2904 SCSI Card, PCI, SCSI
The Adaptec® AVA-2904 host adapters are the optimal choice for SCSI peripherals
such as CD-Recordable drives, removable drives, DVDs, scanners and
magneto-optical drives. Based on the industry-standard
Adaptec AHA-2940 architecture, the AVA-2904 family of adapters
provides the superior compatibility Adaptec is known for, resulting in
fewer technical support calls and lower costs. In fact, these PCI-to-SCSI
host adapters deliver the lowest total cost solution to the OEM.
Unmatched Compatibility
Adaptec has tested the AVA-2904 family with hundreds of systems,
peripherals and software products. As the industry leader for SCSI host
adapters, Adaptec enjoys extensive testing in the labs of virtually every
SCSI peripheral vendor and PC OEM. As a result, the AVA-2904 host
adapters deliver unmatched compatibility and painless installation.
Support for the AVA-2904 family is built into Windows®95 and
Windows NT®. Support for Windows® 3.1 and DOS is available through drivers.
Simple Installation
With features such as Plug-and-Play and SCAM (SCSI Configured
Automatically), the AVA-2904 family of host adapters are designed with
everything needed for simple system installation and easy peripheral
attachment.
Built in SCSI Performance
Advanced SCSI features such as scatter/gather, disconnect/reconnect
and tagged command queuing, free the CPU to handle multitasking I/O
more efficiently. The AVA-2904 combines fast throughput with minimal
demands on the CPU to speed the handling of large data formats such as
video and 3-D images.
Low CPU Overhead
The AVA-2904 adapters are designed to improve overall system
performance. Bus Mastering DMA makes the AVA-2904 ideal for
multitasking environments by relieving the CPU from the overhead of I/O
processing. The onboard, RISC-based, PhaseEngine® quickly processes the
SCSI commands decreasing the load on the host system CPU.
Proven Quality and Reliability
The AVA-2904 host adapters have undergone thorough testing in
Adaptec’s Product Test Laboratory. Each board design is subjected to
thousands of hours of functional, compatibility, and environmental
tests to ensure the highest quality and reliability. Our commitment to quality
has earned Adaptec’s manufacturing facility ISO-9002 certification.
