1. Introduction
The ASUS LS99 LAN/SCSI card can only be installed on a motherboard with an
ASUS proprietary expansion slot. See 2.3 Installing the ASUS LAN/SCSI card for
location of this slot.
The ASUS LS99 LAN/SCSI card enables you to connect up to 30 SCSI devices—
such as very large arrays of high-performance HDDs, external storage subsystems,
clustered configurations, Ultra160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives.
There is also an optional integrated 3Com 3C920 Fast Ethernet controller for
connecting your PC to a network.
Ultra160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that increases SCSI performance
from 80 MBytes/sec to 160 MBytes/sec. In addition to providing much greater
performance, Ultra160 SCSI enables a maximum allowable cable length of 12 meters
for optimal connectivity and flexibility.
