6U SCSI interface module

February 2004 Industrial Computer Hardware

The MIC-3645 from ProMicro is a 6U-size, high-speed SCSI module for Compact PCI systems. It uses the Symbios SYM53C1010-33, PCI to dual channel Ultra3 SCSI multifunction controller to provide an Ultra3 wide SCSI interface. SYM53C1010 supports a 64-bit or 32-bit 33 MHz PCI bus and performs 16-bit, Ultra3 SCSI synchronous data transfers as fast as 160 MB/s on each SCSI channel providing a total bandwidth of 320 MB/s.

The MIC-3645 can support cables up to 12 m long and up to 16 LVD or SE devices on a wide SCSI bus. Three LEDs on the front panel monitor the operations of the two Ulltra3 SCSI channels as well as the power status. The rear transition board provides two external connectors and two internal connectors for easy system integration. Users can choose the more convenient connection to set up their system.

The interface module supports a variety of operating systems including DOS, Windows NT/2000/98/95, OS/2, SCO UNIX, UnixWare and NetWare.
