- Page 2 NTRODUCTION The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 enables you to connect up to 15 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and/or 15 Single-Ended (SE) SCSI devices—such as very large arrays of high-performance hard disk drives, external storage subsystems, Ultra320/160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel-based computer with 64- or 32-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slots.
- Page 3 Locate an unused 64-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slot and remove the expansion slot cover. If the computer does not have a 64-bit slot, you can install the card in a 32-bit PCI slot. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 supports both 5V and 3.3V 64-bit slots. (The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev.

29320 in a PCI slot. Some 32-bit slots will not accommodate it, and the card may break if you force it into the slot. Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 in the 64-bit (or 32-bit) PCI or PCI-X expansion slot; press down firmly until the card clicks into place, then replace the slot cover screw. -
Page 5: Check The Scsi Ids
No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the same SCSI ID. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 is preset to ID 7 for each channel and should not be changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the hard disk SCSI ID is set to 0. - Page 6 Internal LVD cables usually have a terminator built into the end of the cable. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 has one internal 68-pin LVD/SE connector and two internal SE connectors to which you can connect internal SCSI devices, as shown in the figure on page 1.
- Page 7 Plug the internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the other cable connectors, starting with the connector at the terminated end of the cable. Plug first device to this connector Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices come from the factory with termination disabled and cannot be changed.
- Page 8 Plug one end of the cable to the Wide SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320. Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI device. If you have other Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI devices, attach them to the connectors between the two ends of the cable.

Page 9: Connecting External Scsi Devices
We recommend that you do not combine legacy SCSI devices with the Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320. Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices: Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to the external Ultra320/160 connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320. - Page 10 Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the back of an external device. If you are installing only one external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 4. Connect the other external SCSI devices by linking each device to the previous one, as shown below.

Page 11: Troubleshooting
If you use a single-ended, active terminator (sometimes called an Ultra terminator) the SCSI devices will not operate properly. ROUBLESHOOTING If you have any problems while installing the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320, check the following items first: • Are all SCSI devices powered on? •... - Page 12 Adaptec SCSI Card 29320. Preloaded Adaptec Drivers If the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320 was included as part of a computer system you purchased, the system already has the appropriate Adaptec driver preinstalled by the computer manufacturer.
