Preface This document is the user’s guide for tru LSI Logic ITI8000 Series CompactPCI Multifunction Adapters User’s Guide. It provides instructions for installing this multifunction adapter and describes the various Ultra2 SCSI, Ethernet, and Video functions associated with the ITI8000 adapters.
Chapter 1 Installing the ITI8000 Series CompactPCI Adapters This chapter provides installation instructions for the LSI Logic ITI8000 ® Series CompactPCI multifunction adapters and the associated device drivers. It includes these topics: • Section 1.1, “General Description,” page 1-1 •...
CompactPCI Adapter with one Video Port. Table 1.2 lists the variations that are available for the adapters above. The variations can be combined when applicable. For more information about these available options, contact the LSI Logic technical support team at http://www.lsilogic.com. Table 1.2 Available Options...
Solaris 2.6 and above OpenBoot PROM (OBP) Release 3.0 or later LSI Logic provides software device drivers that take full advantage of the embedded RISC SCRIPTS multiport SCSI controller to minimize system overhead and maximize data throughput. Four integrated Fast Ethernet ports provide high performance network connectivity with full compatibility with the Sun Microsystems Solaris SPARC QFE driver.
Network Boot Server SPARC or Intel Solaris boot server Firmware OpenBoot PROM Version 3.0 or greater 1. Only required if you are using the LSI Logic module to support your System disk. To install all the ITI8000 adapters, follow these steps: Step 1.
LSI Logic single interrupt scripts. The ITHPS driver supports the ITI8200 adapters that have the LSI53C896 controller. The ITSPS driver is for another LSI Logic Ultra2 SCSI controller and its associated host adapters. The ITSPS and ITHPS device drivers are bundled together and included in your host adapter kit.
1.4.3 Floppy Disk Install To install the LSI Logic ITHPS driver to an existing Solaris system, you must be logged into the root directory on your Solaris system. If you received the ITHPS driver on a floppy diskette, follow these steps: Step 1.
ITI8000 CompactPCI Ultra2 SCSI adapters for the system disk. The method described in this section allows you to install the LSI Logic ITHPS driver onto a network boot kit, which makes it available during the Solaris SPARC installation script.
Your Sun machine will prompt you to allow power saving automatic shutdown. You must answer No to this question if you are using the LSI Logic CompactPCI adapter to support your boot disk. If you change the disk drive configuration of your machine,...

If you connect an LSI Logic CompactPCI adapter to a Link Partner in which autonegotiation protocol is not operational, you can configure the device to not use this protocol. This forces the driver to set up the link in the mode and speed of your choice.
Checks connectivity during adapter card installation • Verifies that all components are functional To help identify problems when the system containing the LSI Logic ITI8241C-S adapter does not boot, follow these steps: Step 1. Type at the ok prompt: ok setenv diag-switch? true ok test <device-path>...
Correct installation of your adapter requires that you first understand the basic rules of the SCSI bus and correctly configure the termination. The configuration is based on the position of the LSI Logic CompactPCI adapter on the bus. In order for a SCSI bus to operate, it must be electrically terminated at both ends.
3.1.2 Identifying the SCSI Disks The probe-scsi-all command identifies the SCSI devices on your LSI Logic adapter. To identify your SCSI disks, type at the ok prompt: ok probe-scsi-all The system displays information similar to this:...

If you want to have the module in the middle of the SCSI bus, LSI Logic recommends that you use the external connector (of the desired bus) on Configuring SCSI Devices Rev.
Rear Transition Module. This does not degrade the SCSI bus performance. QUICK CHECK: If the TERM LED is on, the ITI8000 Series adapter is terminating the bus. If you are using the “Y” configuration as described above, the termination LED must be set to off.
Step 1. Set the device to a unique SCSI ID (0–6 or 8–15). The host adapter default is SCSI ID 7. Step 2. Plug the unterminated end of the SCSI cable into the LSI Logic CompactPCI adapter, making sure pin 1 (usually marked on the cable with a red stripe), corresponds to pin 1 on the connector.

3.4.1.2 Attaching SE Devices You can use the LSI Logic internal cable (50-401030) to attach internal SE disks to the ITI8241C-R rear I/O module. Note that placing any non- LVD drives on a bus causes the entire bus to run in SE mode, and reduces the maximum I/O throughput from 80 Mbytes/s to 40 Mbytes/s.
For Ultra2 SCSI running in LVD mode, the cable must be kept within 12 meters for multidrop connections or 25 meters point to point. For Ultra2 SCSI in SE mode, LSI Logic recommends that the total bus (cable + module etch) length be kept to 1.5 meters.
You can trace most problems encountered during the initial installation of a SCSI system to improper or low quality cabling and termination. LSI Logic carries a complete line of high quality SCSI cables, which you can order to meet the requirements of your configuration.
You must use the LSI Logic LVD differential cable and the LVD/SE 68-pin connector to connect all your internal LVD peripherals. The cable has a built-in terminator at the drive end. The ITI8000 Series adapter terminates the controller end. Figure 3.1 illustrates how to connect internal devices.
