PowerDomain(tm) 3940UW SCSI accelerator Unparalleled connectivity and I/O speed for Power Macintosh(tm) with PCI --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS * Up to 80 MByte/sec SCSI data transfer rate over two channels * Simultaneous support for up to 30 devices: SCSI-1, Fast, Wide and Ultra SCSI * Two external channels supported concurrently * Easy-to-use installation and configuration utilities * SCSI Manager 4.3 compliant --------------------------------------------------------------------------- OVERVIEW The Adaptec(reg) PowerDomain 3940UW SCSI accelerator is the ideal I/O solution for high-speed data transfers between your Power Macintosh with PCI and SCSI peripherals. Today's data-intensive applications demand high-performance I/O and the PowerDomain 3940UW delivers. It moves data up to 80 MByte/sec on two SCSI channels accommodating up to 30 peripherals, so your hottest applications never have to wait for I/O. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEY BENEFITS Super I/O speed for hot applications The fastest way to get data between the Power Macintosh CPU and SCSI peripherals is the multichannel PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator. Its blinding speed comes from the powerful combination of the PCI bus, which propels data at 133 MByte/sec, multiple channels and the latest in UltraSCSI technology. The PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator speeds data up to 80 MByte/sec over two Ultra Wide SCSI channels. Each channel is independently powered by its own proven PhaseEngine(reg) RISC processor. In addition, standard features such as tagged command queuing and disconnect/reconnect make I/O more efficient. The result is fast response time and greater productivity. More choice in SCSI devices When it comes to peripheral connectivity, no product surpasses the PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator. Providing two channels, it doubles the number of devices you can connect through a single PCI slot. Each channel supports up to 15 peripherals in any combination of SCSI-1, Fast SCSI (8- and 16-bit) and Ultra SCSI (8- and 16-bit). Not only can you connect more devices and more kinds of devices, but you can also configure them for optimum performance by putting the fastest devices on a separate channel. Compatibility you can count on You can install the PowerDomain 3940UW with confidence that off-the-shelf disk and tape drives, scanners and other SCSI peripherals are completely compatible. As a pioneering member of the PCI steering committee, Adaptec helped create the PCI specification that vendors live by. And we work closely with all major peripheral manufacturers to ensure compatibility between PowerDomain accelerators and the latest SCSI devices. The PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator complies with current PCI and SCSI specifications and has been tested with hundreds of SCSI peripherals in the Adaptec Compatibility Test Lab. Hassle-free installation. Simplified device management Installing and configuring the PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator is a breeze. No jumpers to move or switches to set. Adding, removing or reconfiguring peripherals is effortless. Termination and other accelerator settings can be changed quickly using the PowerDomain Control software's simple menu screens. Management of disk drives connected to the PowerDomain 3940UW is simple, using DiscBasics(tm) software. DiscBasics software formats and mounts drives connected to the PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator. Plus it lets you view all other peripherals connected to the Power Macintosh system. Quality and reliability Like every Adaptec IOware(reg) product, the PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator has passed comprehensive functional and mechanical inspections and tests in two separate laboratories: the Adaptec Product Test Lab and the Adaptec Compatibility Test Lab. IOware products from Adaptec Adaptec's IOware products combine hardware and software technology into solutions that are critical to ensuring the level of performance needed by today's data- and graphics- intensive applications. Resident in both the computer and peripherals, Adaptec's IOware products speed the flow of data from one part of the system to another, significantly improving overall performance. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- KIT INCLUDES: * PowerDomain 3940UW accelerator * PowerDomain Control software * PowerDomain DiscBasics software * Internal 68-pin two SCSI ribbon cables * External 0.8-mm, 68-pin cable * Complete documentation --------------------------------------------------------------------------- TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Computer Bus: PCI expansion bus Interface Protocol: Bus Mastering with Direct Memory Access (DMA) Device Protocol: SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3 SCSI Bus Width: 8- and 16-bit (Fast, Wide, and Ultra) PCI Bus Data Transfer Rate: Up to 133 MByte/sec Synchronous Data Transfer Rate: Up to 40 MByte/sec/channel No. of Devices Supported: Up to 30 single-ended SCSI peripheral devices Types of Devices Supported: Hard disk, removable disk, MO, CD-ROM, tape, DAT, and Floptical(reg) drives, and scanners Termination: Automatic Advanced Features: Support for scatter/gather, disconnect/reconnect, tagged command queuing Independent negotiation of high-speed data transfers (Fast, Wide, and Ultra) with each peripheral device Support for 255 simultaneous active SCSI commands On-board flash memory for easy driver upgrades SCSI Manager 4.3 compliant Bootable from attached disks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS External Connector: Two 0.8 mm, 68-pin Ultra Wide connectors Size: 7"x 5" (17.8 cm x 12.7 cm) Width: No encroachment on neighboring slots Operating Temperature: 0 degrees C to 55 degrees C Storage Temperature: -55 degrees C to 85 degrees C Humidity (operating): 10% to 90%, non-condensing Power Requirements: +5.0 +/- 0.25 volts at 2.0 amps maximum Warranty: Five years --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adaptec, Inc. 691 South Milpitas Boulevard Milpitas, California 95035 Adaptec Europe Belgium Tel: (32) 2-352-34-11 FAX: (32) 2-352-34-00 Adaptec Japan Tokyo Tel: (81-3)-5276-9882 FAX: (81-3)-5276-9884 Adaptec Singapore Tel: (65) 278-7300 FAX: (65) 273-0163 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Literature: 1-800-934-2766 (USA and Canada) (510) 732-3829 Ordering Software: 1-800-442-7274 (USA and Canada) (408) 957-7274 Interactive FAX : (408) 957-7150 Adaptec USA Bulletin Board: (408) 945-7727 (up to 28,800 baud, using 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity) CompuServe: GO ADAPTEC Microsoft Network: GO ADAPTEC Internet ftp server: ftp.adaptec.com World-Wide Web: http://www.adaptec.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1996 Adaptec, Inc.
