NTRODUCTION

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.

The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 has one internal and one external

68-pin LVD/SE connector and two internal SE SCSI connectors

(one 68-pin and one 50-pin).

Although the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 is a 64-bit PCI/PCI-X card, it also works in a 32-bit PCI slot. When installed in a 32-bit

PCI slot, the card automatically runs in the slower 32-bit mode.

This installation guide explains how to:

• Install the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320

• Set up SCSI devices

• Connect SCSI devices

N OTE

If you connect Wide Ultra/Ultra SCSI devices to the same SCSI connectors as Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices, the data transfer rate for the Ultra320/160 and Ultra2

SCSI devices will drop to Ultra SCSI performance levels.

Attach only Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the

LVD/SE connectors to achieve maximum data transfer rates.

S TEP 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).

W ARNING

Turn OFF power to the computer and disconnect the power cord.

S TEP 2

After you turn off your computer and unplug the power cord, remove the cover from the computer.

S TEP 3

Locate an unused 64-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slot and remove the expansion slot cover. If the computer does not have a 64-bit slot, you can install the card in a 32-bit PCI slot. The Adaptec

SCSI Card 29320 supports both 5V and 3.3V 64-bit slots. (The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev. 2.1 or PCI-X

Rev. 1.0 and must support Bus Mastering.) Save the slot cover screw for use in Step 4.

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.

W ARNING

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.

Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 in the 64-bit (or 32-bit) PCI or

PCI-X expansion slot; press down firmly until the card clicks into place, then replace the slot cover screw. When installed properly, the card should appear level with the expansion slot, as shown below.

EVICES

There are several things you may need to do to your SCSI devices before you connect them to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320:

• Check the SCSI IDs

• Set the termination

• Connect the power cables

Since setup can vary from device to device, always refer to the device’s documentation for specific instructions.

Below are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination on your devices.

3

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.) The SCSI IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers; SCSI IDs for external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the device.

Terminate the Ends

To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the device at the end of each cable, or the end of the cable itself, must have a terminator installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or termination must be disabled, on devices between the ends of each cable.

N OTE

When connecting Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices, the SCSI bus must be terminated either on the end of the cable

(with a permanent terminator) or with a separate terminating connector. Ultra SCSI and earlier single-ended devices can terminate the bus directly from the device. If you use an Ultra

SCSI terminator on an LVD Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI bus, the SCSI devices will not operate properly. For this reason be sure that you have the necessary Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 cable and terminator before installing the Ultra320/160 SCSI devices.

EVICES

You can connect a total of up to 15 LVD and/or 15 SE SCSI devices to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320. Before connecting

devices, be sure to review Setting Up SCSI Devices on page 3.

Connecting Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 Devices

A special 68-pin internal LVD cable is needed to connect internal

Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices. If your cables are not marked, you can identify most LVD cables as having twisted pairs of the flat ribbon cable between the device connectors. Some

4

ASC-29320 IG.fm Page 5 Wednesday, August 14, 2002 2:00 PM

S TEP 1 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.

N OTE Adaptec recommends that you keep your Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices separate from your Ultra SCSI devices. This allows the Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to transfer data at their maximum speed.

Follow these steps to connect your internal Ultra320/160 and

Ultra2 devices:

Locate a 68-pin internal LVD SCSI cable, which may have either twisted wires or flat wires, shown as follows.

N OTE Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices come from the factory with termination disabled and cannot be changed. Proper termination is provided by the terminator at the end of the LVD SCSI cable.

Connect a power cable from your computer’s internal power supply to each internal SCSI device.

Connecting Wide SCSI Devices

Connect internal Wide SCSI devices to the 68-pin internal SE

Wide SCSI connector. To do this, use a 68-pin Wide SCSI cable like the one shown in Step 1 below. Follow these steps to connect the devices:

Locate a 68-pin internal Wide SCSI cable.

SCSI device.

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.

Connect a power cable from your computer’s internal power supply to each internal device.

Connecting Internal Ultra/Fast Narrow Devices

Connect internal Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI devices that have standard 50-pin connectors to the 50-pin internal SE Narrow

SCSI connector. To do this, use a 50-pin internal Ultra Narrow

SCSI cable. Follow these steps to connect the devices:

Locate a 50-pin internal Ultra Narrow SCSI cable.

Connect a power cable from your computer’s internal power supply to each internal device.

Connecting External SCSI Devices

You can connect external Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the 68-pin external LVD/SE SCSI connector. Each external device will require a 68-pin external LVD SCSI cable.

N OTE

We recommend that you do not combine legacy SCSI devices with the Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320.

Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices:

Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to the external

Ultra320/160 connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320.

ERMINATION

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.

If you are using external Ultra2 or Ultra320/160 devices, be sure to use an LVD terminator to terminate the last device in the chain.

If you use a single-ended, active terminator (sometimes called an

Ultra terminator) the SCSI devices will not operate properly.

T

ROUBLESHOOTING

If you have any problems while installing the Adaptec SCSI Card

29320, check the following items first:

• Are all SCSI devices powered on?

• Are all SCSI cables and power cables properly connected?

• Does each device on each SCSI bus have a unique SCSI ID?

• Does the total SCSI cable length exceed the maximum allowable length?

• Is the SCSI bus properly terminated?

If you are still unable to resolve a problem, contact the system manufacturer for help.
