PROMISE TECHNOLOGY, INC. OCTET CONDUCTOR(PCI) Card Type Hard drive duplicator controller card Hard Drives supported One master EIDE/IDE drive (eight target EIDE/IDE drives) Floppy drives supported None Data Bus 32-bit PCI Card Size Half-length, full-height card [Image] CONNECTIONS Function Location Function Location Primary connector to J2 Secondary connector J4 Octet Station to Octet Station CABLE1-IN - external CABLE2-IN via adapter cable extender (see note) Primary connector to J3 Octet Station CABLE1-IN - internal Note: The controller and Octet Conductor are connected via two adapter cables. One cable extends from connector J3 to the "CABLE1-IN" connector on the Octet Conductor (via external connector J2). A second cable extends from J4 to "CABLE2-IN" on the Octet Conductor (via an Adapter Cable Extender that fits into a open slot next to the controller). The cable extender provides the path between the secondary internal connector J4 and the external cable. USER CONFIGURABLE SETTINGS Function Location Setting » Octet Conductor controller is only J1 Open controller installed OR the primary controller is installed in two controller configuration. Octet Conductor is the secondary J1 Closed controller installed in two controller configuration. MISCELLANEOUS TECHNICAL INFORMATION The Octet Conductor controller interfaces between the host system and an Octet Station, which duplicates the contents of one master drive to eight target drives. Two Octet Conductor controllers can be installed per system to perform a total of sixteen target drive duplications.
