- Page 2 Introduction The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A enables you to connect up to 15 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) and/or 15 Single-Ended (SE) SCSI devices—such as very large arrays of high-performance hard disk drives, external storage subsystems, Ultra320/160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel-based computer with 64- or 32-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slots.
- Page 3 Locate an unused 64-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slot and remove the expansion slot cover. If the computer does not have a 64-bit slot, you can install the card in a 32-bit PCI slot. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A supports both 5V and 3.3V 64-bit slots. (The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev.

Page 4: Setting Up Scsi Devices
Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A in the 64-bit (or 32-bit) PCI or PCI-X expansion slot; press down firmly until the card clicks into place, then replace the slot cover screw. When installed properly, the card should appear level with the expansion slot, as shown below. -
Page 5: Connecting Scsi Devices
No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the same SCSI ID. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A is preset to ID 7 for each channel and should not be changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the hard disk SCSI ID is set to 0. - Page 6 Internal LVD cables usually have a terminator built into the end of the cable. The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A has one internal 68-pin LVD connector and two internal SE connectors to which you can connect internal SCSI devices, as shown in the figure on page 1.
- Page 7 Plug the nonterminated end of the cable(s) to the internal LVD connector. Plug the internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the other cable connectors, starting with the connector at the terminated end of the cable. Ultra320/160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices Built-in terminator on cable Plug first device to this connector...
- Page 8 Locate a 68-pin internal Wide SCSI cable. Plug one end of the cable to the Wide SCSI connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. 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.
- Page 9 Note: We recommend that you do not combine older SCSI devices with the newer Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices: Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to one of the external Ultra320/160 connectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A.
- Page 10 Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the back of an external device. If you are installing only one external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 4. SCSI terminator Connect the other external SCSI devices by linking each device to the previous one, as shown below.
