- Page 2 Introduction The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A enables you to connect up to 30 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 If you have single-ended Ultra SCSI and earlier SCSI devices, Adaptec recommends that you connect them together on one channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A and that you connect newer Ultra320/160 SCSI and Ultra2 devices to the other channel.
- Page 4 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 39320A supports both 5V and 3.3V 64-bit slots. (The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev.

Page 5: Setting Up Scsi Devices
Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A 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. When installed properly, the card should appear level with the expansion slot, as shown below. -
Page 6: Connecting Scsi Devices
No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the same SCSI ID. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A 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 7 Internal LVD cables usually have a terminator built into the end of the cable. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A has two separate Ultra320/160 SCSI channels, as shown in the figure on page 1. Both channels have an internal LVD/SE connector to which you can connect internal SCSI devices.
- Page 8 Plug the nonterminated end of the cable(s) to one of the internal LVD/SE connectors. 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.

- Page 9 Note: We recommend that you do not combine older SCSI devices with the newer Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A. Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices: Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to one of the external Ultra320/160 connectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320A.
- Page 10 Connect the other external SCSI devices by linking each device to the previous one, as shown below. Terminate only the device at the end of the chain. Connect power cables to all external device(s) and to the computer. More Information About Termination The last SCSI device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be terminated, and termination must be disabled for all other devices in the middle of the cables.
