Adapter Specification Overview The Compaq VAX™-SCSI Wide Ultra SCSI Host is based on the LSI 53C875 SCSI controller chip. This chip includes the following: Onboard RISC processor Internal 512Byte FIFO Internal 4Kbyte Script RAM One interrupt per I/O scripts IntraServer’s SCSI script implementation on the Symbios (LSI Logic) 53C875 SCSI processor offloads the CPU to deliver higher efficiency and lower CPU utlization.
Check for the latest patch information for your version of VMS at the following There are some required VMS patches required to certain versions of VMS required to run the Compaq VAX-SCSI option. These are found on the support web site at: http://ftp.service.digital.com/patches/public/vms/vax/...
Cannot be used with the KZQSA 5140-V5 Performance Compaq’s VAX SCSI adapters bring state of the art Ultra SCSI disks and tapes to the VAX architecture, and significantly increase the I/O throughput available. For single block, sequential I/O (512 bytes) the Compaq adapters are capable of doing 5000 I/Os per second, running OpenVMS to Ultra SCSI disks.
Adapter Installation Termination Compaq VAX™-SCSI Ultra SCSI Host adapters include on-board Differential SCSI drivers and termination. The Comapq adapter is always at the end of the SCSI chain, and therefore always must terminate the SCSI bus. An external SCSI Connector and cabling is provided for connection to external SCSI devices.
Once you have completed these general procedures, skip to the section below that best describes your system type and configuration. Before you begin installing your Compaq VAX™-SCSI UltraSCSI adapter, you must follow the steps below: Back up your files Follow the instructions in your software documentation to do a complete backup of your system and user disks.
DS-KZCCA-AB Installation Procedure Use this installation procedure if your system type is VAX4000™-100, - 100A, -105A, -106A, or MicroVAX3100™-85, -90, -95 or -96. Removing System Cover After the system has been shut down, and power has been removed from the system, remove the system cover or access panel to gain access to the processor module.
DS-KZCCA-AB Configuration Restrictions You can not have the Compaq VAX™-SCSI option in your system at the same time as the asynchronous communications option. If this option is in your system, it must be removed if you want to run the Compaq adapter.
DS-KZCCA-AB Installation Procedure The table below provides an overview of the VAX™-SCSI installation procedure. The remainder of this section explains each step in more detail. Touch the TOUCH HERE space or a metal piece on the top of the power supply Remove the I/O filler plate Remove the asynchronous communication adapter (if present) Install the internal SCSI cable on the VAX™-SCSI module...
Attach the I/O bulkhead to the cutout at the rear of the system, with the screws provided. Be careful to route the cable in a way that will not interfere with other system components or the system cover. Routing the Internal Cables Figure 4: Routing the internal cables.
DS-KZCCA-BB Installation Procedure Use this installation procedure if your system type is a Vaxstation 4000-90, - 90A, or –96. Removing the VAXStation System Cover After the system has been shut down, and power has been removed from the system, remove the system cover or access panel to gain access to the processor module.
VAX™-SCSI option. Configuration Restrictions You can not have the Compaq VAX SCSI option in your system at the same time as the TURBO channel adapter. If this adapter is in your system, it must be removed if you want to run the Compaq adapter.
Remove the filler plate Temporarily remove the graphics board (if applicable) Remove the TURBOchannel adapter if one is present. This adapter can NOT co-exist with the Compaq VAX™-SCSI adapter. Install the internal SCSI cable on the VAX™-SCSI module Install the VAX™-SCSI module in your system, by aligning the connector on the side of the module with the receptacle on the CPU board.
Replace the graphics board if one was removed Re-attach any SCSI cables which were removed 10. Attach the I/O bulkhead to the cutout at the rear of the system, with the screws provided. Be careful to route the cable in a way that will not interfere with other system components or the system cover.
DS-KZCCA-CB Installation Procedure Use this installation procedure if your system type is VAX4000-500A, - 505A, -600A, -700A or –705A. Removing System Cover After the system has been shut down, and power has been removed from the system, open the lower system door. Using a phillips head screwdriver, release the CPU access cover by turning the retaining screws ¼...
Locate the CPU module within your system enclosure. You will need to remove the CPU module from the system in order to install your Compaq VAX™-SCSI option. Consult your system documentation for details of this...
Configuration Restrictions You can not have the Compaq VAX™-SCSI option in your system at the same time as the KZQSA Q-Bus SCSI adapter. If this module is in your system, it must be removed if you want to run the VAX-SCSI adapter.
Cable Routing Example Figure 11 Routing the Cables Install the VAX™-SCSI module in your system, by aligning the connector on the back of the module with the receptacle on the CPU board. When you are certain the connectors are aligned, gently apply pressure directly above the connector until the connectors seat.
Installing the DS-KZCCA-CB adapter Figure 12: Installing the DS-KZCCA-CB VAX™-SCSI Adapter Connect the internal SCSI I/O cable you routed from the I/O bulkhead in step 4, above. Replace the CPU module by gently sliding it into the backplane, and operating the retaining levers.
DS-KZCCA-DB Installation Procedure Use this installation procedure if your system type is VAX™4000-108, MicroVAX™3100-88 or MicroVAX™-98. Removing System Cover After the system has been shut down, and power has been removed from the system, remove the system cover by releasing the retaining screws. Locate the I/O option slots, and remove one of the blank I/O panels.
I/O expansion slots Figure 14: Option Locations Locate the options listed above within your system enclosure. You may need to temporarily remove one or more options in order to install your Compaq VAX™-SCSI option. Compaq VAX™-SCSI Installation Procedure The table below provides an overview of the VAX™-SCSI installation procedure.
Note: Refer to the diagram below Installing the DS-KZCCA-DB adapter Figure 15: Installing the DS-KZCCA-DB VAX™-SCSI Adapter Replace the system cover, and all external cables.
On a 16 bit (WIDE) VAX™-SCSI bus, each device must have a unique SCSI ID from 0 - 7. The Compaq VAX™-SCSI adapter defaults to ID 7. All other devices on the bus should be given IDs from 0 – 6. Refer to the documentation for each of your devices for the method of setting the SCSI ID for that device.
Most problems encountered during the initial installation of a SCSI system can be traced to improper or low quality cabling and termination. Compaq carries a complete line of high quality SCSI cables which are compatible with Compaq’s VAX™-SCSI adapters, which can be ordered to meet the...
Connecting External SCSI Devices Optional cables are available from Compaq for all external devices. See the cable selection table in this guide to determine the correct cable for your application. Apply these rules for IDs and termination: Only the end device on the bus (last device on the cable) should have termination enabled The VAX™-SCSI adapter ALWAYS provides termination...
Device Drivers for OpenVMS™ IntraServer’s OpenVMS™ driver enables the use of Ultra SCSI Differential disks, tapes and RAID enclosures, such as Compaq’s StorageWorks line of disk enclosures, to maximize the VAX™ system’s I/O throughput and storage capacity. IntraServer’s OpenVMS™ drivers are optimized for...

time, answer NO to the following question: * Do you want this procedure to automatically start the drivers? [YES]? In order to start the IntraServer SCSI support on this system SYS$SYSTEM:CONFIG_PCI must be run each time the system boots. IntraServer recommends that CONFIG_PCI is run from the SYS$MANGER:SYCONFIG.COM procedure so that your SCSI devices made available during the normal boot process.
