    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.

    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.
  • Page 56: Connecting Internal And External Devices

    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.
  • Page 57 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.
  • Page 58: External Scsi Device Connections

    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.
