Logic Use's Guide Network Adapter LSI8751D

2-2 Installing the LSI8751D

Step 7. Connect the internal and external SCSI peripherals.

Optional: Connect the LED cable on your SCSI host adapter.

Step 8. Terminate the SCSI bus.

The SCSI bus requires proper termination and no duplicate

SCSI IDs.

Step 9. Set the peripheral SCSI IDs.

Step 10. Make any conﬁguration changes.

Step 11. Replace your PC cabinet cover.

Step 12. Plug in your computer and peripherals.

Step 13. Turn on the peripherals, and then your computer.

The host adapter installation is complete.

Refer to the PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s

Guide (or the guide for the software you will use) to load the driver

software for your particular operating system. Additionally, this guide

contains documentation about the SCSI BIOS Conﬁguration Utility, which

provides a means to change system conﬁguration.

2.2 Detailed Installation Procedure

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the

LSI8751D and connecting it to your SCSI peripherals. If you are

experienced in these tasks, you may prefer to use the instructions in the

preceding Section 2.1, “Quick Installation Procedure.”

2.2.1 Before You Start

Before starting, read through the steps deﬁned within the detailed

installation procedure. If you are not conﬁdent that you can perform the

tasks as described in this section, LSI Logic suggests getting assistance.

The SCSI host adapter acts on your computer’s behalf as the host to

your suite of SCSI peripherals. Each chain of SCSI peripheral devices

and their host adapter work together and are referred to as a SCSI bus.

Each channel on your SCSI host adapter can act as host for up to

15 peripheral devices, not including the adapter itself.
