The CS5-HORN from EKF is a CompactPCI® based Dual Ultra160 SCSI hostadapter, suitable for attachment of LVD/SE 16-bit peripherals as Raid-systems, high performance hard disks and streamer tape drives. Provided with two independent ports, both channels can be dedicated to LVD devices, or alternatively one channel can be used to support mixed performance SE devices.
The CS5-HORN provides up to 320MBps aggregate SCSI throughput. Optimum performance therefore is achieved when the HORN is operated in a 64-bit CPCI backplane, but 32-bit legacy systems also profit from the power of this SCSI controller.
By double transition clocking, Ultra160 speeds up the data transfer rate of Ultra2 from 80MBps to 160MBps per channel. Other Ultra160 features are Domain Validation and Cyclic Redundancy Check. Compatibility is maintained to all previous SCSI standards, e.g. Fast, Ultra and Ultra2 SCSI. The CS5-HORN is provided with two external VHDCI receptacles and one internal HDSUB connector; so external and internal devices can be connected simultaneously.
Comprehensive software support as well as PCI plug&play technology care for effortless installation of the CS5-HORN under nearly all popular operating systems.
