Throughway

Throughway [INI-9400U]
PCI to Quad Channel UltraSCSI Bus Master Host Adapter

Designed with extreme connectivity in mind, the Initio I/OTHROUGHWAY^TM PCI Quad-channel UltraSCSI bus master host adapter sets an unprecedented new connectivity standard. Supporting connections for up to 28 UltraSCSI devices, I/OTHROUGHWAY delivers up to four times the performance and more than eight times the connectivity of conventional Fast SCSI.

I/OTHROUGHWAY supports the latest UltraSCSI standards, transferring data at up to 40 MBytes/second per independent channel, and takes advantage of the 133 MBytes/second burst rate of the PCI bus to provide unmatched I/O performance. I/OTHROUGHWAY supports all popular network operating systems including Linux, NetWare^® and Windows NT^® . Support for DOS and Windows is built into the intelligence of I/OTHROUGHWAY.

While I/OTHROUGHWAY host adapters are capable of keeping pace with the most demanding applications, they offer complete compatibility with your existing SCSI peripherals. You can combine up to thirty SCSI-1, SCSI-2, SCSI-3, or Ultra SCSI peripherals for optimum performance and value in I/O demanding applications such as CD-ROM servers, video-on-demand and imaging systems.

I/OTHROUGHWAY features SmartSCSI^TM , a user-friendly, BIOS-resident setup utility that allows the user extreme control to boot from any channel, as well as individual device configuration and host adapter termination, all via the keyboard. Easi-Install^TM makes your SCSI software installation under DOS and Windows simple and painless.

I/OTHROUGHWAY also include both auto-configuration and auto-termination for Plug-and-Play installations in PCI based systems. I/O THROUGHWAY will run in Intel^® compatible, DEC Alpha^® and PowerPC^® platforms implementing the PCI bus.

Features & Benefits:
Based on the powerful Initio INIC-950 PCI-UltraSCSI RISC processors:
Utilizing the power of the Initio INIC-950 PCI-UltraSCSI RISC processor, the INI-9400U increases overall SCSI throughput and bandwidth resulting in better host CPU utilization.

Ability to separate slower legacy devices from the UltraSCSI screamers:
Separating SCSI devices such as scanners, tape and magneto-optical drives from your UltraWide SCSI hard disks allows for more efficient utilization of the SCSI bus and better overall system performance.

Quad-channel support for up to 28 UltraSCSI drives:
Combining up to an unprecedented twenty-eight UltraSCSI peripherals for optimum performance and value in extreme connectivity and I/O demanding applications, the INI-9400U series provides unmatched performance, throughput, reliability and value.

Full backward compatibility with existing SCSI devices:
No need to discard existing SCSI or SCSI-2 peripheral investments. In addition to supporting the latest SCSI standard, the INI-9400U series is fully backward compatible with your existing SCSI devices.

Ability to boot from any SCSI channel:
With the UltraConnect series, you are no longer limited to booting from a single SCSI channel. You can combine up to sixty bootable devices on any channel at any SCSI ID. Imagine the power of Windows NT, Windows 95, OS/2, UNIX, and NetWare bootability all at your fingertips - from a single host adapter!
