1 Introduction The HP Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI Host Bus Adapter (HBA) G2 contains one independent low-voltage differential SCSI (LVDS) channel that interfaces directly between the server PCI or PCI-X local bus and up to 15 SCSI devices. The adapter supports industrystandard interfaces and protocols. The Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 can be used with all SCSI devices, including Ultra320 SCSI, Ultra160 SCSI, Ultra2 SCSI, and Ultra SCSI.
Introduction PCI/PCI-X Features • PCI-X 1.0 and PCI 2.2 compliance • PCI-X compatibility with 32- and 64-bit, 50–133 MHz slots • PCI compatibility with 32- and 64-bit 5-V/33-MHz and 3.
Introduction SCSI Connectors The Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 has the following connectors: Figure 1-1: Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 Item Description 1 External VHDCI connectors 2 Internal wide SCSI connector The external connector is standard VHDCI connectors and mounted on the slot panel and accessible through the back of the server. Screwlocks are provided on the external SCSI cables to secure them to the VHDCI connectors.
Introduction Multiple Adapter Installation The following considerations apply when you install more than one Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2: • Each adapter has one independent SCSI channel that supports up to 15 devices. • Each SCSI channel has its own set of unique SCSI IDs (from 6 to 0, 15 to 8). Each peripheral on a bus must be assigned its own unique ID. SCSI Termination All SCSI buses require termination on both ends of the bus to prevent signal degradation.
Introduction SCSI Cables Cables are provided with most HP server products that require cabling. If additional cables are needed or the correct one was not provided with the server product, they can be ordered from an authorized HP reseller or authorized HP Service Provider. Refer to Table 1-1 for cable option kit part numbers.

2 Installing the Hardware This chapter discusses the installation of the HP Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 in an HP server. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels, only authorized service technicians should attempt to install this equipment. Consult the safety information and user documentation provided with the computer before attempting this installation.
Installing the Hardware Opening the Server Before installing the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2, open the server and gain access to the PCI/PCI-X bus expansion slots. For instructions on opening the server and accessing the PCI/PCI-X slots, refer to the documentation that came with the server. After the PCI/PCI-X slots have been accessed, proceed to the next section, “Installing the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2.
Installing the Hardware External SCSI Connections To connect the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 to SCSI devices located outside the server, you need one external SCSI cable for each channel to which it is connected. Figure 2-1: External SCSI cabling on an HP server Item Description 1 VHDCI-VHDCI cable 2 External VHDCI-to-narrow SCSI cable 3 External VHDCI-to-Wide SCSI cable To connect to an Ultra320 or an Ultra160 SCSI peripheral, use a VHDCI-VHDCI cable.
Installing the Hardware Internal SCSI Connections Use the information in this section to connect the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 to internal SCSI devices.
Installing the Hardware Connecting Additional Internal SCSI Devices Use the following guidelines to connect new SCSI devices to the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2. To perform this procedure, an additional SCSI cable is needed for each type of device that is connecting to the Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2. 1. Install the additional SCSI devices in the server. Refer to the documentation provided with the system for specific installation instructions. 2.
3 Installing the Firmware and Software After the HP Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI HBA G2 has been installed in the server, complete the installation by upgrading the system ROM (if necessary) and installing the new drivers for the operating system. Follow the procedures outlined in the Support Software documentation included in the kit.
