Preface This book is the primary reference and user’s guide for the LSI Logic LSI20160 Single Channel Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapter. It contains a complete functional description for the LSI20160 board as well as complete physical and electrical specifications.
BIOS support for this host adapter is incorporated on the board in a 128 Kbyte Flash device. The onboard controller for the LSI20160 is the LSI53C1000 PCI to Ultra160 SCSI Controller. LSI20160 Single Channel Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapter...
Universal 32-bit PCI card edge connector Standard bracket available 1.2.4 SCSI Activity LED Interface The J3 connector is a four-wire arrangement on the LSI20160 that represents the SCSI activity LED interface. the signal name and pin numbers for this LED interface.
1.5 LVDlink™ Technology Benefits The LSI20160 supports LVD for SCSI, a signaling technology that increases the reliability of SCSI data transfers over longer distances than are supported by SE SCSI. The low current output of LVD allows the I/O transceivers to be integrated directly onto the chip.
TolerANT input signal filtering is a built-in feature of the LSI53C1000 device as well as all LSI Logic SCSI devices. Describing the LSI20160 All bus devices must be LVD or SE. If a High Voltage Differential (HVD) device is detected, the board puts the SCSI bus in the high impedance state and shuts down.
Step 1. Ground yourself before handling the host adapter board. Step 2. Remove the LSI20160 from its packing and examine it for any Step 3. Switch off and unplug the system. Step 4. Open your PC cabinet.
Step 14. Refer to the PCI Storage Device Management System 2.2 Detailed Installation Procedure This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the LSI20160, and connecting it to your SCSI peripherals. If you are experienced in these tasks, you may prefer to use the preceding Section 2.1, “Quick Installation Procedure.”...

2.2.3 Inserting the Host Adapter Perform the following steps to install the LSI20160 in your PC mainboard. Step 1. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer Step 2. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into Figure 2.1...
2.2.4 Connecting SCSI Peripherals All internal SCSI bus connections to the LSI20160 can be made with an unshielded, 68-conductor ribbon cable (see cable is marked with a color to indicate the pin-1 side. The connectors on this cable are keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection. Some internal cables come with an LVD/SE terminator on one end.
Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s instructions and to the user’s manual for your computer for information on how to identify the terminator setting of each device and how to change it. The LSI20160 automatically controls SCSI bus termination for two different bus configurations (see Termination on...
Step 1. Replace the cabinet cover on your computer. Step 2. Plug in all power cords, and switch on power to all devices and Step 3. Wait for your computer to boot up. Step 4. Refer to the LSI Logic PCI Storage Device Management 2-20 Installing the LSI20160 your computer.
Chapter 3 Technical Specifications This chapter discusses the physical environment associated with the LSI20160. It includes a mechanical drawing of this board, which is shown Figure Section 3.1, “Physical Environment,” page 3-1 Section 3.2, “Operational Environment,” page 3-4 Section 3.3, “Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID,” page 3-9 3.1 Physical Environment...
3.2 Operational Environment The LSI20160 is designed for use in PCI computer systems with a standard bracket type. The SDMS software operates the board, but the design of the board does not prevent the use of other software. An on- board Flash memory device allows you to use BIOS code and open boot code support through PCI and a serial EEPROM.
Ultra160 SCSI protocols. Arbitration is supported for 8-bit (at lower SCSI speeds) and 16-bit. Active SE or LVD SCSI termination is provided automatically. The LSI20160 supplies the SCSI termination power. Connector J2 makes the external connection, which provides LVD/SE SCSI termination.
3.2.3 The LED Interface The LSI20160 LED interface is a four-wire arrangement that allows you to connect an LED harness to the board. The GPIO0_FETCH line has a maximum output low voltage of 0.4 V and minimum output low current of 16 mA.
3.3 Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID Table 3.6 LSI20160. The serial EEPROM on this board contains the ID numbers. During system initialization, the system loads the ID numbers into the Subsystem Vendor ID and Subsystem ID registers of the LSI20160 SCSI Controller (the LSI53C1000).
