Getting Started

This Installation Guide tells you how to install and con-

figure AHA

-3940AU/AUW PCI-to-UltraSCSI host

adapters. These host adapters have two SCSI chan-

nels which operate like two independent host adapters.

AHA-3940AU/AUW host adapters are designed for

computers with PCI slots. PCI is a local bus interface

that enables high-speed data transfer. The computer in

which you install the host adapter must be compliant with

PCI 2.0 or higher and the motherboard BIOS must sup-

port PCI-to-PCI Bridges. If you are not sure whether

the motherboard BIOS supports PCI-to-PCI Bridges,

ask the motherboard or computer manufacturer.

The AHA-3940AU supports up to seven 8-bit SCSI

devices on each 8-bit SCSI channel. The

AHA-3940AUW supports up to fifteen 16-bit or 8-bit

SCSI devices on each 16-bit Wide SCSI channel; up to

seven of the devices can be 8-bit devices. Installation

procedures are the same for the AHA-3940AU and

the AHA-3940AUW.
