PCM-3430 Quick Installation Guide
The PCM-3430 is featured with the Symbios SYM53C895 Small Computer System Integrated chip, PC/104 and PC/104 Plus connection capability. Onboard offers a designated BIOS single-chip for customer modification. SYM53C895 PCI/SCSI I/O is a high performance processor that will add signifcant improvement to your PCI system. SCSI Ultra 2 will support three different types of SCSI from Fast SCSI, to LVD Ultra 2 SCSI and also Ultra SCSI. The benefit of PCM-3430 is the SCSI chip can process data and coordinate up to 15 devices which are simultaneously connected to your mainframe. SCSI is able to carry out this task through the PCI bus.
SYM53C895 Ultra 2 SCSI implements the LVDlink transceivers, this technology allows for low voltage differential transfer. Less power is used allowing for less noise interference and the transfer of data becomes clearer which will lead to a longer cable.
PC/104 is a connection process where 104 signal pins are attached to 104 ports on two different buses. PC/104 no longer incorporates the ISA/PISA bus connection method. This new method of connection between PC boards or with compact boards has lead to smaller demensions in board manufacturing. PC/104 Plus is a connection process where 120 signal pins are attached to 120 ports on one large bus.
