| IOI-A100U2W-Mac provides unmatched Ultra2 SCSI data transfers of up to
80 MByte/secV thats 16 times faster than the built-in external SCSI in
every Macintosh! Extended cable lengths of up to 12 meters for Ultra2 devices
illustrate its system configuration flexibility. Thoroughly tested with
the most common Mac peripherals, IOI-A100U2W-Mac provides the speed, flexibility,
and compatibility required to optimize todays most powerful Macintosh systems.
The 32-bit PCI interface transfers data at the rate of 133 MByte/sec
with a 33 MHz PCI clock. The Ultra2 SCSI interface is capable of bursting
data at 80 MByte/sec on the bus. This high speed interface with its embedded
I/O processor makes IOI-A100U2W-Mac suited for servers and professional
desktops. IOI-A100U2W-Mac uses little or no CPU bandwidth by off-loading
all the I/O tasks to the 32-bit I/O processor embedded in the controller.
This results in very high system performance in I/O intensive applications
such as multimedia, imaging, client server databases, intranet applications,
web tools and RAID subsystems that require high availability and throughput.
While IOI-A100U2W-Mac is capable of keeping pace with the most demanding
applications, it offers complete compatibility with your existing SCSI
peripherals. You can combine SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3 or UltraSCSI peripherals
for optimum performance and value. In Ultra2 SCSI modes, the SCSI I/O
pad design allows cable lengths of up to 12 meters, and in point-to-point
configurations cabling can be extended up to 25 meters. This increased
cable length provides greater flexibility in system configurations, especially
in clustering and RAID applications.
IOI-A100U2W-Mac features SmartSCSI, a user friendly setup utility that
allows configuration of individual SCSI devices and host adapter termination
via the keyboard. Updates to the firmware can also be accomplished with
SmartSCSIs intuitive interface. And the field upgradeable BIOS utility
makes upgrading your system fast and easy.
IOI-A100U2W-Mac guarantees compatibility with the latest version of Mac OS-compatible systems. The newest in a family of PCI-to-SCSI host adapters
from IOI, IOI-A100U2W-Mac has been fully tested to deliver the utmost
in reliability and performance. |
