Paralan's
P79320 is a high-performance, 320 MBytes/s Host Bus Adapter, ideal for high-end
workstations, servers, and power users.
The P79320 is a very easy-to-install SCSI solution. Complete software tools are
provided and there are no jumpers or switches to set for a standard
installation. The termination programming is automatic. The P79320 features
seamless backward compatibility with Asynchronous, Slow, Fast, Ultra, Wide
Ultra, Ultra2 and Ultra3 devices.
Your satisfaction is assured by Paralan - the world's #1 choice for SCSI
enhancement products.
The P79320
incorporates the LSI 53C1020 controller which provides many benefits including:
SureLink™ is the control for Ultra320 SCSI Domain Validation
manageability enhancements in the LSI 53C1020. This is the very latest SCSI
interconnect management solution. It verifies that the system is capable of
transferring data at Ultra320 speeds, allowing it to negotiate to lower speed
and bus width if necessary.
LVDLink™
Technology Benefits:
The P79320 supports LVD, a signaling technology that increases
reliability of SCSI data transfers over longer distances than are
supported by Single-ended (SE) SCSI. The low power requirement of LVD
allows the I/0 transceivers to be integrated directly onto the ASIC.
LVDLink™ technology lowers the amplitude of noise reflections and
allows higher transmission speeds. LVD provides a long-term migration
path to even faster SCSI transfer rates without compromising signal
integrity, cable length, or connectivity.
TolerANT™
Technology Benefits:
TolerANT™ technology includes active negation on the SCSI drivers and
input signal filtering on the SCSI receivers.
The benefits of TolerANT™ technology include increased noise immunity
when the signal transitions to HIGH, better performance due to balanced
duty cycles, and improved SCSI transfer rates.
Status
LEDs for System Information
The Paralan Host Bus Adapter (HBA) includes three LEDs on the board to provide
system information. The "Bus Activity" LED blinks with bus activity.
This can often be used along with LEDs on drives or SCSI expanders to diagnose
the location of a problem. This LED includes header pins that may be used to
power a remote LED.
The HBA Terminator Status LED illuminates when the terminator on the HBA is
enabled. This provides the user information on correct termination of the SCSI
bus.
The HBA Board Status LED provides an indication of the status of the HBA. When
the board is working correctly this LED blinks on/off on a 1 to 2 second cycle.
If the board detects a problem this LED blinks a series of long and short
pulses. If the LED does not blink at all, it has detected a major problem.
