ISP12160A/33 or ISP12160A/66 chip. Using These Instructions Before installing your QLA12160/12160L board, take a moment to read this guide. These instructions are a condensed version of the instructions in section 2. Termination for the QLA12160 board is set automatically in most cases; see appendix A for details. - Page 6 66-MHz PCI bus. 5. Connect the appropriate SCSI peripheral cables. CAUTION! If the QLA12160/12160L board is on a SCSI bus with any single-ended peripheral device, for example, a CD-ROM, the QLA12160/12160L board automatically operates as a single-ended, Ultra device.

The QLA12160/12160L board must be in a PCI bus master slot. (Some motherboards share PCI bus master slots with onboard devices. QLA12160/12160L boards do not work in shared slots.) If your board is labeled QLA12160/66 or QLA12160L/66, it can run in a 66-MHz PCI slot.

SCSI ID, device type, etc.), congratulations! You have successfully installed the QLA12160/12160L board in your computer. See the Software Installation Guide for the QLA12160/12160L on the QLogic web site http://www.qlogic.com/ for detailed instructions on how to install the QLA12160/12160L board’s software drivers. - Page 16 For example, if you give one of your devices the same SCSI ID as the QLA12160/12160L board, that device will be listed for all SCSI IDs, or if you have two devices with the same SCSI ID, only one of the devices will be listed.

Are all of the circuit cards installed securely in the PC? Are all of the cables securely connected to the correct connectors? Is the QLA12160/12160L board installed correctly in the PC slot? Is it seated firmly in the slot? Are all external peripherals properly powered up? See section A.3 for information about displaying attached devices. -
Page 18: Scsi Problem Checklist
Were all of the SCSI devices powered up before you powered up the PC? Does each device have a unique SCSI ID? Each device must have its own unique ID between 0 and 15. The QLA12160/12160L board is set for SCSI ID 7 at the factory. -

<ALT>-<Q> during the QLA12160/12160L board BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to appear). If you have more than one QLA12160/12160L board, Fast!UTIL asks you to select the board you want to configure. After changing the settings, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters. -
Page 20: Host Adapter Settings
A.2.1 Host Adapter Settings From the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL, select Host Adapter Settings. The default settings for the QLA12160/12160L host adapter board are listed in table A-1 and described in the following paragraphs. Table A-1. Host Adapter Settings... - Page 21 Enabled. Drivers load RISC code. When this setting is enabled, the QLA12160/12160L board uses the RISC firmware that is embedded in the software driver. When this setting is disabled, the software driver loads the latest version of RISC firmware found on the system.
- Page 22 NOTE: The last SCSI device on each end of the SCSI bus must be terminated. The QLA12160/12160L board is a dual port host adapter. Each port is a separate SCSI bus and must be terminated independently. The port one and two connectors are listed in table A-2.

Disabled. SCSI termination is disabled. This setting overrides termination requirements sensed by the board. Use this setting when J1 (QLA12160/33 and QLA12160/66) , J2, or J3 is not at one end of the SCSI bus. For example, use this setting if you have wide devices... - Page 24 When set to No, disconnects are not allowed. The default is Yes. If you have more than one device attached to the QLA12160/12160L board, set Disconnects OK to Yes for best performance. Check Parity. When set to Yes, odd parity is checked and passed to the SCSI FIFO when data is received from the SCSI bus.
- Page 25 Tagged Queuing. When set to Yes, the device queues multiple commands. When set to No, multiple queues are not supported. The default is Yes. Enable PPR. When set to Yes, the QLA12160/12160L board attempts to negotiate for parallel protocol request (PPR) transfers. When set to No, the QLA12160/12160L board does not negotiate for PPR transfers.

Page 26: Scan And Configure Scsi Devices
Autoconfigure option gives you control of when the bus is scanned and configured. Selecting the Autoconfigure SCSI Devices option from the Configuration Settings menu causes the QLA12160/12160L board to scan the devices on the SCSI bus and set the following options, based on the capabilities of each device:... -

When the board is operating at maximum performance, it may not be 100% compatible with some older SCSI-1 devices. If the SCSI-1 device attached to the QLA12160/12160L board is having problems, you can turn off some of the high-performance parameters to get maximum compatibility. - Page 28 Using SCSI-1 Devices A – Fast!UTIL 3. Select SCSI Device Settings. A screen appears with the settings for each SCSI device. Make the following changes for each SCSI ID to which a SCSI-1 device is assigned. a. Change the Negotiate Wide setting to No. b.

J5, J6, J7, and J8; these settings allow automatic termination (see section A.2.1). Moving the jumpers on J5 and J6 on the QLA12160/12160L board manually sets the termination for port one. Moving the jumpers on J7 and J8 on the QLA12160/12160L board manually sets the termination for port two (see figure B-1). -
