Product Description
The IBM 73H3562 is a Fast/Wide SCSI controller card designed to interface with IBM systems that utilize the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. This adapter card enables the connection of various SCSI devices, such as hard disk drives, tape drives, and optical drives, to the host system. The 'Fast/Wide' designation indicates that it supports a 16-bit data path (Wide) and operates at the higher speed of the Fast SCSI standard, typically achieving data transfer rates of up to 20 Megabytes per second. This was a common standard for high-performance storage in its era. This controller card is intended for use in IBM servers and workstations that feature available PCI slots. It provides the necessary hardware interface to manage multiple SCSI devices, allowing for the expansion of storage capacity or the addition of specialized peripherals. The card will typically have one or more external SCSI connectors, which could be a 50-pin Centronics connector for older configurations or a 68-pin connector for wider SCSI implementations, depending on the specific revision or model variant. To implement the IBM 73H3562, users must ensure they have the correct SCSI cabling to connect their devices and that the host system's operating system has the appropriate drivers installed. This controller card is a legacy component, suitable for maintaining or upgrading older IBM systems that rely on SCSI technology for their storage infrastructure. It represents a reliable method for connecting a range of SCSI peripherals in environments where PCI bus compatibility is required.
