2. Setup 2.1 Before Connection Before installing this card and SCSI devices, you should understand the basic concept of the SCSI, which is described in this section. This information will help you set up this card and SCSI devices so that they function properly. SCSI ID numbers All SCSI devices attached to this card, as well as this card itself, must have a unique SCSI ID between 0 to 15.

In some internal SCSI devices, you cannot set the terminator without mounting or removing any resistor modules. ISCSI cables Since the cables that connect the SCSI devices are important components in ensuring stable operation, be sure to use Fujitsu products.
2.2 Connection Method WARNING When installing or removing this card, turn off the power of each device (SERVER and peripheral equipment), and remove the cord from the outlet. Otherwise, it causes an electrical shock. Notes ・ Connect the power cords to SERVER, peripheral equipment, and SCSI device after the installation of this card and connection to the SCSI device are completed.

Connection of external SCSI device 1) Up to 15 external SCSI devices can be connected to this card. 2) Turn off the power to the external SCSI devices to be connected and remove the power cord from the outlet. 3) Set up the SCSI IDs and the terminators of external SCSI devices. (Validate the terminator setting of external SCSI device that is connected at the end of SCSI cable.
3. Configuration 3.1 SERVER Configuration If SERVER does not recognize this card after this card has been installed, run the SERVER BIOS setup utility and check the PCI configuration parameters. Usually, you can do this by pressing specified key combinations when your SERVER is booting.
3.2 Activating and terminating the SCSISelect Utility Activation of the SCSISelect utility 1) While the following prompt is displayed at the SERVER bootup, press the [Ctrl] + [A] key to activate the SCSISelect utility. Adaptec AHA-2940U2W BIOS v*.*** (c)1999 Adaptec, Inc.All Rights Reserved. Press <Ctrl><A>...

2) When the setting value in the SCSISelect utility is changed, a message "Save Change Made?" is displayed. To save it, move the cursor to [Yes]. To abandon it, move the cursor to [No], press the [Enter] key, and press [Esc] key. (If the setting value is not changed, a message "Save Change Made?"...
3.3 SCSI Card Configuration (SCSISelect Utility) This card contains the SCSISelect utility in this card's memory. This utility can change this card settings without removing the SERVER cover or physically setting the card. SCSISelect utility contains a SCSI disk utilities that can perform low-level formatting and check the disk medium in a SCSI hard disk drive.
Advanced Configuration Options Default settings Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization Enabled Display <Ctrl-A> Message During BIOS Initialization Enabled Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte* Enabled Verbose/Silent Mode Verbose Host Adapter BIOS (Configuraiton Utility Reserves Enabled BIOS space) (To be set to "Disabled: scan bus"...

・ Boot SCSI ID This option allows you to specify which SCSI device you want to boot your SERVER from by using the SCSI ID. The default setting is 「0」. The SCSI ID selected here must correspond to the SCSI ID of the Boot Device. ・...
Page 41
・ Enable Write Back Cache This option allows you to specify whether to enable the Write Back Cache on SCSI device. The default setting is 「n/c」. Note Do not change this option from default setting 「n/c」. ・ BIOS Multiple LUN Support This option allows you to determine whether booting from SCSI devices having two or more LUNs should be supported.

The SCSI card standard translation scheme can be used up to a maximum capacity of 1 GB. This card contains an extended translation scheme that allows support of a disk drive with a capacity greater than 1 GB. Extended translation is used only with MS-DOS 5.0 or above. When this card is used for mirroring, this setting should be same as that of the SERVER.

− Disabled No removable-media drives are considered hard disk drives. Since these drives are not controlled in this situation, a software driver is required. Note When a removable-media SCSI device is controlled by Host Adapter BIOS, never remove the medium while the system is running. Doing so may result in the loss of data.
3.4 Configuring Two or More SCSI Cards You can use two or more SCSI channels by installing additional SCSI cards in the SERVER. Installation and setup are performed in the same way as when one SCSI card is installed. Some SERVER restrict the number of PCI bus slots available. When you use two or more SCSI cards for a SERVER, note the points below.
4. Troubleshooting 4.1 Checkpoints Most problems concerning the SCSI card occur during SCSI device connection or setup. If you have a problem while the card is in use, check these items first: ・ Are the SCSI cables and power cord properly connected? ・...

You can determine the cause of and solution for a problem from the indicated sense key information. The values and meanings of the sense keys displayed most frequently are given below. − 02h - Not ready Medium not ready for formatting. Check to see if the medium has been inserted into the drive and that it has spun up to speed.
4.2 BIOS Error Messages If Host Adapter BIOS is enabled, but cannot be initialized, the system displays an error message after the message "BIOS Installation Failure." Examples and meanings of these error messages are given below: Device connected, but not ready. This message is displayed if this card does not receive a response when this card requests data from an installed SCSI device.
4.3 Before Contacting Us When a problem cannot be resolved by following these checkpoints, contact the sales outlet where you purchased the product. To ensure quick support, make a list of the following items: − Detailed information about the failure and your actions immediately before the failure −...
