Getting Started
This Installation Guide explains how to install and
configure the AVA
AVA-2825 combines support for both IDE and Fast
SCSI on one VL-Bus
to benefit from the flexibility of Fast SCSI and the
fast data transfer rate of advanced IDE hard disk
drives, while using only one VL-Bus slot in your PC.
You can connect one or two IDE drives to the
AVA-2825. You can also connect up to seven SCSI
devices and two floppy disk drives. AVA-2825 host
adapters are designed for VL-Bus PCs with a 486
or higher microprocessor.
To get the fastest data transfer rate from your
enhanced IDE disk drives, you need to install the
FLEXI-Driver
AVA-2825 host adapter. The FLEXI-Driver Installa-
tion Guide explains how to do this.
