This installation guide tells you how to install either the Adaptec
®
PowerDomain
29160 or 29160N SCSI PCI card in the Power
®
Macintosh
and how to connect internal and external SCSI
devices to it.
The 29160/29160N card is fully compatible with Mac OS 8.6
through 9.X; it will support Mac OS X when available.
You can connect up to 15 SCSI devices to the Adaptec
PowerDomain 29160 and 29160N cards. Both cards are capable
of a maximum data throughput rate of 160 MB/sec. for newer
LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI devices that can operate at
that speed.
The cards also support older SE (Single-Ended) SCSI devices that
run at slower speeds. The term SE SCSI devices includes SCSI-1,
SCSI-2, Fast, and Ultra SCSI devices. Adaptec's SpeedFlex™ tech-
nology makes it possible to connect both older and newer SCSI
devices to your Adaptec PowerDomain 29160 or 29160N card
and to operate all devices at their maximum possible throughput.
This is explained in detail in the sections on connecting various
kinds of SCSI devices.

In this Installation Guide, the term "LVD SCSI devices"
means both Ultra2 SCSI and Ultra160-LVD SCSI devices.
