KZPEA-DB Ultra 160 64-Bit PCI–SCSI Dual Channel Storage Adapter Module
Be sure to read these notes and the provided User Guide before installing the KZPEA-DB Ultra 160 SCSI
Storage Adapter Module into your AlphaServer.
Note: Please refer to the latest version of these release notes, which can be found on the KZPEA Web
Page. The KZPEA web page can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate link on the HP

The KZPEA-DB Ultra 160 SCSI Storage Adapter is a very high performance PCI option module that
connects devices attached to its two 16-bit Ultra3 160MB/s LVD/SE SCSI ports to a PCI based host
AlphaServer system. The module supports both 32 and 64 bit PCI slots.
Note:
The KZPEA supports SCSI bus speeds up to Ultra3 160MB/sec when using LVD signaling
(requiring multi-mode or LVD only terminators on the bus). The fastest the adapter can run in SE
mode is UltraSCSI speeds.

- Page 8 “Protected from attempted operation” Software Notes The minimum acceptable version of Compaq Analyze is 4.0. The driver for Tru64 UNIX currently does not do domain validation on warm swaps. Domain validation is only performed during boot time and is performed to ensure that the SCSI bus speed negotiated with the device can be executed without data corruption or bus errors.
- Page 9 Refer to the KZPEA User Guide regarding operation of the adapter’s onboard SCSI Configuration Utility. Note: For shared bus configuration only, please disregard the “SCSI Termination” paragraph under section 2.1.2 of the KZPEA User Guide which states that the adapter can only be located at the end of the bus, requiring jumpers J3 and J5 to be installed.
