1.1 General Description
The LSI8751D provides a SCSI-3, Ultra SCSI interface to PCI computer
systems. Installing this adapter in your PCI system allows you to connect
SCSI devices over a SCSI bus.
The
LSI8751D is a 16-bit, High Voltage Differential (HVD), Ultra SCSI
solution for your computer, using only one PCI slot. This board can
support both legacy Fast SCSI devices and the newest Ultra SCSI
devices. It is also backward compatible with the existing LSI8251D host
adapter.
The Storage Device Management System (SDMS™) software operates
the board, but the design of the board does not prevent other software
from being written and used with it.
This guide and the PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0
User’s Guide contain product information and installation instructions.
This information helps you gain the full benefits of the LSI8751D for your
computer system.
