Introduction
Controller Features
Features of the eXtremeRAID 2000 controller include:
• Up to four Ultra 160 SCSI channels that support RAID levels 0, 1, 3, 5,
0+1, 10, 30, and 50.
• Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) Wide Ultra 160 SCSI (Fast 80). The
controller also supports single-ended, SCSI 1, SCSI 2, Ultra SCSI, and
Ultra2 devices.
• High performance 233 MHz RISC processor and 32 MB, 64 MB,
128 MB, or 256 MB SDRAM cache (with ECC) on a full-length,
64-bit PCI version 2.2 standard controller.
• Memory module (BDIMM) with memory, battery backup, and circuitry
for monitoring the battery condition.
• 1 MB, 8-bit flash EEPROM for BIOS and code.
• Built-in configuration utilities (in BIOS).
• Supports controller redundancy using a shared SCSI bus in a clustering
configuration.
• PCI Hot Plug capability allows the eXtremeRAID 2000 to be swapped
with a replacement without powering down the system.
Caution
Be sure the motherboard you are using supports PCI
Hot Plug (PCI 2.2 compliant) before attempting to use
this feature, or serious damage to the controller and/or
the motherboard could result.
• Write-through and write-back cache support.
☛Note
If the clustering feature is enabled, write-back should
NOT be enabled. However, if clustering is disabled,
the write-back can be either on or off.
Operating System Support
MS-DOS 5.x, 6.x, and above are supported up to an 8 GB volume using
drivers that reside in the eXtremeRAID 2000 BIOS. Many other popular
operating systems are supported using software drivers in the Disk Array
Controller Software Kit that is included with the controller (see the
PCI Disk Array Controller Drivers Installation Guide and User Manual).

Installation
This chapter describes:
• Preparation
• Connectors, jumpers, and LEDs
• Controller installation procedures
• SCSI termination guidelines
• SCSI cabling guidelines
Preparing for Installation
Installing the eXtremeRAID 2000 PCI to Ultra 160 SCSI RAID controller is
no more difficult than installing any PCI controller. Follow these steps and
the installation procedures in this chapter.
WARNING
Working with the system covers off and power
applied to the system can result in shock and
serious injury .
1. Read all of the instructions in this chapter completely before proceeding. Follow the Notes, Cautions, and W arnings described in this manual
and marked on the equipment.
2. Power off the system and disconnect the power cables before starting
the installation.
3. Follow electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures. Use grounded
wrist straps or ESD-safe footwear, and work in an ESD-safe area.
4. Perform a safety check of the installation before powering on the
system.
• Make sure that all of the cabling Pin 1 locations are correct and that
all cables are firmly seated in the connectors.
• Make sure all SCSI conventions (cable type, cable length, and
termination) are correct.

Connectors, Jumpers, and LEDs
Connectors, Jumpers, and LEDs
Up to four Ultra 160 SCSI channels are supported on the contro ller. Figure
2-1 shows SCSI connector locations.
All the jumpers should normally be set to their default settings. Table 2-1
contains default jumper settings. Figure 2-1 shows jumper locations.
The controller has 19 LEDs which are active indicators while the controller
is running. The LEDs indicate termination type and status, SCSI activity,
cache status, diagnostic status, and host activity. Figure 2-1 shows LED
locations and meanings.

Controller Installation Procedures
Controller Installation Procedures
This section describes how to install the Mylex eXtremeRAID 2000
controller.
Caution
Anti-static handling procedures are required. Leave
the controller in its anti-static bag until it is time to
plug the controller into the PCI slot. The use of a
grounded wrist strap and other ESD protective
measures are highly recommended.
WARNING
Disconnect the system from the electrical wall
outlet before opening the system cabinet. Working
with the system covers off and power applied to the
system can result in shock and serious injury.
To install the controller, follow these steps:
1. Power off the system and all enclosures.
2. Disconnect system and enclosure power cords.
3. Remove the covers or the cabinet as necessary to access the I/O slots on
the system board.
4. Choose a vacant PCI slot and remove the metal cover plate from the
slot’s access port (usually at the back of the cabinet). Sav e the retaining
screw.
