LVD SCSI devices by electronically isolating the primary LVD/SE segment from the secondary SE segment on the SCSI bus. This allows the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 to support LVD SCSI devices at speeds up to 160 MBytes/sec on the primary LVD/SE segment while at the same time supporting Ultra (legacy) devices at speeds up to 40 MBytes/sec on the secondary SE segment.

29160 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 29160 into the PCI expansion slot; press down firmly until the card clicks into place, then replace the slot cover screw.
SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15. No two devices can have the same number. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be changed. If your computer will boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the SCSI ID of that hard disk is set to 0.
With this type of cable, it is not necessary to terminate individual internal Ultra160 and Ultra2 devices. If you are using external LVD devices, be sure to use an LVD terminator to terminate the last device in the chain.
SCSI D ONNECTING You can connect up to 15 SCSI devices to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160. Before connecting devices, be sure to review Setting Up SCSI Devices on page 7. For additional details on connecting devices, refer to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 User’s Reference.

Installation Guide Plug one end of the cable to the Wide SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160. 68-pin Internal Wide SCSI Cable 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.

Installation Guide Plug one end of the cable to the 50-pin internal SE Narrow SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160. Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI device. Terminated SCSI Device If you have other Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI devices, attach them to the connectors between the two ends of the cable.
Ultra SCSI devices, the data transfer speed of the LVD SCSI devices will drop to the speed of the older devices. (See Bus Segments on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160 on page 4.) Follow these steps to connect the external devices: Connect one end of the external LVD SCSI cable to the external LVD/SE connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160.
Page 16
Installation Guide Connect the other end of the external SCSI cable to a SCSI connector on the back of an external SCSI device. If you are installing only one external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 4. An LVD terminator must be used for LVD SCSI devices to ensure optimum performance.

Connect power cables to all external devices and to the computer. SCSI C DAPTEC To use the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160, the card’s driver software must be installed for your operating system (for example, ® Windows Ultra160 Family Manager Set contains driver software for many of the popular operating systems.
