Chapter 1 Quick Installation Procedures This chapter contains general information about Ultra320 SCSI controllers and host adapters. It provides quick host adapter installation instructions for experienced computer users and SCSI bus setup. It also provides quick installation instructions for Windows device drivers. This chapter includes these topics: • Section 1.1, “General Description,” page 1-1 • Section 1.2, “Quick Host Adapter Installation,” page 1-2 • Section 1.
To utilize Ultra320 SCSI performance, you must connect only Low Voltage Differential (LVD) devices to the host adapter. If you connect single-ended (SE) devices and LVD devices, the entire bus will drop to the lower SE speed, limiting bus performance to Ultra SCSI. The Ultra320 SCSI host adapters support all major operating systems, such as Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, NET and XP), Linux, NetWare, UnixWare, SCO OpenServer 5.X, OS/2, and Solaris.
Step 6. Insert your Ultra320 SCSI host adapter board into the selected slot. Step 7. Connect the internal and external SCSI devices to connectors on one SCSI channel. Step 8. Install SCSI bus terminators at the ends of the SCSI bus. The SCSI bus must be properly terminated. Step 9. Set the SCSI IDs for all devices and record them for future reference. Step 10. Make any configuration changes. Step 11.
1.3 Quick Windows Driver Installation To load the SYMMPI.SYS miniport driver during a new Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows NET system installation, you can boot directly from the Microsoft installation CD-ROM. The Windows drivers are not interchangeable, however the instructions are very similar. To install a new Windows operating system and its appropriate device driver, follow these steps: Step 1.
Chapter 2 Detailed Host Adapter Installation This chapter provides detailed instructions on how to install the LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI to PCI-X host adapter boards and includes these topics: • Section 2.1, “Installing your Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter,” page 2-1 • Section 2.2, “SCSI Device Cables,” page 2-4 • Section 2.3, “Connecting SCSI Devices,” page 2-6 • Section 2.4, “Terminating the SCSI Bus,” page 2-11 • Section 2.5, “Setting SCSI IDs,” page 2-12 • Section 2.
Step 3. Be sure to touch a grounded metal surface to discharge static electricity before removing the host adapter board from its package. Caution: You must touch a grounded metal surface before handling boards because static charges on your body can damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by the edge; do not touch board components or gold connector contacts. LSI Logic recommends that you use a static ground strap. Step 4.
2.1.2 Inserting the Host Adapter Perform the following steps to install your Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter in the PC mainboard. Step 1. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer that is aligned with the PCI-X slot you have selected. Save the bracket screw. Step 2. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into the PCI-X slot, as shown in Figure 2.2. Figure 2.2 Inserting the Host Adapter Bracket Screw 32-bit Slots 64-bit Slots Step 3.
Step 4. Be sure to tighten the bracket screw into the bracket securely before you connect the internal and external SCSI devices. 2.2 SCSI Device Cables For reliable Ultra320 operation, be sure to use an Ultra320 rated SCSI cable. The Ultra320 SCSI cable also has built-in low voltage differential and single-ended termination. This built-in feature is included because most Ultra320 SCSI hard disk drives are not made with on-board low voltage differential termination. 2.2.
2.2.2 External SCSI Cable You can connect all external SCSI devices to the host adapter with shielded cables. You will need one 68-pin very high density cable for each device. Figure 2.5 shows an example of an external SCSI cable. Figure 2.5 SCSI Cable - 68-pin VHDCI SCSI Device Cables Copyright © 2002 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.
2.3 Connecting SCSI Devices This section explains how to connect internal and external SCSI devices to the Ultra320 SCSI host adapters. 2.3.1 Connecting Internal SCSI Devices This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting internal SCSI devices. The figures show the LSI22320 host adapter, which has two internal connectors and two external connectors. Other Ultra320 SCSI host adapter models have different numbers of connectors. Refer to Section 2.2.
a Step 2. Plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into the SCSI connector on the internal SCSI device. Figure 2.7 shows how to do this. Figure 2.7 Connecting Multiple Internal SCSI Devices Step 3. If you have another internal SCSI device, connect the internal SCSI ribbon cable to it. Figure 2.7 shows how to do this. You can connect other devices if the cable has more connectors.
“Terminating the SCSI Bus,” page 2-11 for more information about SCSI bus termination. 2.3.2 Connecting the LED Cable Most computer cabinets have a front panel LED. When properly connected, the front panel LED lights when there is activity on the SCSI bus. Connect the LED cable to connector J5 on the host adapter, as shown in Figure 2.8. Connector J5 is not keyed. Figure 2.8 SCSI LED Connector .
2.3.3 Connecting External SCSI Devices This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting external SCSI devices. Refer to Section 2.2.2, “External SCSI Cable,” page 2-5 for examples of external cables. Step 1. Plug the 68-pin VHDCI connector on one end of a shielded external high density cable into the host adapter’s external SCSI connector. This connector is exposed on the back panel of your computer. Step 2.
Step 3. Connect any additional SCSI devices to one another with shielded external SCSI cables. You will need a separate SCSI cable for each additional device. Figure 2.10 shows how to connect multiple external SCSI devices. Figure 2.10 Connecting Multiple External SCSI Devices Enable termination on the device at the end of the bus. Disable termination on all devices not at the end of the bus. Host Adapter Automatically Terminated Step 4.
2.4 Terminating the SCSI Bus The SCSI bus contains all the devices that you connect with SCSI cables. When you connect the first and last physical SCSI devices on the ends of the SCSI bus, you must have termination active. You must remove or disable termination on all other SCSI devices on the same bus. If you connected only internal SCSI devices on a bus, the host adapter automatically terminates itself. If you connected only external SCSI devices on a bus, the host adapter also terminates automatically.
2.5 Setting SCSI IDs SCSI IDs identify each SCSI device on the SCSI bus. Each SCSI ID on a given bus must be unique. The IDs are 0 through 15 for a 16-bit bus. The preset host adapter ID setting is 7 which gives the highest priority to the host adapter. If you plan to boot your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive, you must assign SCSI ID 0 to the drive. Normally, you do not change the host adapter SCSI ID setting from its default value.
2.6 Completing the Installation Before replacing the cover on your computer, complete the checklist as shown in Table 2.2. Table 2.
