The LSI20860 PCI-to-Ultra SCSI
host adapter facilitates high-speed
data transfer without slowing
the bus.
OVERVIEW
The LSI20860 joins PCI, the fastest standard systems bus available
today, with the high performance of Ultra SCSI I/O technology. Based on
the industry’s first PCI-SCSI RISC processor, the LSI20860 realizes the full
throughput potential of SCSI I/O with 32-bit, bus-mastering (DMA) PCI transfer
rates. This robust adapter transfers data at the highest rate of each SCSI
device on the bus without downgrading the bus to the slowest device.
Combining low cost and high performance, the LSI20860 is an excellent
solution for OEM peripheral attach and desktop applications.
Setting up the LSI20860 to connect up to seven SCSI devices (CD-ROMs,
scanners, tape devices and hard drives) is fast and easy. That’s because the
LSI20860 eliminates the need for jumpers, switches and budgeting for system
DMA, addresses and IRQ’s. Coupling the LSI Logic proprietary SCSI RISC
architecture with high-performance software drivers provide these SCSI
devices with up to 20 MBps data transfer rates.
In critical data handling operations, the LSI20860 host adapter offers
data and product reliability, software and hardware compatibility, and ease
of use. Stringent testing by LSI Logic and other software/hardware vendors
ensures OEM compatibility with all major operating systems and a wide variety of SCSI-1, Fast SCSI-2 and Ultra SCSI devices.
Powerful software drivers and utilities included with each host adapter
make installation and configuration tasks virtually automatic. SCSI Device
Management System (SDMS™) software solves the increasingly complex task
of managing I/O by supporting the LSI Logic family of SCSI processors and
controllers. This robust suite of drivers and utilities is developed in-house and
frequently updated to reflect operating system upgrades and enhancements.

BENEFITS
SOFTWARE SPEEDS INSTALLATION
• Easy to install, easy to use
As part of its complete solution, LSI Logic includes powerful utilities and
drivers with the LSI20860 host adapter. Developed in-house and certified
by major operating system vendors, SDMS (SCSI Device Management
System) software is based on industry standards and makes host adapter
board installation and configuration tasks fast and easy. SDMS drivers,
approved through the Microsoft WHQL, Novell Labs, SCO, Sun and Solaris
certification processes, are compatible with all major OS platforms and are
continually updated to incorporate new OS systems, features and upgrades.
The SDMS software suite is supplied to customers on a compact disk or can
be downloaded from www.lsil.com.
• Supports as many as seven
peripherals at one time,
including hard drives up to
8 Gbytes
• Compatible with most major
operating systems
• Accommodates a wide variety
of data transfer rates without
downgrading the bus to the
slowest level
• Backed by a five-year
limited warranty

HOST ADAPTERS OFFER OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
LSI Logic host adapters are designed around semiconductors that are
designed, manufactured and tested in LSI Logic facilities. Our host adapters
use the highest-quality components and processes available while being
assembled and tested in ISO 9001 facilities. LSI Logic offers a wide range
of Lsibios I/O host adapters that support ISA or PCI host buses. Supported
I/O technologies are Fast, Ultra and Ultra2 SCSI (Ultra3 to be released
soon), USB, PCI-RAID, Fibre Channel, and SCSI bus expanders. Within the
SCSI product portfolio are single-ended, high-voltage differential (HVD) and
low-voltage differential (LVD).
