Both the primary and secondary IDE ports feature an
enhanced IDE interface which supports up to 10 MB per
second 32-bit wide data transfers on the high-performance
PCI local bus.
SCSI Port
The small computer system interface (SCSI) board installed
in SCSI configurations provide the highest performance
SCSI I/O technology to the fast PCI local-bus. The SCSI
port connects the hard disk in SCSI configurations and is
compatible with all SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 peripherals. The
BIOS-resident SCSISelect configuration utility eliminates
the need to set jumpers or terminators when adding
peripherals. Settings are controlled through the keyboard.
See Chapter 4, NEC Drivers and Utilities, for information
on using SCSISelect.
