ETC LSI8750SP

LSI8750SP
SCSI Host Adapter
KEY APPLICATIONS
• Upgrading existing Fast SCSI
hard disk systems to Ultra-level
performance, while supporting
legacy SCSI devices
• High-performance desktop PCs
and workstations
• Intersystem connections - server
and workstation to RAID, net
work management
• Adding Ultra SCSI hard
drives to servers, workstations
and RAID
Bus Interface:
3/5V PCI
The LSI8750SP PCI-to-Ultra SCSI host adapter combines high, Ultra SCSI
data transfer rates with the high performance PCI system bus.
OVERVIEW
The LSI8750SP host adapter combines high, Ultra SCSI data transfer
rates with the high performance PCI system bus. This adapter is built around
the LSI53C875 PCI-SCSI controller and supports narrow (8-bit) legacy SCSI-1
and -2 (Fast) devices as well as Ultra SCSI devices.
Connecting up to seven SCSI devices ranging from hard drives, scanners,
CD-ROMs, CD-recorders, CD jukeboxes, tape backups, and removable
media peripherals such as MO, Syquest or Zip drives could not be easier.
Setting up the SCSI bus is a snap with the built-in SCAM (SCSI Configured
AutoMatically) and SCSI bus configuration utilities. The PCI bus provides
Plug-and-Play with no jumpers, switches, IRQs, system DMA or addresses to
budget, making installation a matter of plugging in the host adapter and
loading the drivers.

®
The LSI8750SP does not shrink the entire SCSI bus performance to the
slowest device on the bus. Whether you are connecting SCSI, Fast or Ultra
SCSI devices, the LSI8750SP matches its transfer rates to the highest rate of
each device on the bus.
For critical data handling applications, LSI Logic offers data and product
reliability, software and hardware compatibility and easy installability.
Extensive host adapter and software testing by LSI Logic and our technology
partners ensures OEM compatibility with all major operating systems and a
wide variety of SCSI-1, Fast SCSI-2, and Ultra SCSI devices.
Powerful SCSI Device Management System (SDMS) software, available
exclusively from LSI Logic, and on-board BIOS and configuration utility
makes installation of the SCSI I/O subsystem easy and virtually automatic.
