GIO Expansion
A wide variety of expansion cards that enhance the video, networking,
and input/output capabilities of the Indy
system are available directly from Silicon Graphics. Many
others are available from third parties.
High-Speed Networking with FDDI
Silicon Graphics has developed the industry's highest-performing FDDI
solution, the GIO-FDDI expansion card. This card, which is capable of
full-bandwidth performance, gives the Indy workstation ten times the
network throughput available from traditional Ethernet.
Dual SCSI Channels for Optimum Performance
To augment the internal SCSI channel, add up to two more SCSI-2 channels
on the GIO expansion slots. Combining multiple SCSI-2 controllers with the
disk striping available in the IRIX(tm) Operating System significantly
increases the available I/O throughput by providing an extra 10MB/second
channel on each controller.
Additional Ethernet Ports
Run separate networks on each port. Let the Indy workstation route between
the subnetworks. Add one or two E++ GIO Ethernet adapters, and the Indy
workstation will connect to one or two more subnets.
Token Ring
Indy workstations let you opt for token ring networks instead of Ethernet.
The GIO Token Ring adapter delivers high-performance connectivity to IP and
SNA running on shielded or unshielded twisted-pair token ring networks.
The GIOSync Synchronous Serial Adapter
For mainframe connections or links to Wide Area X.25
networks, the GIOSync adapter supports SDLC and HDLC
on either of two independent 64K ports. You can even run SDLC on one port
while running HDLC on the other.
