NTRODUCTION The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D 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.

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 39320D and that you connect newer Ultra320/160 SCSI and Ultra2 devices to the other channel. This allows the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D to dedicate...

Locate an unused 64-bit PCI 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 39320D supports both 5V and 3.3V 64-bit slots. (The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev.
Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D 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.
The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D 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. (Most SCSI hard disks are preset to SCSI ID 0 at the factory.) The SCSI IDs for internal...

The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D has two separate Ultra320/160 SCSI channels, as shown in the figure on page 1. Channel A has an internal LVD/SE connector to which you can connect internal SCSI devices. Adaptec recommends that you keep your Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on a separate SCSI channel from your Ultra SCSI devices.
68-pin VHDCI external LVD SCSI cable. 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 39320D. Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices Built-in terminator on cable...

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 39320D. 68-pin external LVD/VHDCI SCSI connector (Ch A) 68-pin external LVD/VHDCI SCSI...
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 39320D, check the following items first: • Are all SCSI devices powered on? •...
