Installing the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter using

the ibmsis Device Driver

This chapter provides instructions for installing and verifying hardware and software that pertains to the

Linux operating system using the ibmsis Device Driver. If you are using the newer ipr device driver, go to

"Installing the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter using the ipr Device Driver" on page 15

and follow the procedures shown in that section.

Note: If you are using AIX, see Chapter 5, "Setting Up the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID

Adapter (AIX)," on page 9. If you have another operating system installed, refer to your operating

system documentation for information regarding installing the device driver software and configuring

your system.

Install your PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter using the instructions found in this section.

Note: If you are using AIX, follow the steps in Chapter 4, "Installing the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320

SCSI RAID Adapter (AIX)," on page 7.

Attention:

Do not remove the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter from its antistatic package at

this time.

To install the adapter, do the following:

1. Refer to the option installation documentation that shipped with your system unit to perform the

following:

a. Some systems support the hot-plugging of adapters. Prepare your system to hot plug this adapter

while system power is on. Shut down your system unit if your system does not support

hot-plugging.

Note: The 2.4 Linux kernel does not support PCI hot-plugging for SCSI host adapters.

To determine if any placement restrictions apply to your adapter, refer to the PCI Adapter

Placement Reference. Return here to complete the installation procedure.

c. Install the PCI Adapter into your system unit.

Attention

Failure to install your PCI adapter into the correct slot can cause your adapter or system unit to

function incorrectly.

Connecting External or Internal Devices

To connect external or internal devices, use the procedures in "Connecting Internal SCSI Backplanes and

Devices" on page 7 or "Connecting External SCSI Storage Peripheral Devices" on page 8.
