Overview - IBM NetMEDIA Systems Management Adapter (Type 3551)

Content

• Eases the constraints on the overall length of the external SCSI cable. The adapter works as a repeater; therefore, the internal SCSI wire length inside the NetMEDIA box does not count against the overall length of a single SCSI channel.
  
• Acts as a Low Voltage Differential SCSI (LVDS) interface. Using this adapter, an LVDS channel can be attached to the NetMEDIA box and the drives inside the box can be Single Ended (SE) SCSI. The adapter converts the external LVDS signal to a 4-drop internal SE SCSI signal. However, the NetMEDIA box appears as one LVDS device on the LVDS channel.
  

• Advanced Systems Management functions, such as:
  

On-board electronic SCSI signal termination that allows the NetMEDIA box to be powered off without disruption to the host

Provides independent dual SCSI channel operation
Enables tape array and mirroring applications
