Quick Installation Guide
Introduction
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.
