DC-310 series SCSI Adapter
Introduction
The DC-310 series has two adapters: DC-310U, an Ultra-SCSI adapter based on the
Symbios Logic SYM53C860 SCSI Chip, and DC-310, a Fast SCSI-2 adapter based on
SYM53C810 SCSI Chip. Designed to provide a low cost, easy to implement SCSI solution,
this adapter utilises the built-in Symbios Logic SCSI BIOS (SDMS BIOS version 4.x) on
supported mainboards, such as Tekram P5 VX/TX and P6/Pentium_II series.
Fully Plug & Play and PCI 2.1 compliant, enhanced SCSI features include
Disconnect/Reconnect, Scatter/Gather, and Tag Queuing to greatly improve overall system
performance, particularly under multitasking environments.
Jumper-less hardware design, Active SCSI Bus Termination, and 32-bit PCI DMA Bus
Mastering are a few more of the advanced features built-in to the DC-310 series adapters,
providing the best performance and ease of use possible

SCAM Support - SCAM (SCSI Configured AutoMatically) is the SCSI Plug and Play protocol supported by this Symbios BIOS version 4.X.
- Page 4 DC-310 series SCSI Adapter Quick Reference Guide (rev 2.2) Read Write I/O Timeout (secs) - This option sets the time the host adapter waits for a read, write, verify, or seek command to complete before trying the I/O transfer again. Since this provides a safeguard allowing the system to recover if an I/O operation fails, it is recommended that you always set the time-out to a value greater than zero (no time-out).
