DC-390 Series SCSI Adapter

Quick Reference Guide (rev 4.02)

INTRODUCTION

The DC-390 series is a SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) bus to PCI bus host

adapter, which complies to the PCI 2.1 specification with Plug-&-Play (PnP) readiness. The

maximum SCSI devices supported are: DC-390/390U (7) and DC-390F (15). By using the

Disconnect/Reconnect technique, performance degradation during multitasking operations is

prevented. Other enhanced SCSI-2 features such as scatter-gather and command-tag queuing

are supported.

The DC-390 series supports ASPI (Advanced SCSI Programming Interface) managers for

most of the operating systems available today to assure operation with popular third party

applications.

Device drivers are also supported for the major operating systems for compatibility with a

full range of SCSI peripherals including CD-ROMs, Photo CDs, tape backups, scanners,

removable media and SCSI hard drives.

SCSI Device Activity LED Indicator (JP1) JP1 is used to indicate activity of the SCSI devices controlled by the DC-390 series, and should be connected to the cable leading to the Hard Drive LED on the front panel of your computer case.
Page 4: Driver Installation
In order to stabilize the SCSI bus, only two sets of terminators can be installed - one at each end of the SCSI bus. The DC-390 series itself is equipped with Active Terminators that automatically switch from Enabled to Disabled or vice versa by scanning the devices connected on the SCSI bus.
