Note:
When installing the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320LP into a low profile PCI slot, you will need to remove the high-profile bracket and replace it with the low profile bracket provided.
To remove the high-profile bracket, remove the small screws on either side of the external 68-pin VHDCI connector. Slide off the high-profile bracket and replace it with the low-profile bracket. Then replace and tighten the screws on either side of the external 68-pin VHDCI connector. Be sure the tapered end of the low profile bracket is facing the same direction as the gold fingers on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320LP.

Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320LP 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.
Setting Up SCSI Devices
There are several things you may need to do to your SCSI devices before you connect them to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320LP:
■
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.
Following are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination on your devices.
Check the SCSI IDs
The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320LP 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 29320LP 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.
Note:
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.
