Overview
Ultra160 SCSI on the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160
The Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 supports Ultra160 SCSI devices.
Ultra160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that transfers data
at up to 160 MBytes/sec. In addition to providing much greater
performance, Ultra160 SCSI increases the maximum allowable cable
length from 3 meters to 12 meters
1
for improved connectivity and
flexibility.
The Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 combines this Ultra160 SCSI
technology with Adaptec’s SpeedFlex™ technology. SpeedFlex
allows the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 to be backwards compatible
with previous generations of SCSI products, while allowing newer
Ultra160 SCSI devices to operate at the higher 160 MBytes/sec rate
and increased cable length.
This User’s Reference provides information about troubleshooting,
SCSI termination, and other important topics. It also explains how to
use the built-in SCSISelect utility if you need to change the Adaptec
SCSI Card 19160 settings.
Note:
Read the Adaptec SCSI Card 19160 Installation Guide if
you need instructions on installing the SCSI Card or con-
necting SCSI devices to it.

When only one Ultra2 or Ultra160 device is connected, the cable length may
be up to 25 meters (82 ft.). See
Maximum Cable Lengths
