Quick Reference Chart. On systems that do not use the on-board BIOS Configuration utility refer to the software descriptions for instructions on changing SCSI IDs. All Intel-based systems use the on-board BIOS utilities; Alpha-based systems use AlphaBIOS for Windows NT and SRM console for DIGITAL UNIX and DIGITAL OpenVMS.
Installing the Host Adapter Install the Host Adapter module using the following procedures. Take precautions to protect the module from static discharge. To protect the board from static discharge, wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. If a wrist strap is unavailable, ground yourself by touching a bare metal surface on the computer chassis before you open the case.
KZPCM PCI–to–Dual Channel Ultra SCSI and 10/100MB Ethernet Host Adapter Figure 2–2 Inserting the Host Adapter in a Slot 2.5.2 Connecting Internal SCSI Devices Refer to your SCSI device documentation if you want to install one or more SCSI device inside the host computer. The internal device(s) must be single- ended.
If you are connecting more than one internal SCSI drive to the KZPCM Host Adapter, there must be additional connectors accommodate the additional drives. Follow these steps to install the internal SCSI ribbon cable: 1. Insert the connector on one end of the SCSI cable into the connector on the host adapter (see Figures 2–3 and 2–4).
KZPCM PCI–to–Dual Channel Ultra SCSI and 10/100MB Ethernet Host Adapter Figure 2–4 Installing the 50-pin Cable Connector Onto the Host Adapter The colored stripe on one side of the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin 1 on the host adapter board.
Figure 2–5 Connecting the Ribbon Cable to an Internal SCSI Device 3. To connect a second internal SCSI device, plug a middle ribbon cable connector into the connector on the second internal device (see Figure 2–6), maintaining the pin orientation. Refer to your host computer documentation for more information describing how to connect the adapter to internal devices.
KZPCM PCI–to–Dual Channel Ultra SCSI and 10/100MB Ethernet Host Adapter Figure 2–6 Connecting the Ribbon Cable to a Second Internal SCSI Device 4. To connect three or more internal SCSI devices to the SCSI bus, the ribbon cable must have enough connectors to accommodate all the devices. Plug the connectors into the SCSI devices maintaining the pin-1 orientation.
Figure 2–7 Connecting an External SCSI Cable to the Host Adapter The cable connector shown in Figure 2-7 is for illustration only; the KZPCM Host Adapter requires a VHDCI connector. 2.

Each SCSI device on a port must have a unique ID from 0 – 15, which cannot be the same as the host ID or that of any other drive.
Checking the SCSI Bus Termination A very common SCSI problem is incorrect termination. Refer to Chapter 2, Installing the KZPCM Host Adapter, to determine if the bus is terminated correctly at both ends of the bus, and that no device in the middle has termination enabled.
KZPCM PCI–to–Dual Channel Ultra SCSI and 10/100MB Ethernet Host Adapter Testing the Ethernet After the correct Ethernet port has been located, it can also be fully tested using the built-in diagnostic NETTEST. This test is capable of doing both an internal and external loopback test.
