Ultra320 SCSI on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D

The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D enables you to connect up to 30 SCSI devices—such as very large arrays of high-performance hard disk drives, external storage subsystems, Ultra320/160, or Ultra2 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to any Intel- based computer with 64- or 32-bit PCI/PCI-X expansion slots. Ultra320 is an enhanced SCSI technology that transf ers data at up to 320 MB/sec. Ultra320 SCSI allows cable length of up to 12 meters for optimal connectivity and flexibility.

When only one Ultra320/Ultra160, or Ultra2 SCSI device is connected, the

cable length can be up to 25 meters (82 feet).

1-1

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D has two independent SCSI channels, each with a maximum throughput of 320 MB/sec.

■ SCSI Channel A—(marked CH A on the card) has one internal

connector and one external connector.

■ SCSI Channel B—(marked CH B on the card) has one external

connector.

For the best data I /O per form ance , conne ct on ly LVD ( Low Voltage Differential) devices and LVD cables to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D. (LVD devices means Ultra 320, Ultra160, and Ultra2 SCSI devices.) If you connect non-LVD devices (for example, Fast SCSI or Ultra SCSI devices), we recommend that you connect them to SCSI Channel B. This allows you to operate LVD SCSI devices at their maximum speed on Channel Awhile at the same time using non-LVD SCSI devices on Channel B.

Although the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D is a 64-bit PCI car d, it also works in a 32-bit PCI slot. When insta lled in a 32-bit PCI slot, the card automatically runs in the slower 32-bit mode.

This User’s Guide provides information about using the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D and SCSI devices, troubleshooting, SCSI termination, and other important topics. It explains how to use the built-in SCSISelect

utility if you need to change the Adapte c SCS I Card 39320D settings. It also explains how to install the software device drivers for your operating system.

Note: Read the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D Installation Guide if you need instructions on installing the SCSI Card and connecting SCSI devices to it.

System Requirements

The minimum system requirements needed to install the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D device drivers are:

■ A PCI computer, with an installed and configured Adaptec

Ultra320 ho st adapter(s).

■ An installed primary (boot) floppy disk drive. The drive must

be able to read your operating system floppy disks. A 3.5 inch (1.44 MB) floppy disk drive is required.

■ The driver floppy disks included with your Adaptec SCSI Card

39320D.

■ An installed and configured CD-ROM d riv e.

■ The distribution software and documentation included with

your operating system.

Understanding SCSI

SCSI (pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer Syste ms Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting SCSI devices (such as a hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, or scanner) to a common SCSI bus.

A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI adapter card (such as the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D ) installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices. SCSI cables are used to connect the devices to the SCSI adapter card. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D has two independent SCSI buses (chann e l s).

For the SCSI bus to function properly, a unique SCSI ID must be assigned to the SCSI card and each SCSI device connected to it, and the SCSI bus must be properly terminated.

1-4

Introduction

SCSI IDs

Each device attached to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D, as well as the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15 for each of the two SCSI buses. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the same time.

Refer to the device’s documentation to set the SCSI ID. Here are some general guidelines for SCSI IDs:

■ For internal SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set by

configuring a jumper on the device. For further information on changing the SCSI ID, refer to the device manufacturer’s documentation.

■ For external SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set with a

switch on the back of the device. For further information on changing the SCSI ID, refer to the device manufacturer’s documentation.

■ SCSI ID numbers do not need to be sequential, as long as the

Adaptec SCSI Card 39 320D and each device has a different number. For example, on each of the two SCSI buses you can have an internal SCSI device with ID 0, and an external SCSI device with ID 6.

■ SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the SCSI bus. The priority

of the remaining IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0, then 15 to 8.

■ On both SCSI buses (channels) the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D

is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be changed. This gives the card the highest priority on the SCSI bus.

■ Most internal SCSI hard disk drives come from the factory

preset to SCSI ID 0.

■ If you have 8-bit (or Narrow) SCSI devices, they must use SCSI

IDs 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. SCSI ID 0 is recommended for the first SCSI hard disk drive.

1-5

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

■ If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive

connected to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D, the Boot SCSI ID setting in the SCSISelect utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0. We recommend that you do not change this setting.

■ With the SCSISelect disk utility feature, you can confirm/view

which SCSI ID is assigned to each device. See Chapter 3,

Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D with SCSISelect for

more information.

Terminating the SCSI Bus

To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the ends of the SCSI bus must be properly terminated. This is accomplished when the device at the end of each cable, or the end of the cable itself, has a terminator installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or termination must be disabled, on devices between the ends of each cable.

Since the method for terminating a SCSI device can vary widely, refer to the device’s documentation for instructions on how to enable or disable termination. Here are some general guidelines for termination:

■ Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 SCSI LVD devices come from

the factory with termination disabled and cannot be changed. Proper termination for these internal devices is provided by the built-in terminator at the end of the 68-pin internal LVD SCSI cable.

■ Termination on SE internal SCSI devices is usually controlled

by manually setting a jumper or a switch on the device, or by physically removing or installing one or more resistor modules on the device. For further information on device termination, refer to the device manufacturer’s docume ntation.

■ Termination on most external SCSI devices is controlled by

installin g or removing a SCSI ter min ator. However, terminat ion on some external SCSI devices is enabled or disabled by setting a switch on the back of the SCSI device. For further information on device termination, refer to the device manufacturer’s documentation.

1-6

Introduction

■ By default, termination on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D itself

is set to Automatic (the preferred method). We recommend that you do not change this default setting. This automatic setting is just for the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D itself; the card cannot change the termination setting on a device.

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

Using SCSI Devices

Using SCSI Hard Disk Drives

■ If you connect a SCSI hard disk drive to the Adaptec SCSI Card

39320D that was previously connected to a different SCSI card, you must low-level format the drive before you can use it. Back up the data on the drive before you format the drive. (See Using

SCSI Disk Utilities on page 3-15 for information on using the

SCSISelect format utility.)

Caution: A low-level format destroys all data on the drive.

Be sure to back up the data before performing a low-level format.

■ Every SCSI hard disk drive must be physically low-level

formatted, partitioned, and logically formatted before it can be used to store data. Most SCSI drives are preformatted at the factory. If your SCSI hard disk drive has not been preformatted at the factory, and if your computer is running under DOS, you can format the disk with the DOS Fdisk and Format commands. (See the DOS and Windows documentation for more information.) To format SCSI hard disk drives running under other operating systems, see the operating system documentation.

Using Ultra320/160 Hard Disk Drives

■ We recommend that you connect your LVD (Ultra 320, Ultra160

and Ultra2) SCSI devices to SCSI Channel Aand your non-LVD SCSI devices (if any) to SCSI Channel B. This allows the LVD SCSI devices to run at their maximum performance levels of 320 MB/sec, 160 MB/sec. or 80 MB/sec. Or you can connect LVD SCSI devices to both SCSI channels. If you combine LVD and non-LVD SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel, the data

2-2

Using the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D and SCSI Devices

transfer rate of the LVD SCSI devices will drop down to non-LVD SCSI performance levels of up to 40 MB/sec.

68-pin Internal LVD/SE Connector Channel A

68-pin External LVD/VHDCI Connector Channel A

68-pin External LVD/VHDCI Connector Channel B

■ Internal LVD SCSI devices come from the factory with

termination disabled and cannot be changed. Proper termination is provided by the terminator at the end of the internal LVD SCSI cable.

Using SCSI Devices

If you connect SCSI devices (such as scanners, tape drives, zip drives, etc.) to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D, you must install the device manufacturer’s proprietary software drivers. See your device’s documentation for de t ai l s.

Combining SCSI and Non-SCS I Devices

You can install the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D in a computer that already has a non-SCSI controller, such as an ATA controller. However, you cannot cross-connect the disk drives and other devices: SCSI devices must be connected to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D, EIDE devices must be connected to the ATA controller, and so on.

When you install the Adaptec SC SI Card 39320D and SCSI disk drives in a computer that boots from a non-SCSI disk drive, the computer will continue to boot from the non-SCSI disk drive unless you change the computer’s CMOS configuration. You do not need to change the configuration if you just want to use the SCSI drives for additional file storage space.

2-3

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

If your computer’s motherboard BIOS supports the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) feature, you can select a different boot device without much difficulty. (To determine if the motherboard BIOS supports BBS, read the computer documentation or contact your motherboard manufacturer.)

The following table shows wh at to do, after you physically install the SCSI card and SCSI devices, to use different kinds of disk drives in the same computer:

Does computer BIOS support BBS?

drive.

and non-SCSI drives can b e used together.

select SCSI drive as boot device. SCSI drives and non-SCSI dr iv es can be used together.

Installing Multiple SCSI Cards

■ You can install multiple SCSI cards in your computer; you are

limited only by the available system resources (for example, IRQ settings, I/O port addr e sses, BIOS addresses, and so forth).

■ Each SCSI card you install forms a separate SCSI bus with a

different set of SCSI devices. SCSI IDs can be reused as long as the ID is assigned to a device on a different SCSI card (for example, each SCSI card can have a device with SCSI ID 2).

2-4

Using the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D and SCSI Devices

■ If you have two or more SCSI cards and your computer boots

from a SCSI disk drive, leave the host adapter BIOS enabled on the SCSI card to which the boot disk drive is connected. Use SCSISelect to disable the host adapter BIOS on the other SCSI cards.

■ If you have two or more SCSI cards, you can choose which SCSI

card is found first by your system by physically changing the order of the SCSI cards in the PCI slots. Your system scans the PCI slots in a set order.

Connecting the LED Connector

(Optional feature) Most computers have an LED disk activity light on the front panel of the system case. If you choose to disconnect the cable from the LED connector on the motherboard and connect it to the LED connector on the SCSI card as shown in the figure below, the LED on the front panel of the computer w ill light whenever there is activity on the SCSI bus.

Note: If you connect the LED cable to the SCSI card, the LED disk activity light will no longer ind ica te di sk activity on the non-SCSI disk drives.

Overriding SCSI Termination Settings

You use SCSISelect to control the termination of the two SCS I channels on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D. The default termination setting for both channels is Automatic. This setting allows the SCSI card to adjust SCSI termination automaticall y, depending on which connectors have SCSI devices attached to them.

Regardless of the SCSISelect termination setting, the SCSI card termination is always disabled when the power is turned off. If you want SCSI card termination to be enabled when the power is turned off, you must terminate the SCSI channels manually.

To manually terminate Channel A, place a shunt o n jumper J4. To manually terminate Channel B, place a shunt on jumper J5. The following figure shows where the jumpers are located on the SCSI card.

Note: If you manually terminate the SCSI card with jumpers, you will override the SCSISelect setting. Making changes in SCSISelect will have not effect on termination when these jumpers are installed.

2-6

Using the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D and SCSI Devices

You might want to manually terminate the SCSI card if the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D is connected to one or more external SCSI devices that are also connected to a SCSI card in another computer . The devices can be shar ed betwe en the two computers if one SCSI card is terminated when it is powered off, while the computer with the other SCSI card is using the SCSI devices.

Connecting SCSI Devices

Here are some examples of how you can connect internal and external SCSI devices to the Adaptec S CSI Car d 39 320D. Attach the first device to the end connector of the cable (furthest from the SCSI card); attach other devices to the connectors that are closer to the SCSI card.

The following figure shows Ultra320/Ultra160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices connected to internal and external SCSI connectors of both SCSI channels. Note the built-in terminator at the end of the internal LVD SCSI cable. The last external SCSI device on each SCSI channel must be terminated with an LVD/SE terminator plug to ensure that all devices will operate properly.

SCSISelect, which is included with the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D, enables you to change SCSI settings without opening the computer or handling the card. SCSISelect also enables you to low-level format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard disk drives. The following table lists the available and default settings for each SCSISelect option. The settings marked as “Auto-sync” are automatically synchronized for both SCSI channels—for example, if you change the Boot Channel option to B First on Channel A, the change will apply to Channel B as well. All other options can be set separately for each of the two SCSI channels.

■ SCSI Controller Parity—(Default: Enabled) SCSI cards perform

parity checking to verify the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Most currently available SCSI devices support parity checking. However, if a device on the SCSI bus does not support parity checking, disable this option. This setting changes parity for the entire SCSI controller and the way it looks at each ID on that controller. You cannot mix devices that do and do not support parity checking on the same SCSI bus.

■ SCSI Controller Termination—(Default: Automatic)

Determines the termination setting for the SCSI card. The default setting is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the termination as needed. We recommend that you do not change this setting.

Boot Device Configuration Options – BBS Systems Only

Select Master SCSI Controller—Enables the user to select the boot SCSI card. The master SCSI card do es not necessarily h ave to be the same as the boot SCSI card.

3-4

Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D with SCSISelect

Boot Device Configuration – Non-BBS Systems Only

■ Select Master SCSI Controller—(Default: A First) Specifies

which of the two SCSI channels the boot device is connected to (if the computer boots from a SCSI device). If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels.

■ Boot SCSI ID—(Default: 0) Specifies the SCSI ID of your boot

device. We recommend that you do not change the default setting. If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels.

■ Boot LUN Number—(Default: 0) Specifies which LUN (Logical

Unit Number) to boot from on your boot device. This setting is not valid unless Multiple LUN Support is enabled (see Advanced

Configuration Options on page 3-7). If you change this sett ing,

the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels.

SCSI Device Configuration Options

SCSI Device Configuration options can be set individually for each connected SCSI device.

Note: To configure settings for a SCSI device, you must know its SCSI ID (see Using SCSI Disk Utilities on page 3-15).

■ Sync Transfer Rate—(Default: 320) Determines the maximum

synchronous data transfer rate that the SCSI card supports. We recommend that you leave the maximum (default) value of 320 MB/sec.

■ Packetized—(Default:Yes) Packetized protocol is required to

operate at 320 MB/sec. When enabled, this option is available if it is implemented in the device drivers. However, this option is not supported by the BIOS.

■ QAS—(Default:Yes) Quick Arbitration and Selection reduces

the overhe ad of control rel eas e on the SCSI bus from one device to another. This improvement reduces command overhead and maximizes bus utilization. When enabled, this option is available if it is implemented in the device drivers. However, this option is not supported by the BIOS.

3-5

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

■ Initiate Wide N egotiation—(Default: Yes) Enables the SCSI

controller to initiate Wide Negotiation with the SCSI target. When set to Yes, the SCSI card attempts 16-bit data transfer (wide negotiation). When set to No, the SCSI card uses 8-bit data transfer unless the SCSI device requests wide negotiation.

Note: Set Initiate Wide Negotiation to No if you are using an 8-bit SCSI device that hangs or exhibits other performance problems with 16-bit data transfer rate enabled.

■ Enable Disconnection—(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, Enable

Disconnection allows the SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. When set to No, the SCSI device cannot disconnect from the SCSI bus. Leave the setting at Yes if two or more SCSI devices are connected to the SCSI card. If only one SCSI device is connected, changing the setting to No results in slightly better performance.

■ Send Start Unit Command—(Default: Yes) When set to Yes,

sends the Start Unit Command to the SCSI device at bootup. This reduces the load on a computer’s power supply by allowing the SCSI card to turn on SCSI devices one-by-one when the computer boots; otherwise, all SCSI devices turn on at the same time.

Note: Check the device documentation to make sure the device supports the command. On most devices, you must also change a switch or jumper setting on the device to enable the device to respond to the command.

The following options have no effect if the SCSI card BIOS is disabled. (The SCSI card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)

■ BIOS Multiple LUN Support—(Default: No) Leave this setting

at No if the device does not have multiple LUNs. When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS provides boot support for a SCSI device with multiple LUNs (for example, a CD “juke box” device in which multiple CDs can be accessed sim ultaneously).

3-6

Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D with SCSISelect

■ Include in BIOS Scan—(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI

card BIOS controls the SCSI device if it is a n INT 13 device (such as a SCSI disk drive) without device driver software. When set to No, the SCSI card BIOS does not control the SCSI device and device driver software is required. The BIOS can support up to eight INT 13 devices without an additional device driver.

Advanced Configuration Options

Note: Do not change the Advanced Configuration Optio ns

unless absolutely necessary and you thoroughly understand the consequences of the change.

■ Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization—(Default: Enabled) When

set to Enabled, the BIOS resets the SCSI bus at POST time and then waits two seconds before scann ing the bus for SCSI devices. If this option is disabled, the SCSI card BIOS does not issue a SCSI reset and there is no two-second delay.

■ Display <Ctrl> <A> Messages during BIOS Initialization—

(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS displays the Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect (TM) Util ity! message on your screen during system bootup. If this setting is disabled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears. If you change this setting, the change automaticall y applies to both SCSI channels.

■ Extended INT 13 Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte—

(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GB. This setting is necessary only for current versions of MS-DOS; it is not required for other operating systems, such as NetWare or UNIX.

Caution: Changing the translation scheme destroys all data

on the drive. Be sure to back up your disk drives before changing the translation scheme.

3-7

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

When partitioning a disk larger than 1 GB, use the MS-DOS Screen Message utility as you normally would. Beca use the cylinder size increases to 8 MB under extended translation, the partition size you choose mu st be a multiple of 8 MB. If you request a si ze that is not a multiple of 8 MB, Screen Messag e rounds up to the nearest whole multiple of 8 MB.

■ Post Display Mode—(Default: Verbose) During POST, the

amount of information displayed depends on the mode. If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels. The following modes are available:

■ Verbose—The results of the SCSI bus scan are displayed, but

the results of the PCI bus scan are not displayed.

■ Silent—Nothing is displayed about POST, not even the

Adaptec banner. However, error messages are displayed if there is a problem on the SCSI bus or SCSI devices.

■ Diagnostic—The PCI and SCSI bus scan results are displayed

separately. There is a pause between PCI and SCSI scans.

■ SCSI Controller INT 13 Support—(Default: Enabled) This

option controls the state of the BIOS at POST time. The following settings are available:

■ Enabled—Supports INT 13 for booting from a SCSI hard disk

drive connected to the SCSI card. If you use this option, the following options are available:

■ Extended INT 13 Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GB

■ Support Removable Disks Under INT 13 as Fixed Disks

■ BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM

■ Disabled:NOT Scan—Set to this option if the devices on the

SCSI bus (for example, CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.

■ Disabled:Scan Bus—Set to this option if the devices on the

SCSI bus (for example, CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.

3-8

Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D with SCSISelect

The following options have no effect if the SCSI card BIOS is disabled. (The SCSI card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)

■ Domain Validation—(Default: Enabled) Determines the optimal

transfer rate for each device on the SCSI bus and sets transfer rates accordingly. When enabled, this option is available if it is implemented in the device drivers. However, this option is not supported by the BIOS. If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to bot h S C SI channels.

■ Support Removable Disks Under INT 13 as Fixed Disks—

(Default: Disabled) Determines which removable-media drives are supported by the SCSI card BIOS. The options are as follows:

■ Disabled— No removable-media drives running under

DOS are treated as hard disk drives. Software drivers are required because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS.

Caution: You ma y lose data if you remove a removable-

media cartridge from a SCSI drive controlled by the SCSI card BIOS while the drive is on. If you want to be able to remove the media while the drive is on, install the removable-media software driver and set Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks to Disabled.

■ Boot Only—Only the removable-media drive designat ed as

the boot device is treated as a hard disk drive.

■ All Disks—All removable-media drives supported by the

BIOS are treated as hard disk drives. This setting has no effect on drives under NetWare because NetWare automatically supports removable-media drives as hard disk drives.

Note: The Boot Only and All Disks options are available only if the SCSI Controller BIOS option is enabled.

3-9

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

■ BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM—(Default: Enabled)

When set to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS allows the computer to boot from a CD-ROM drive. If booting from a hard disk or other device, make sure no bootable CD is inserted, or disable this option.

Changing Configuration Settings

The factory default settings for Adaptec SCSI cards are correct for most computers. However, if you need to change the settings for the SCSI card or a SCSI device:

1 If you have not yet installed the SCSI card and the SCSI devices,

do so now. Refer to your SCSI card Installation Guide for details.

2 Start SCSISelect. See Starting SCSISelec t on page 3-3.

If a device does not show up in SCSISelect, check these items first:

■ Is the device attached to the SCSI cable?

■ Is there power to the device?

■ Does the device have a unique SCSI ID?

If two devices are on the same ID and are on the same bus, only one device or neither of the devices may show up. To correct this, make sure that each device has a unique SCSI ID.

4 Use the

↑ and ↓ keys to move the cursor to a specific ID and

Verifying or Formatting a Disk

SCSISelect includes a utility that enables you to fo rmat and verify disks:

■ Verify Disk Media—Allows you to scan the media of a hard

disk drive for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks on the media, it prompts you to reassign them so they are no longer used.

■ Format Disk—Allows you to perform a low-level format on a

hard disk drive. A disk must be low-level formatted before you can use the operating system’s partitioning and high-level formatting utilities. Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory and do not need to be formatted again. If a drive is not preformatted, you can use SCSISelect to perform a low-level format on the drive.This operation is compatible with most SCSI disk drives.

Caution: A low-level format destroys all data on the drive.

Be sure to back up your data before performing this operation. You cannot abort a low-level format once it is started.

3-16

Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D with SCSISelect

Caution: When a low-level format command is sent to the

hard disk drive, the drive will start its format. The SCSI card will not be in use and may appear to be hung. You must not interfere or try to stop the low-level format as this can destroy the disk drive and render it unusable. When the drive has completed its low-level format, it will send a command to the SCSI card and allow the user to exit the utility.

To use SCSISelect to format or verify a disk: 1 Start SCSISelect. See Starting SCSISelect on page 3-3.

SCSISelect detects all Adaptec SCSI cards and displays the model number, channel letter, slot number, and PCI address for each card and channel.

2 Select the SCSI card and channel that has the devices you want

to format or verify. The Options menu appears.

3 Select SCSI Disk Utilities. SCSISelect scans the SCSI bus and

lists the SCSI IDs and associated devices on the SCSI bus.

4 From the list of SCSI devices, select the device you want to

format or verify.

5 If the de vice has multiple logical units, a menu of LUNs

appears. Select the LUN of the unit you want to format or verify. A small menu appears.

6 Select Verify Disk Media or Format Disk.

■ If you select Verify Disk Media, SCSISelect notifies you of

bad blocks and prompts you to reassign them. Select Yes to reassign the bad blocks or No to leave them as is. You can press Esc at any time to abort verification.

■ If you select Format Disk, a prompt appears, asking you to

confirm that you want to format the disk. Select Yes to start formatting the disk, or No to cancel formatting.

Using Advance d Configuration Parameter s

Advanced users may use software parameters to alter the configuration of the Windows 2000 device drivers supplied by Adaptec. All Windows 200 0 configuration information is stored in a data structure supplied by Windows 2000, called the Registry. You can edit this information through a tool called the Registry Editor.

Caution: Do not edit your Registry unless it is absolutely

necessary. If there is an error in your Registry, your computer may become nonfunctional.

Using Windows 2000 SCSI Parameters

Follow the instructions below to enter the registry values that affect how the Windows 2000 SCSI manager interprets the generic configuration information of SCSI device drivers. Each driver has its own key reference in the Registry. In this example, the Ultra320 key is used ( modified key are affected by the values you enter here. A list of valid values follows:

Installing a New Host Adapter after Windows 2000 Is Already Installed

To install a new host adapter after Windows 2000 is already installed:

1 Make sure your system is shut down and the power is off. 2 Install the new host adapt er. 3 Start Windows 2000. When the hardware wizard detects the

card, click Yes to con tinue the installation.

4 Select the Have Disk button. When prompted, insert the

Ultra320 FMS driver floppy disk for Windows 2000 into the floppy disk drive, enter the following path, then click OK.

a:\win2000

5 The driver is now installed.

Removing a Host Adapter

Removing a host adapter can be as simple as ph ysically removing it from the slot when your computer is shut down. See the documentation for your host adapter for more information. Windows 2000 starts and functions properly in this con figuration.

Note: Windows 2000 Setup does not delete the device driver from your system disk; it only updates Windows 2000 software configuration information so that the device driver is no longer loaded during system startup.

4-8

Installing Windows 2000

Swapping a Host Adapter

Swapping a SCSI host adapter for another SCSI host adapter is similar to the procedure for adding a host adapter. The important distinction is that you add the new SCSI adapter into the system first, before removing the old adapter.

Note: If you do not install the ne w host adapter first, it may result in a Windows 2000 boot failure. If the operating system fails to start, remove the new host adapter and replace the original.

To swap adapters:

1 Turn off your computer.

Warning: Turn power to the computer to the OFF position,

and disconnect the power cord.

2 Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the

SCSI adapter by touching a grounded metal object.

3 Insert the new SCSI adapter into an available PCI slot, leaving

the existing SCSI card intact.

4 Turn on your computer. Windows 2000 should load up as

normal and detect the new SCSI card. Install the Windows 2000 driver if prompted to.

5 Res tart your computer if prompted to. 6 Once the new SCSI adapter is functioning properly, turn off

your computer.

7 Remove the old SCSI adapter and move all desired devices to

the new adapter. See Removing a Host Adapter on page 4-8, for more information.

8 Restart the computer and all attached devices should be

recognized.

Installing the Driver When Installing Windows NT

The adpu320.sys driver is not embedded on the Win dows NT 4.0 installation disk and must be added during Windows NT 4.0 installation.

Note: Adaptec recommends that you ins t all Windows NT 4.0 onto a hard disk with a primary active FAT 16 partition, 2 GB or smaller. Once Windows NT 4.0 is installed and configured properly, you can use Microsoft's Disk Administrator to convert the drive to NTFS. This minimizes the number of variables involved during the installation process and therefore reduces the possibility of problems.

Note: In order to add or remove SCSI controllers from Windows NT you must be logged on as Adminstrator.

Installing Windows NT 4.0

Using Advanced Configuration Parameters

Advanced users may use software parameters to alter the configuration of the Windows NT 4.0 device drivers supplied by Adaptec. All Windows NT 4.0 configuration information is stored in a data structure called the Registry. You can edit this information through a tool called the Re gistry Editor.

Caution: Do not edit your Registry unless it is absolutely

necessary. If there is an error in your Registry, your computer may become nonfunctional.

Using Windows NT 4.0 SCSI Parameters

Follow the instructions below to enter the registry values that affect how the Windows NT 4.0 SCSI manager interprets the generic configuration information of SCSI device drivers. All SCSI host adapters installed in your system are affected by the values you enter here. A list of valid values follows:

Note: The following value keys are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.

■ DisableSynchronousTransfers — A nonzero value indicate s

that the SCSI host adapter is not to initiate synchronous negotiations (but it may still a ccept negotiations initiated by a SCSI target). The data type for this value is

■ MaximumLogicalUnit — This can limit the scan for connected

devices on the SCSI bus. Valid values are 0 to 32. If 1 is specified, the Windows NT 4.0 SCSI manager assumes that no SCSI targets support LUNs other than 0. Otherwise, LUNs from 0 to 32 are scanned during system initialization. The data type for this value is

■ Maximum SGList — Specifies the maximum n u mber of

Scatter/Gather elements. Valid values are 2-255. The data type for this value is

REG_DWORD.

REG_SZ.

Removing a host adapte r can be as simple as physically removing it from the slot when your computer is shut down. Windows NT 4.0 starts and functions properly in this configuration, but a Warning message is generated every time you start Windows NT 4.0.

Caution: If you have removed a host adapter but still have

other host adapters of the same type installed in your computer, do not use Windows NT 4.0 Setup to remove the device driver.

To eliminate the Warning message, you must update the Windows NT 4.0 software configuration, as described below:

Installing Windows NT 4.0

Swapping a Host Adapter

Swapping an Ultra320 Fa mi ly h ost adapter for a non-Ultra320 host adapter is similar to the procedure for adding a host adapter. The important distinction is that you make all software configuration changes while Windows NT 4.0 is running and before you make the hardware changes.

Note: If you do not install the driver that comes with the new host adapter, it may result in a Windows NT 4.0 boot failure.

To swap adapters: 1 Install the driver for the Ultra320 Family host adapter by

following the steps in Installing the Driver When Windows NT 4.0

is Already Installed on page 5-4.

It is not essential to remove the device driver for the host adapter you are replacing. Windows NT 4.0 dynamically detects the absence or presence of host adapter hardware, and no problems should arise if you leave the existing device driver installed. You may remove the device driver later, after you have successfully restarted Windows NT 4.0. However, if you leave the driver installed, the system alerts you with an error message of the extra device driver every time you start your computer . See Removing a Host Adapter on page 5-9.

2 Once the new device driver is installed, shut down

Windows NT 4.0 and replace the existing host adapter with the Ultra320 Family host adapter.

3 Restart your computer and Windows NT 4.0. It is possible that

some drive letter assignments may change from the previous configuration.

Installing Windows XP

Using Advanced Configuration Parameters

Advanced users may use software parameters to alter the configuration of the Windows XP device dr ivers supplied by Adaptec. All Windows XP configuration inf ormation is stored in a data structure supplied by Windows XP, called the Registry. You can edit this information through a tool called the Registry Editor.

Caution: Do not edit your Registry unless it is absolutely

necessary. If there is an error in your Registry, your computer may become nonfunctional.

Using Windows XP SCSI Parameters

Follow the instructions below to enter the registry values that affect how the Windows XP SCSI manager interprets the generic configuration information of SCSI devi ce drivers . Each driver has its own key reference in the Registry. In this example, the Ultra320 key is used ( modified key are affected by the values you enter here. A list of valid values follows:

Note: The following value keys are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.

■ MaximumLogicalUnit—This can limit the scan for connected

devices on the SCSI bus. Valid values are 0 to 32. If 1 is specified, the Windows XP SCSI manager assumes that no SCSI targets support LUNs other than 0. Otherwise, LUNs from 0 to 32 are scanned during system initialization. The data type for this value is REG_DWORD.

■ MaximumSGList—Specifies the maximum number of Scatter/

Gather elements. Valid values are 2-255. The data type for this value is REG_DWORD.

Using Driver-Specific Parameters

Follow the instructions below to enter the registry values that affect the configuration information for Adaptec SCSI PCI device drivers. Each driver has its own key reference in the registry. In this example, the Ultra3 20 k ey is used (adpu320). All SCSI host adapters supported by the modified key are affected by the values you enter here. A list of valid parameters follows:

Note: The following parameters are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown. When entering multiple parameters, each parameter must be separated by a space.

■ /MAXTAGS=nnn—specifies the tagged command queue

depth. If a number is not specified, the tagged queue depth defaults to 128. Valid values are 1-255. The data type for this value is REG_SZ.

Removing a Host Adapter

Removing a host adapter can be as simple as ph ysically removing it from the slot when your computer is shut down. See the documentation for your host adapter for more information. Windows XP starts and functions properly in this configuration.

Note: Windows XP Setup does not delete the device driver from your system disk; it only updates Windows XP software configuration informa tion so that the device driver is no longer loaded during system startup.

6-8

Installing Windows XP

Swapping a Host Adapter

Swapping a SCSI host adapter for another SCSI host adapter is similar to the procedure for adding a host adapter. The important distinction is that you add the new SCSI host adapter into the system first, before removing the old adapter.

Note: If you do not install the ne w host adapter first, it may result in a Windows XP boot failure. If the operating system fails to start, remove the new host adapter and replace the original.

To swap adapters:

1 Turn off your computer.

Warning: Turn power to the computer to the OFF position,

and disconnect the power cord.

2 Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the

SCSI adapter by touching a grounded metal object.

3 Insert the new SCSI adapter into an available PCI slot, leaving

the existing SCSI card intact.

4 Turn on your computer. Windows XP should load up as normal

and detect the new SCSI card. Install the Windows XP driver if prompted to.

5 Res tart your computer if prompted to. 6 Once the new SCSI adapter is functioning properly, turn off

your computer.

7 Remove the old SCSI adapter and move all desired devices to

the new adapter. See Removing a Host Adapter on page 6-8, for more information.

8 A ll attached devices should be recognized.

Using NetW are and the Host Adapter

This section contains useful information on using NetWare and your host adapter.

Using Removable Media

The adpu320.ham driver module fully supports removable-media disk drives, including magneto-optical drives. Removable media is treated as a standard SCSI hard disk, with some exceptions:

■ The driver recognizes and registers only media with

512 bytes/sector.

■ NetWare allows you to mount/dismount the media and to

lock/unloc k the media.

NetWare’s monitor.nlm program supports several removable-media options. To view and configure these options:

1 Load monitor.nlm to display the various options. 2 Select Disk Information. All system disk drives appear. 3 Select the removable-media device. The following drive status

items appear:

Installing Novell NetWare

Mount Status

Mounting causes a drive to come online as a NetWare storage device. Dismounted drives are inactive and cannot be accessed.

Before you eject your current media, you should first Dismount it (menu choice 5). When the media status is Dismounted, you can eject the media. However, NetWare does not allow you to dismount it if the media is locked.

To insert your new media, wait for the drive to spin-up, and then select the Drive Mount option.

Lock Status

If your removable-media device supports the Lock/Unlock feature, you can lock the media (menu choice 6). The media must be in the Not Locked state before you can eject it. If the media is Locked, it cannot be ejected when you press the Eject button.

Using the NetWare Tape Backup

being attached (for example, even if the tape drive is manufactured by Wangtek, do not select the Wangtek driver).

Note: Novell also includes a driver called adaptec.nlm. This driver is not needed and should not be loaded. Adaptec’s driver module takes advantage of ASPI interface features bypassed by adaptec.nlm.

Novell publishes a list of SCSI tape drives supported by

sbackup.nlm.

Using a CD with NetWare

Netware 4.2

To use a CD with NetWare 4.2, follow these instructions: 1 Load

adpu320.ham by entering the following line:

:load [pathname]adpu320

2 The

scsicd.cdm driver will auto-load if the device(s) are

detected.

Note: For multiple LUN CDs, enable multiple LUN scanning with the lun_enable switch (for example, load adpu320 lun_enable=FF). The lun_enable switch is needed for

adpu320.ham. Type the following line at the

prompt: scan all luns

3 Enter the following line at the prompt, then note the number

and name of the CD:

:cd device list

4 Enter the number or volume name of the CD at the command

line:

:cd mount [x] [name]

5 Edit the

startup.ncf file to include the load commands in Step 1

and 2 above, if auto-mounting devices.

Optimizing Performance

The Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI Bus Master firmware increases the SCSI performance of the Adaptec Ultra320 host adapters under multitasking environments. The firmware uses a paging mechanism to handle up to 255 simultaneous SCSI commands. The sequencer can simultaneously manage up to 128 tagged, or 1 nontagged, SCSI commands for each SCSI device, up to a limit of 255 SCSI commands. The firmware can queue as many commands as the operating system is able to send to the host adapter. To set this feature, enter the following command:

max_tags=n

7-11

Adaptec SCSI Card 39320D User’s Guide for Floppy Disks (OEM)

In general, a low number of max_tags gives better sequential performance, and a high number a better random performance.

Note: A large number of max_tags can also cause starvation problems leading to deactivation with some drives.
