Host Adapter Solutions
from LSI Logic
LSI Logic is a leader in the industry
because of our engineering expertise and
ability to combine a variety of I/O
functions on a single Host Adapter. These
functions include; SCSI, Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, Video, and Fibre Channel.
Providing users with as many as seven I/O
functions on a single adapter, LSI allows
users to conserve PCI slots, improve system
reliability, and maximize port density.
• Low profile host adapters - LSI Logic
introduced the first low-profile SCSI Host
Adapters designed for 1U and 2U high
rackmount servers. The family of
HBAs includes Ultra SCSI, Ultra2
SCSI, Ultra160 SCSI, Ultra320
SCSI, and Fibre Channel to meet
the needs of server designers and system
integrators.
• Dual channel SCSI and Fibre Channel
adapters - Dual channel boards are
designed for enterprise servers that feature
two high performance
channels. These boards handle heavy I/O
requirements in high-end applications.
• Single channel SCSI and Fibre Channel
adapters for workstations and entry-level
servers.
• Internal legacy SCSI adapters for
servers, tape back-up, CD-ROM.
• External legacy SCSI adapters for
peripheral attach.
• Multi-function and combination adapters
– You will find that line of our adapters
enable users to achieve the highest levels
of overall system performance while
conserving valuable PCI slots by placing
numerous functions on one board.
Custom Capabilities to meet your
specific requirements
LSI Logic offers turnkey capabilities in
custom host adapter board design to meet
OEM specific needs and technical require-
ments. These turnkey solutions include
engineering resources to full product line
production in LSI Logic ISO9001 certified
worldwide manufacturing operations. In
addition, the multifunction host adapter
product line allows us to fit multiple,
specific technology requirements onto one
adapter saving valuable space within the
system. We also have many technologies
to choose from depending on speed,
bandwidth, distance, and form factor
needs including Low Profile PCI and
CompactPCI(tm).
Software And Interoperability You
Can Count On
Data reliability and system performance
are crucial to mission critical applications.
LSI Logic has software that you can count
on. The SDMS(tm) software is designed to
work with Ultra, Ultra2 and Ultra160 SCSI
product lines and we are proud to
introduce Fusion-MPT software for easily
migrating to future I/O technologies. For

Convenient Kits Provide Everything
You Need
Most host adapters are available as indi-
vidual boards or in boxed kits containing
everything you need to install a SCSI or
Fibre Channel board in your system. To
speed design and system expansion
activities, you can obtain most host
adapters boxed with cables, software and
documentation or custom configured for
original equipment manufacturers.
