Page 113: Chapter 7 Scsi Setup And Configurations
SCSI Setup and Configurations The PCA-6277 features an onboard SCSI interface. This chapter provides basic SCSI concepts and instructions for installing the software drivers with the SCSI driver disks/CD included in your package.
Page 114: Introduction
Introduction The PCA-6277 is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7892 single-chip PCI- to-SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful Ultra 160 multitasking interface between your computer’ s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.).
Page 115: Scsi Ids
be assigned to the SCSI interface and each SCSI device connected to it, and the SCSI bus must be properly terminated. SCSI IDs Each device attached to the AIC-7892, as well as the AIC-7892 itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the same time.
Page 116: Terminating The Scsi Bus
SCSISelect utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the deveice from which you are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0. We recommend that you do not change this setting. • © In Windows 95/98, you can use the Device Manager to determine which SCSI ID is assigner to each installed SCSI device.
Page 117: Configuring The Scsi Interface With Scsiselect
By default, termination on the AIC-7892 itself is set to Automatic (the preferred method). We recommend that you do not change this default setting. Configuring the SCSI interface with SCSI Select SCSISelect, included with the AIC-7892, enables you to change SCSI settings without operning the computer.
Page 118: Starting Scsiselect
SCSI Select Options Available Settings Default Setting SCSI Device Configuration: Sync Transfer Rate (MBytes/sec) 160, 80.0, 53.4, 40.0, 32.0, 26.8, 20.0, 16.0, 13.4, 10.0 ASYN Initiate Wide Negotiation Yes, No Yes (enabled) Enable Disconnection Yes, No Yes (enabled) Send Start Unit Command Yes, No Yes (enabled) Enable Write Back Cache...

Page 120 • Host Adapter SCSI Termination-(Default: Automatic) Determines the termination setting for the SCSI card. The default setting for both the LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended) connec tors and SE connectors is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the termination as needed depending on the finfiguration of the connected SCSI devices.
Page 121 • Enable Disconnection-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, allows the SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. Leave the setting at Yes if two or more SCSI device is connected, changing the setting to No results in slightly better performance. •...
Page 122 • Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte. This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not required for other operating systems, such as NetWare of UNIX.
Page 123: Using Scsi Disk Utilities
• Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks — (Default: Disabled) Determines which removable-media drives are supported by the SCSI card BIOS. Choices are as follows: • Disable d— No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives. Software drivers are required because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS.
Page 124: Installation Under Windows Nt/Windows 2000
3. A small menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk and Verify Disk Media. • Format Disk—Allows you to perform a low-level format on a hard disk drive. Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory and do not need to be formatted again. Caution: A low-level format destroys all data on the drive.

Page 159: Appendix A Programming The Watchdog Timer
Programming the Watchdog Timer The PCA-6277 is equipped with a watch- dog timer that resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if processing comes to a standstill for any reason. This feature ensures system reliability in industrial standalone or unmanned environments.
Page 160: Programming The Watchdog Timer
A.1 Programming the Watchdog Timer To program the watchdog timer, you must write a program which writes I/O port address 443 (hex). The output data is a time interval value. The value range is from 01 (hex) to 3F (hex), and the related time interval is 1 sec.
Page 161 After data entry, your program must refresh the watchdog timer by rewriting I/O port 443 (hex) while simultaneously setting it. When you want to disable the watchdog timer, your program should read I/O port 443 (hex). The following example shows how you might program the watchdog timer in BASIC: Watchdog timer example program OUT &H443, data REM...
