  • Page 9: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction The Compaq KZPEA adapter is a 64-bit/66 MHz PCI, dual-channel Ultra3 SCSI controller that interfaces directly with a Peripheral Component Interface (PCI) local bus. It supports both external Compaq StorageWorks or internal storage devices on AlphaServers and workstations, per LVD Ultra3 SCSI channels. The adapter supports no more than 15 SCSI drives per channel or 30 SCSI drives per adapter.

  • Page 10: Physical Description

    Physical Description The KZPEA adapter components are mounted on a 4-inch by 7-inch printed circuit board that is inserted in a PCI expansion slot on the host computer motherboard. Figure 1–1 KZPEA Adapter Wide Wide Channel B Channel A End View...

    Fast-SCSI-2 devices. The KZPEA adapter can support several different SCSI devices at one time. The KZPEA adapter interface to the server processor is the PCI local bus. The PCI bus is a high-performance, 64-bit bus with multiplexed address and data lines.

  • Page 14: Scsi Channel Assignments

    1.3.1 SCSI Channel Assignments SCSI channel 1/A and SCSI channel 2/B of the KZPEA adapter each support one external VHDCI connector or internal 68-pin HD SCSI connector. SCSI channel 1/A also has a 50-pin SCSI connector for CD-ROMs and tape support.

  • Page 15: Multiple Adapter Installation

    1.3.3 Multiple Adapter Installation The following considerations apply when you install more than one KZPEA adapter: • Each adapter has two independent SCSI channels. Each channel supports up to 15 drives. • Each SCSI channel has its own set of unique SCSI IDs (from 0 to 6 and 8 to 15).

  • Page 16: Scsi Cables

    Cables are provided with most Compaq server products that require cabling. If you find that you need an additional cable or that one was not provided with your server product, you can order the necessary cables from your local Compaq Reseller or authorized Compaq Service Provider. See Table 1-2 for external cable part numbers.

    Installation Preparation Check system requirements and verify that you have received all items in the KZPEA adapter kit. Perform an orderly shutdown of the system. Prepare the system and adapter for installation. Install and cable the adapter. 2.1.1 System Requirements Table 2–1 KZPEA Requirements...

  • Page 21: Prepare The Kzpea For Installation

    Each device and host adapter on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. It is recommended that the KZPEA adapter be left at its default ID of 7. If it is necessary to change the KZPEA adapter ID, refer to Table 3-1, SCSI Options.

  • Page 22: Prepare The System

    On a 16-bit SCSI bus, each device must have a unique SCSI ID from 0 to 15. Since the KZPEA default ID is 7, all other devices on the bus should be given IDs from 6 to 0 and 15 to 8, with 6 being the highest priority and 8 being the lowest priority.

  • Page 23: Install The Kzpea

    1. Use an ESD ground strap when handling the adapter module. 2. Locate an available PCI bus expansion slot. Make certain there are no restrictions for the PCI slot into which you will install the KZPEA. See the documentation that came with your AlphaServer or workstation for the location.

  • Page 24: Connecting The Led Connector

    5. Install the KZPEA adapter into the PCI slot and press it firmly into place. The contacts on the adapter edge should be fully seated in the system board connector. 6. Depending on your AlphaServer or workstation model, secure the adapter by replacing the retaining screw or by closing the slot latch.
