6. Ultra320 SCSI connector (68-pin SCSIA1)

This motherboard comes with the Adaptec AIC-7901X PCI-X U320

SCSI controller that supports one 68-Pin Ultra320 SCSI connector. The

SCSI channel can support a maximum of 15 SCSI devices as specified

by Ultra320 standards.

SCSI Connection Notes
This motherboard has a 68-Pin Ultra320 SCSI connector.
The onboard SCSI chipset incorporates an advanced multimode I/O cell

that supports both single-ended (SE), Ultra2, Ultra160, and Ultra320

devices. With Ultra320 devices, the SCSI bus platform performs at full

Ultra320 speeds (up to 320MB/s) and extended cabling 12m (or 25m

in a point-to-point configuration). When an SE device is attached, the

bus defaults to an SE speed and 1.5m cable length.

Connect SCSI devices as specified. A SCSI channel should have only one

type of SCSI standard (e.g. Ultra320, Ultra160, Ultra2, Ultra-Wide).

Mixing SCSI devices on a single channel decreases performance of the

slower devices.
