VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter • CRC protects data • Covers all non-data, including command, status and messages • High-performance PCI multifunction device • Represents one electrical load to the PCI bus • Two independent wide Ultra160 SCSI channels •...
Overview Functional Description The VMIPMC-5790 Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter incorporates the Symbios® SYM53C1010, which is a highly integrated PCI Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI controller. The SYM53C1010 is 100 percent compatible with the Ultra160 SCSI initiative and provides additional features that ensure robust Ultra160 system operation.
Overview PCI Interface The Ultra160 SCSI PCI Interface complies with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2, and implements a 64-bit/66 MHz PCI bus. It is backward compatible with 32-bit/33 MHz buses. The SYM53C1010 is a true PCI multifunction device in that it presents one electrical load to the PCI bus.

Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of this product. VMIC assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these requirements. Ground the System To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and system cabinet must be connected to an electrical ground.
Overview Safety Symbols Used in This Manual Indicates dangerous voltage (terminals fed from the interior by voltage exceeding 1000 V are so marked). Protective conductor terminal. For protection against electrical shock in case of a fault. Used with field wiring terminals to indicate the terminal which must be connected to ground before operating equipment.
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter PCI Addressing There are three types of PCI-defined address spaces: • Configuration space • Memory space • I/O space Configuration space is a contiguous 256 x 8-bit set of addresses dedicated to each “slot”...
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter PCI Bus Configuration Registers The Configuration registers are accessible only by the system BIOS during PCI configuration cycles, and are not available to the user at any time. No other cycles can access these registers. NOTE: The Configuration register descriptions, which provide general information only, indicate which PCI configuration addresses are supported in the SYM53C1010 controller.
PCI Bus Configuration Registers PCI Vendor ID Register This 16-bit register identifies the manufacturer of the SCSI chip, and also contains the hardwired value of $1000 for SCSI. This register is accessed by the system software to identify the SYM53C1010 on the PCI bus. The register bits are shown in Table 1-3. Table 1-3 PCI SCSI Vendor ID (VID) Register Bit Map Ultra160 SCSI: Configuration Address Space $00 (R) Name...
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter PCI Status/Command Register The most significant half of the Status/Command register is used to record status information for PCI bus-related events. Reads to this register behave normally. Writes are slightly different in that bits can be cleared, but not set. A bit is reset whenever the register is written, and the data in the corresponding bit location is a one (1).

VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter SCSI Interface Registers The control registers for the SCSI core are directly accessible from the PCI bus using Memory or I/O mapping. SCSI Function A and SCSI Function B contain the same register set with identical default values, except the Interrupt Pin registers. The address map of the SCSI registers is shown in Table 1-21 starting below.
All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the carrier and a complete report sent to VMIC together with a request for advice concerning the disposition of the damaged item(s).
CAUTION: Do not install or remove the board while power is applied. Host systems containing PMC sites vary widely in appearance and board installation procedures. VMIC recommends examining the host system installation procedures prior to installing this board. The following procedure outlines the installation of the VMIPMC-5790 onto a suitable PCI bus motherboard with an available PMC site.
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter SCSI Connectivity The VMIPMC-5790 allows you to connect up to 16 SCSI devices per channel without any degradation of signal. The front panel SCSI connector is two 68-position VHDCI (very high density connectors), right-angle, stacked receptacles representing Channels A and B.
SCSI Connectivity Ultra160 When Ultra160 SCSI is used with low-voltage differential (LVD) signalling, cable lengths of 12 meters are maintained to provide full backward compatibility. Ultra160 SCSI can connect up to 16 devices on a single channel.

Appendix SCSI BIOS and Configuration Utility Introduction This section presents general information about the SCSI BIOS and Configuration Utility. The following SCSI information is divided into these sections: SCSI BIOS • Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility • Using the Configuration Utility •...
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter SCSI BIOS A SCSI BIOS is the bootable ROM code that manages SCSI hardware resources. The SCSI BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS, extending the standard disk service routine provided through INT13h. During the boot time initialization, the SCSI BIOS determines if there are other hard disks, such as an IDE drive, already installed by the system BIOS.
SCSI BIOS Using the Configuration Utility * * * Screen Format * * * All SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility screens are partitioned into fixed areas as shown below. Header Area Menu Area Main Area Footer Area Header Area This area provides static information text, which is typically the product title and version.

VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter Boot Adapter List The adapter boot order specifies the order in which adapters will boot when more than one OS adapter is in a system. Up to four of the total adapters in a system may be selected as bootable. To add an adapter to the boot list, press Insert while on the Boot Adapter List.
SCSI BIOS Boot Order: Specifies the relative boot order (0 to 3) of an adapter. - : decreases an adapter’s relative boot order. + : increases an adapter’s relative boot order. Current Status: Indicates whether an adapter in the boot list was enabled during the most recent boot.
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter Negotiate with devices: This option sets the default value for synchronous and wide negotiations with specified devices. Options are: All, None, or Supported. Video Mode: This option specifies the default video mode for the Configuration Utility.
Page 66
SCSI BIOS SCSI Parity: This field indicates whether SCSI parity is enabled for an adapter. When disabled, it is also necessary to disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking for the reselection phase is NOT disabled. If a non-parity generating device disconnects, its operation will never complete because the reselection fails due to parity error.
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter Spinup Delay (Secs): This field indicates the number of seconds to wait between spinups of devices attached to an adapter. Staggered spinups will balance the total electrical current load on the system during boot. The default value is 2 seconds, with choices between 1 and 10 seconds.
Page 70
SCSI BIOS * * * Field Descriptions * * * SCSI ID: This field indicates the device’s SCSI Identifier. Device Identifier: This field indicates the ASCII device identifier string extracted from the device’s Inquiry Data. Sync Rate: This field indicates the maximum synchronous data transfer rate, in Mega Transfers per second.
VMIPMC-5790 PMC Dual-Channel Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter Queue Tags: This field indicates whether to allow the use of queue tags for a device. Currently the BIOS does not use queue tags. This item specifies queue tag control to higher level device drivers. Boot Choice: This field indicates whether this device may possibly be selected as the boot device.
