NTRODUCTION
The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 Ultra160 SCSI controller enables
you to connect up to 15 SCSI devices—such as hard disk drives,
scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel-based computer
with 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slots. You can connect newer
Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the two 68-pin Low Voltage
Differential/Single-Ended (LVD/SE) connectors. You can also
connect legacy SCSI devices to the 68-pin and 50-pin internal
Single-Ended (SE) connectors.
68-pin External LVD/SE
Connector
Although the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is a 64-bit PCI 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.

  • Page 1 Connector 50-pin Internal SE Connector Although the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is a 64-bit PCI 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.
  • Page 2 Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices by electronically isolating the primary LVD/SE segment from the secondary SE segment on the SCSI bus. This allows the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 to support newer Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices at speeds up to 160 MBytes/sec on the primary LVD/SE segment while at the same time supporting Ultra (legacy) devices at speeds up to 40 MBytes/sec.

    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. Refer to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 User’s Ref- erence for more information on these topics.

  • Page 5: Terminate The Ends

    SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15. No two devices can have the same number. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be changed. If your computer will boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the SCSI ID of that hard disk is set to 0.
  • Page 6 Locate a 68-pin internal LVD SCSI cable, which may have either twisted wires as shown below or flat, laminated wires. Non-terminated end Terminated end Plug the non-terminated end of the cable to the internal LVD/SE connector. Plug the internal Ultra2 or Ultra160 SCSI devices to the other cable connectors, starting with the connector at the terminated end of the cable.
  • Page 7 Locate a 68-pin internal Wide SCSI cable. Plug one end of the cable to the Wide SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160. Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI device.
  • Page 8 Locate a 50-pin internal Ultra Narrow SCSI cable. Plug one end of the cable to the 50-pin internal SE Narrow SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160. Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI device.

    Ultra SCSI devices, the data transfer speed of the Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices will drop to the speed of the older devices. (See Bus Segments on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 on page 2.) Follow these steps to connect the external devices: Connect one end of the external LVD SCSI cable to the external LVD/SE connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160.
  • Page 10 Connect other external devices by cabling each device to the pre- vious one, as shown below. Terminate only the device at the end of the chain. Not terminated Terminated Connect power cables to all external devices and to the computer.
