1-2 Using the SYM8953U Host Adapter
the actions of the SCSI and DMA cores. The SCRIPTS processor
executes complex SCSI bus sequences independently of the host CPU.
For more information on the SCSI SCRIPTS Instruction Set used to write
these algorithms, refer to the Symbios SYM53C895A PCI to Ultra2 SCSI
Controller Technical Manual.
This user’s guide, along with the Symbios PCI SCSI Device Management
System SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide, contains a complete library of product
information and installation instructions. With this information, the full
benefits of your SYM8953U PCI to Ultra2 SCSI Host Adapter are
available to you.
