1.1 General Description
The LSI Logic LSIU40HVD provides a SCSI-3, Ultra SCSI interface to
PCI computer systems. Installing this adapter in your PCI system allows
connection of SCSI devices over a SCSI bus.
The dual channel LSIU40HVD provides a 16-bit differential, 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 backwards compatible with the existing LSI8751D host
adapter.
The Storage Device Management System (SDMS™) software operates
the board. 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 will help you gain the full benefits of the LSIU40HVD.
