    SCSI Setup and Configurations The PCA-6178 features an onboard SCSI interface. This chapter provides basic SCSI concepts and instructions for installing the software drivers with the SCSI driver disks/CD included in your package.

  • Page 95: Introduction

    Introduction The PCA-6178 is equipped with a Symbios SYM53C895 single-chip PCI-to-SCSI host adapter which provides a powerful Ultra2 multitask- ing interface between your computer’s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.). Up to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to the SCSI connector through the Symbios SYM53C895.

  • Page 96: Basic Rules For Scsi Host Adapter And Device

    Basic Rules for SCSI Host Adapter and Device Installation You must terminate both ends of the SCSI bus. Refer to the hardware manuals for the devices and the host adapter to properly terminate the bus. Unless your system is SCSI Configured AutoMatically (SCAM) capable, you must configure each SCSI device with a different SCSI ID number.

  • Page 97: Scsi Terminators

    Proper termination for internal Ultra2 peripherals is provided by the built-in terminator at the end of the Ultra2 internal SCSI cable. • Most non-Ultra2 SCSI peripherals come from the factory with termination enabled. PCA-6178 User’s Manual...

  • Page 98: Sdms Drivers

    SDMS Drivers The SDMS device drivers translate an operating system I/O request into a SCSI request. Each Symbios SCSI device driver is operating system specific and is designed to work on standard Symbios chip implementations. We provide PCI SDMS device drivers for the following operating systems: •...

    Onboard Security Setup This chapter explains OBS concepts and provides instructions for installing the relevant software drivers. This is done using the OBS driver CD included in your PCA-6178 package.

  • Page 101: Introduction

    Introduction Onboard security (OBS) functions monitor key hardware. They help you maintain your system's stability and durability. The PCA-6178 can monitor 5 sets of system positive voltages, 2 sets of system negative voltages, CPU cooling fan speed, and CPU temperature.
