DC-310U PCI ULTRA-SCSI ADAPTER

The DC-310U is an Ultra-SCSI Host Adapter based on the Symbios Logic SYM53C860
Ultra-SCSI Chip. Designed to provide a low cost, easy to implement SCSI solution, this
adapter utilizes the built-in Symbios Logic SCSI BIOS on supported mainboards.

Fully Plug & Play and PCI 2.1 compliant, enhanced SCSI features include

Disconnect/Reconnect

Scatter/Gather

, and

Tag Queuing

to greatly improve overall system

performance, particularly under multitasking environments.

Jumper-less hardware design

Active SCSI Bus Termination,

and

32-bit PCI DMA Bus

Mastering

are a few more of the advanced features built-in to the DC-310U, providing the

best performance and ease of use possible.
