The BI-0316 offers a full line of mass-storage subsystems that covers a variety of configurations with corresponding performance, capacities, and prices. For detailed information about the mounted drives on the BI-0316 see “Drive 1 Manual” on page F-1 and “Drive 2 Manual” on page G-1. For detailed information about the SCSI standards or the software needed to operate SCSI based products see Table 1-2, “Related Documents”...
General Information BI-0316 The drives on the BI-0316 are accessible via the 68 pin high density connector on the front or via the SCSI bus signals which are available at the User Defined VMEbus P2 connector pins. A host VMEbus module normally connects to the BI-0316 using a P-Cable at the front or by using a 68 (SCSI-3) or 50 (SCSI-2) wire flatcable at the rear of the module.
The BI-0316 offers up to two drives, both with a full implementation of the SCSI bus on a single VME- bus compatible module. Both drives have their own address on the SCSI bus and therefore operate independently of each other.

“BI-0316 Block Diagram” on page A-1 and the schematics are shown in “Schematic Diagrams” on page B-1. Position Numbering The BI-0316 holds up to two drives that are further referred to as drive 1 in position 1 and drive 2 in position 2. Position Numbering Figure 2-1 This numbering scheme is used for identification of the devices and their position on the BI-0316.
Single-Ended and Differential devices are electrically incompatible and can not be mixed on the same physical bus. When the BI-0316 contains Single-Ended drives it can be used in a Single-Ended SCSI bus. When the BI-0316 contains Differential drives it can be used in a Differential SCSI bus.
The BI-0316 supports the P-cable option of the SCSI-3 standard. SCSI Bus Connection Options The BI-0316 can be connected to a SCSI bus initiator through the front or via the backplane connector. When the host is connected to the front connector, the backplane connector can be used to terminate or daisy-chain the SCSI bus signals.
SCSI-3 Daisy-Chain Option Figure 2-2 This setup connects the BI-0316 to a 16-bit (WIDE) Single-Ended or Differential SCSI bus. Note that if either the cable at the front or at the rear connector is not inserted, termination must be applied to this connector.
Functional Description This setup connects the BI-0316 to a 16-bit (WIDE) bus at the front and a 8-bit bus at the rear of the module. Note that the upper byte signals must be terminated on the 16-bit to 8-bit adapter. This is achieved by the on-board terminators of the BI-0318 module.
Option I - Transition Module Figure 2-4 The BI-0318 and BI-0319 are modules that fit on the VMEbus P2 connector of the BI-0316. They route the SCSI signals of the VMEbus P2 connector to standard SCSI-2 and SCSI-3 connectors. The BI-0318 and BI-0319 serve several functions: •...
A 64-wire flatcable connects corresponding pins on the VMEbus P2 connectors of the host module and the BI-0316. The VMEbus P2 pin assignments of the BI-0316 are given in Table E-3, “VMEbus P2 Assignments (Differential)” on page E-3 and Table E-3, “VMEbus P2 Assignments (Differential)” on page E-3.
A backplane is constructed which connects corresponding User Defined pins on the VMEbus P2 con- nectors of the host module and the BI-0316. The VMEbus P2 pin assignments of the BI-0316 are given in Table E-3, “VMEbus P2 Assignments (Differential)” on page E-3 and Table E-3, “VMEbus P2 Assign- ments (Differential)”...
Installation Procedures Chapter 3 Introduction This chapter provides the preparation and installation instructions for the BI-0316 module. SCSI Bus ID Selection A SCSI bus supports 8, 16 or 32 devices depending on the cable width used. Each device must have an unique SCSI ID assigned.
Internal Termination When the BI-0316 is at the physical end of the SCSI cable, the internal termination option of the mounted drives can be used. When this option is put to use be sure to enable the terminators on drive 1 in position 1 when a front connection is used.
(Single-Ended or Differential) set of terminators. See also the section “SCSI-3 Mixed With SCSI-2 Option” on page 2-4. When a SCSI-3 cable is connected to the front of the BI-0316 which has to be connected to a 8-bit device, the following products are available to provide proper termination.
VMEbus backplane give access to the SCSI bus signals through the P2 connector • In addition to the Ground pins two power supply connections are used by the BI-0316: +5Vdc and +12Vdc. 3.5.1...
Choose the SCSI IDs and termination options for the drives on the BI-0316. Adjust switch settings and/or termination options when necessary. Choose a position for the BI-0316 in the VMEbus rack. Placing the BI-0316 in the last (righter most) position has several advantages: a) It eases the bus request and interrupt daisy-chaining in the case that the backplane does not pro- vide Automatic-Daisy-Chaining (ADC).

On the schematics that follow, the signal names are not the standard SCSI names. These internal names are used to allow the BI-0316 to function in a Single-Ended as well as a Differential bus. Although the signal naming is not standard, the electrical signals and the pin numbers of the physical connectors are conform the SCSI standards.
