1. PCI X expansion slot press down firmly until the card clicks into place then replace the slot cover screw When installed properly the card should appear level with the expansion slot as shown below Setting Up SCSI Devices There are several things you may need to do to your SCSI devices before you connect them to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP m Check the SCSI IDs m Set the termination m Connect the power cables Since setup can vary from device to device always refer to the device s documentation for specific instructions Following are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination on your devices Check the SCSI IDs The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP and each device you connect to it must have a unique SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15 on each channel No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the same SCSI ID The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP is preset to ID 7 for each channel and should not be changed If you boot from a SCSI hard disk make sure the hard disk SCSI ID is set to 0 Most SCSI hard disks are preset to SCSI ID 0 at the factory The SCSI IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers SCSI IDs for external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the device Terminate the Ends To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus the device at the end of each cable or the end of the cable itself must have a terminator installed or enabled Terminators must be2. removed or termination must be disabled on devices between the ends of each cable Note When connecting Ultra320 160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices the SCSI bus must be terminated either on the end of the cable with a permanent terminator or with a separate terminating connector Ultra SCSI and earlier single ended devices can terminate the bus directly from the device If you use an Ultra SCSI terminator on an LVD Ultra320 160 and Ultra2 SCSI bus the SCSI devices will not operate properly For this reason be sure that you have the necessary Ultra320 160 or Ultra2 cable and terminator before installing the Ultra320 160 SCSI devices Connecting SCSI Devices You can connect a total of 15 SCSI devices to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP Before connecting devices be sure to review Setting Up SCSI Devices on page 4 Connecting Internal Ultra320 160 and Ultra2 Devices A special 68 pin internal LVD cable is needed to connect internal Ultra320 160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices If your cables are not marked you can identify most LVD cables as having twisted pairs of the flat ribbon cable between the device connectors Some cables are laminated so that they lay flat Internal LVD cables usually have a terminator built into the end of the cable The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP has one internal LVD SE connector to which you can connect internal SCSI devices AA Note Adaptec recommends that you keep your Ultra320 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices separate
3. INSTALLATION GUIDE ADAPTEC SCSI CARD 29320ALP Sa Ss SES 388 gt Se gt gt lt lt Introduction The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP enables you to connect up to 15 SCSI devices such as very large arrays of high performance hard disk drives external storage subsystems Ultra320 160 hard disk drives scanners and CD ROM drives to any Intel based computer with 64 or 32 bit PCI PCI X expansion slots The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP is a single channel SCSI card with a maximum throughput of 320 MB sec You can connect Ultra320 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the internal 68 pin Low Voltage Differential Single Ended LVD SE connector and the external very high density cable interconnect VHDCI connector 68 pin internal LVD SE connector 68 pin external LVD SE VHDCI connector Although the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP is a 64 bit PCI PCI X card it also works in a 32 bit PCI slot When installed in a 32 bit PCI slot the card automatically runs in the slower 32 bit mode This installation guide explains how to m Install the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP m Set up SCSI devices Connect SCSI devices x Note If you connect Wide Ultra Ultra SCSI devices to the same SCSI channel as Ultra320 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices the data transfer rate for the Ultra320 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices will drop to Ultra SCSI performance levels To achieve maximum data transfer rates for the newer SCSI devices be sur

SI cable Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices 1 Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to one of the external Ultra320 160 connectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP 68 pin external LVD SE VHDCI SCSI connector VHDCI external LVD SCSI able 2 Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the back of an external device If you are installing only one external device terminate the device and skip to Step 4 SCSI terminator 3 Connect the other external SCSI devices by linking each device to the previous one as shown below Terminate only the device at the end of the chain 4 Connect power cables to all external device s and to the computer More Information About Termination The last SCSI device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be terminated and termination must be disabled for all other devices in the middle of the cables Ultra320 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices are automatically unterminated but Ultra SCSI and Fast Wide SCSI devices do have termination that you must check For more information refer to the documentation for each SCSI device If you are using external Ultra2 or Ultra320 160 devices be sure to use an LVD terminator to terminate the last device in the chain If you use a single ended active terminator sometimes called an Ultra terminator the SCSI devices will not operate properly Troubleshooting If you have any problems while installing the Adapt
5. e to connect them on their own SCSI channel Installing the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP 1 Discharge any static electricity build up before handling your SCSI card by touching a grounded metal object like the exposed metal parts on the back of your computer Warning Turn OFF power to the computer and disconnect the power cord 2 After you turn off your computer and unplug the power cord remove the cover from the computer 3 Locate an unused 64 bit PCI PCI X expansion slot and remove the expansion slot cover If the computer does not have a 64 bit slot you can install the card in a 32 bit PCI slot The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP supports both 5V and 3 3V 64 bit slots The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev 2 1 or PCI X Rev 1 0 and must support Bus Mastering Save the slot cover screw for use in Step 4 Slot cover screw Expansion 5 cover ee 64 bit PCI slot Computers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots Refer to your computer manual to locate the PCI PCI X slots If your computer is a tower model lay it on its side to allow for easier installation of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP Warning Be careful when inserting the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP in a PCI slot Some 32 bit slots will not accommodate it and the card may break if you force it into the slot 4 Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320ALP in the 64 bit or 32 bit PCI or
