SYM8751SPE

PCI-to-Ultra SCSI Host Adapter

The SYM8751SPE host adapter combines high

performance and Ultra SCSI data transfer rates

with the speed of a PCI system bus. As part of the

Symbios? host adapter family built around the

SYM53C875E PCI-SCSI controller, the SYM875lSPE

supports 8-bit (narrow) and 16-bit (wide) legacy

SCSI and SCSI-2 (Fast) devices. It also supports

Ultra SCSI devices. The SYM875lSPE is the next

generation of the SYM8751SP PCI-Ultra SCSI host

adapter. It provides all the functionality of its

predeccessor and adds Microsoft PC97 compliance.

To connect up to 15 SCSI devices in standard

systems, simply plug in the host adapter and load

the drivers. Setting up hard drives, scanners,

CD-ROMs, CD-recorders, CD jukeboxes, tape

backups, and removable media peripherals (MO,

SyQuestTM or Iomega ZipTM drives) is fast and easy

with the SYM8751SPE?s built-in SCAM (SCSI

configured automatically) and SCSI bus

configuration utilities. The board?s PCI bus

interface provides Plug-and-Play installation with

no jumpers, switches, IRQs, system DMA or

addresses to set. For the greatest flexibility, the

SYM8751SPE can be configured for clustered

systems applications or external 8-bit peripherals,

all the while maintaining industry standards with

Microsoft PC97 compliance.

The SYM8751SPE provides scalability and flexibility

and does not limit the entire SCSI bus performance

to the slowest device on the bus. Whether

connecting SCSI, Fast or Ultra SCSI devices, the

SYM8751SPE matches its transfer rates to the

highest rate of each device on the bus. The host

adapter is flexible and grows as the system is

upgraded and expanded.

For critical data handling applications, Symbios

host adapters offer data and product reliability,

software and hardware compatibility and easy

installation. Extensive host adapter and software

testing by Symbios and its technology partners

ensures OEM compatibility with all major operating

systems and SCSI, Fast SCSI-2, and Ultra SCSI devices.

The powerful Symbios SCSI Device Management

System (SDMS) software, on-board BIOS and

configuration utility make SCSI I/O subsystem

installation easy and virtually automatic.
