ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 1 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM INTRODUCTION The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 enables you to connect up to 15 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and/or 15 Single-Ended (SE) SCSI devices—such as very large arrays of high-performance hard disk drives, external storage subsystems, Ultra320/160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel-based computer with 64- or 32-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slots.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 2 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM INSTALLING THE ADAPTEC SCSI CARD 29320 STEP 1 Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling your SCSI card by touching a grounded metal object (like the exposed metal parts on the back of your computer). WARNING Turn OFF power to the computer and disconnect the power cord. STEP 2 STEP 3 After you turn off your computer and unplug the power cord, remove the cover from the computer.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 3 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM Computers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots. Refer to your computer manual to locate the PCI/PCI-X slots. If your computer is a tower model, lay it on its side to allow for easier installation of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320. WARNING Be careful when inserting the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 in a PCI slot. Some 32-bit slots will not accommodate it, and the card may break if you force it into the slot.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 4 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM Check the SCSI IDs The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 and each device you connect to it must have a unique SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15 on each channel. No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the same SCSI ID. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 is preset to ID 7 for each channel and should not be changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the hard disk SCSI ID is set to 0. (Most SCSI hard disks are preset to SCSI ID 0 at the factory.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 5 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM cables are laminated so that they lay flat. Internal LVD cables usually have a terminator built into the end of the cable. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 has one internal 68-pin LVD/SE connector and two internal SE connectors to which you can connect internal SCSI devices, as shown in the figure on page 1. NOTE Adaptec recommends that you keep your Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices separate from your Ultra SCSI devices.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 6 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM STEP 3 Plug the internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the other cable connectors, starting with the connector at the terminated end of the cable. Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices Plug first device to this connector Built-in terminator on cable NOTE Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices come from the factory with termination disabled and cannot be changed.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 7 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM STEP 2 Plug one end of the cable to the Wide SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320. STEP 3 Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI device. STEP 4 If you have other Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI devices, attach them to the connectors between the two ends of the cable. Be sure these other devices are un-terminated. STEP 5 Connect a power cable from your computer’s internal power supply to each internal device.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 8 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM STEP 3 Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI device. STEP 4 If you have other Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI devices, attach them to the connectors between the two ends of the cable. Be sure these other devices are un-terminated. STEP 5 Connect a power cable from your computer’s internal power supply to each internal device.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 9 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM STEP 2 Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the back of an external device. If you are installing only one external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 4. 4 SCSI terminator 4 STEP 3 Connect the other external SCSI devices by linking each device to the previous one, as shown below. Terminate only the device at the end of the chain.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 10 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TERMINATION The last SCSI device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be terminated, and termination must be disabled for all other devices in the middle of the cables. Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices are automatically unterminated, but Ultra SCSI and Fast/Wide SCSI devices do have termination that you must check. For more information, refer to the documentation for each SCSI device.
ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 11 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM ADAPTEC SCSI CARD DRIVER SOFTWARE NOTE To use the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320, driver software must be installed for your operating system. Installation of the driver software varies depending on how and where you purchased the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320.
