  • Page 40: Understanding Scsi

    Introduction Understanding SCSI SCSI (pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer Systems Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting SCSI devices (such as a hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or scanner) to a common SCSI bus. A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI adapter card (such as the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP) installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices.

  • Page 41: Terminating The Scsi Bus

    IBM Ultra320 SCSI Controller 2 User’s Guide If you have 8-bit (or Narrow) SCSI devices, they must use SCSI IDs 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. SCSI ID 0 is recommended for the first SCSI hard disk drive.
  • Page 42 Introduction Termination on SE internal SCSI devices is usually controlled by manually setting a jumper or a switch on the device, or by physically removing or installing one or more resistor modules on the device. Termination on most external SCSI devices is controlled by installing or removing a SCSI terminator.

  • Page 44: Using Scsi Devices

    IBM Ultra320 SCSI Controller 2 User’s Guide Using SCSI Devices Using SCSI Hard Disk Drives If you connect a SCSI hard disk drive to an Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP that was previously connected to a different SCSI card, it is recommended that you low-level format the drive before you can use it.

  • Page 45: Using Ultra320/160 Hard Disk Drives

    Using the Adaptec SCSI Card and SCSI Devices Using Ultra320/160 Hard Disk Drives We recommend keeping your LVD (Ultra 320, Ultra160 and Ultra2) SCSI devices separate from your non-LVD SCSI devices. If you combine LVD and non-LVD SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel, the data transfer rate of the LVD SCSI devices will drop down to non-LVD SCSI performance levels of up to 40 MB/sec.

  • Page 48: Connecting The Led Connector

    IBM Ultra320 SCSI Controller 2 User’s Guide If you have two or more SCSI cards, you can choose which SCSI card is found first by your system by physically changing the order of the SCSI cards in the PCI slots. Your system scans the PCI slots in a set order.

  • Page 49: Overriding Scsi Termination Settings

    Using the Adaptec SCSI Card and SCSI Devices Overriding SCSI Termination Settings You use SCSISelect to control the termination of the SCSI channel on an Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP. The default termination setting for the channel is Automatic. This setting allows the SCSI card to adjust SCSI termination automatically, depending on which connectors have SCSI devices attached to them.

  • Page 50: Connecting Scsi Devices

    IBM Ultra320 SCSI Controller 2 User’s Guide You might want to manually terminate the SCSI card if an Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP is connected to one or more external SCSI devices that are also connected to a SCSI card in another computer.
