2 FAStT Host Adapter Installation and User's Guide
Chapter 1. Hardware overview
The IBM FAStT Host Adapter is a high-performance, direct memory access
(DMA), bus-master, host adapter designed for high-end systems. The function and
performance are derived from the ISP2200A chip, making this FAStT Host Adapter
a leading-edge host adapter.
The ISP2200A chip combines a powerful RISC processor, a Fibre Channel protocol
manager (FPM) with gigabit transceivers, and a 64-bit peripheral component
interconnect (PCI) local bus interface in a single-chip solution. The IBM FAStT
Host Adapter supports all Fibre Channel (FC) peripheral devices that support
private-loop direct attach (PLDA) and fabric-loop attach (FLA).
What is Fibre Channel?
Fibre Channel technology is outlined in the Information Systems - Fibre Channel
Protocol for SCSI (small computer system interface - FCP) standard, revision 12,
30 May 1995. Fibre Channel is a high-speed data transport technology used for
mass storage and networking. The IBM FAStT Host Adapter connects:
Mainframe computers
Super computers
Workstations
Storage devices
Servers
Using a Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL), 126 devices can be supported,
compared to 15 devices with Ultra SCSI.
Fibre Channel supports data transfer rates of 100 MB per second, which is more
than twice that of Ultra SCSI (40 MB per second). A multimode optical interface is
used for distances up to 500 meters. With increased connectivity and performance,
Fibre Channel is the technology preferred and used by system designers.
Fibre Channel adapter features
Fibre Channel adapter features include:
Compliance with Third Generation Fibre Channel Physical and Signaling
Interface - 3 (PC-PH-3), revision 9.2
Compliance with Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL-2) standard
Compliance with Intel PCI version 2.2 specification
Compliance with U.S. and international safety and emissions standards
Support for bus-master DMA
Fast!UTIL basic input/output system (BIOS) utility program to customize the
configuration parameters on the IBM FAStT Host Adapter and attached drives
Supports Fibre Channel SCSI (FCP-SCSI) and internet protocol (IP) protocols
Supports point-to-point fabric connection (F-PORT FABRIC LOGIN)
Supports Fibre Channel service (Classes 2 and 3)

Chapter 2. Installing the adapter
This chapter contains instructions for preparing and installing the IBM FAStT Host
Adapter.
Preinstallation procedures
Before you begin
Read “Handling static-sensitive devices.”
Read “What you need for the installation.”
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To
avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective package until
you are ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static
electricity from the package and from your body.)
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it in its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your system unit cover
or on a metal table.
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather because
heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
What you need for the installation
To install the IBM FAStT Host Adapter in your server, you need an optical,
multimode cable with an SC-style duplex connector.

ISP2200
Installing the IBM FAStT Host Adapter
Before you begin the installation, write down the serial number of the IBM FAStT
Host Adapter. In the event that the nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM)
is damaged, the system will prompt you for the IBM FAStT Host Adapter serial
number.
Attention: To avoid damage to your fiber-optic cables, follow these guidelines:
Do not route the cable along a folding cable-management arm.
When attaching fiber-optic cables to a device on slide rails, leave enough slack
in the cables so that they do not bend to a radius smaller than 76 mm (3 in.)
when extended or become pinched when retracted.
Route the cable away from places where it can snag on other devices in the
rack.
Do not over tighten the cable straps or bend the cables to a radius smaller than
76 mm (3 in.).
Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point and be sure that
the cable is well supported.
Follow these steps to install the IBM FAStT Host Adapter in your server:
1. Check the system board and make any configuration changes needed to
accommodate the IBM FAStT Host Adapter.
2. Turn off the peripheral devices, then the server.
3. Disconnect the power cords.
4. Remove the server cover.
5. Remove the slot cover.
6. Choose any PCI bus slot that supports 32 or 64-bit adapters. You can install
the adapter in a 64-bit PCI slot if one is available. If a 64-bit slot is not
available, then you can use a 32-bit PCI slot.
7. Align the adapter with the expansion slot. Carefully press the adapter into the
slot until it is fully seated.

22 FAStT Host Adapter Installation and User's Guide
Appendix A. Fast!UTIL
This appendix provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who
want to customize the configuration of the IBM FAStT Host Adapter and the
connected devices. You can configure the adapter using the Fast!UTIL utility.
Access Fast!UTIL by pressing Alt+Q during the adapter BIOS initialization (it might
take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to appear). If you have more than one
IBM FAStT Host Adapter, Fast!UTIL prompts you to select the adapter you want to
configure. After changing the settings, Fast!UTIL restarts your system to load the
new parameters.
Attention: If the configuration settings are incorrect, your IBM FAStT Host Adapter
will not function properly.
Each host adapter has a unique serial number. Take a minute to write down the
serial number of the FAStT Host Adapter. In the event that the nonvolatile random
access memory (NVRAM) is damaged (see “Scan Fibre Channel devices” on
page 28), you will be prompted for the IBM FAStT Host Adapter serial number.
Fast!UTIL options
This section describes the Fast!UTIL options.
Configuration settings
This is the first option on the Fast!UTIL Options menu. These settings configure
the Fibre Channel (FC) devices and the IBM FAStT Host Adapter to which they are
attached.
Host adapter settings
You can access this option from the Configuration Settings menu. The current
default settings for the host adapter are listed in Table 1 and are described
immediately following the table.
Note: The host adapter settings and default values will vary, based on the version
of BIOS code installed for the adapter.
Table 1. Host adapter settings
Setting Options Default

Frame size 512, 1024, 2048 2048
Loop reset delay 0–15 seconds 5 seconds
Adapter hard loop ID Enabled or Disabled Enabled
Hard loop ID 0–125 125
Host adapter BIOS: When this option is set to Disabled, the ROM BIOS on
the IBM FAStT Host Adapter is disabled, freeing space in upper memory. The
default is Disabled.
Copyright IBM Corp. 1998, 2002 23
Frame size: Specifies the maximum frame length supported by the IBM FAStT
Host Adapter. The default size is 2048. If you are using F-Port (point-to-point)
connections, the default is best for maximum performance.
Loop reset delay: After resetting the loops, the firmware does not initiate any
loop activity for the number of seconds specified in this setting. The default is
5 seconds.
Adapter hard loop ID: Forces the adapter to use the ID specified in the Hard
Loop ID setting. The default is Enabled.
Hard loop ID: When the Adapter Hard Loop ID is set to Enabled, the adapter
uses the ID specified in this setting. The default ID is 125.
Selectable boot settings
You can access this option from the Configuration Settings menu. When this
option is set to Enabled, you can select the node name from which you want to
start up (boot). When this option is set to Disabled, the Boot ID and Boot LUN
parameters have no effect.
Note: This option applies only to disk devices; it does not apply to CD-ROMs,
tape drives, and other nondisk devices.
Adapter hard ID settings
You can access this option from the Configuration Settings menu. It forces the IBM
FAStT Host Adapter to use the selected hard ID (0–125).
Restore default settings
You can access this option from the Configuration Settings menu. It restores the
IBM FAStT Host Adapter default settings.
Raw NVRAM data
This option displays the adapter nonvolatile random access memory (NVRAM)
contents in hexadecimal format. This is a troubleshooting tool; you cannot modify
the data.
Advanced adapter settings
You can access this option from the Configuration Settings menu. The default
settings for the host adapter are listed in Table 2 on page 25 and are described
immediately following the table.
24 FAStT Host Adapter Installation and User's Guide

Execution throttle: Specifies the maximum number of commands executing
on any one port. When a port reaches its execution throttle, Fast!UTIL does
not run any new commands until the current command is completed. The valid
options for this setting are 1–256. The default (optimum) is 256.
Fast command posting: Decreases command execution time by minimizing
the number of interrupts. The default is Enabled.
>4GByte addressing: Enable this option when the system has more than 4
GB of memory available. The default is Disabled.
LUNs per target: Specifies the number of LUNs per target. Multiple logical
unit number (LUN) support is typically for redundant array of independent disks
(RAID) enclosures that use LUNs to map drives. The default is 8. If you do
not need multiple LUN support, set the number of LUNs to 0.
Enable LIP reset: Determines the type of loop initialization process (LIP) reset
that is used when the operating system initiates a bus reset routine. When this
option is set to Yes, the device driver initiates a global LIP reset to clear the
target device reservations. When this option is set to No, the device driver
initiates a global LIP reset with full login. The default is No.
Enable LIP full login: Instructs the ISP chip to log in to all ports after any LIP.
The default is Yes.
Enable target reset: Enables the drivers to issue a Target Reset command to
all devices on the loop when a SCSI Bus Reset command is issued. The
default is No.
Login retry count: Specifies the number of times the software tries to log in to
a device. The default is 30 retries.
Appendix A. Fast!UTIL 25
Port down retry count: Specifies the number of times the software retries a
command to a port that is returning port-down status. The default is 30 retries.
Drivers load RISC code: When this option is set to Enabled, the host adapter
uses the RISC firmware that is embedded in the software device driver. When
this option is set to Disabled, the software device driver loads the RISC
firmware found on the system. The default is Enabled.
Note: To load the embedded device driver software, the device driver being
loaded must support this setting. If the driver does not support this
setting, the result is the same as if this option is set to Disabled,
regardless of the setting. Leaving this option enabled ensures a
certified combination of software driver and RISC firmware.
Enable database updates: When this option is set to Enabled, it allows the
software to save the loop configuration information in flash memory as the
system powers down. The default is No.
Disable database load: When this option is set to Enabled, the device
database is read from the Registry during driver initialization. When this option
is set to Disabled, the device database is created dynamically during device
driver initialization. The default is No.
Note: This option usually applies to the Windows NT and Windows 2000
operating environments.
IOCB allocation: Specifies the maximum number of buffers from the firmware
buffer pool that are allocated to any one port. The default setting is 256
buffers.
Extended error logging: Provides additional error and debug information to
the operating system. When this option is set to Enabled, events are logged
into the Windows NT Event Viewer or Windows 2000 Event Viewer (depending
on the environment you are in). The default is Disabled.
Extended firmware settings

manage and install selected engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
Some parts of IBM Machines are designated as Customer Replaceable Units
(called “CRUs”), e.g., keyboards, memory, or hard disk drives. IBM ships CRUs to
you for replacement by you. You must return all defective CRUs to IBM within 30
days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. You are responsible for downloading
designated Machine Code and Licensed Internal Code updates from an IBM
Internet Web site or from other electronic media, and following the instructions that
IBM provides.
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or
your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours.
You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement
may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally
equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service
status of the replaced item. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the
removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will
assume the warranty service status of the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that
prevent its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided:
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides;
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine;
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations; and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.
Appendix D. Warranty information 39
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM's
possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary
or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your
reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine
prior to its return.
Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM's part or other
liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,
regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM
(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or
tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or limited by applicable
laws, IBM is liable for no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if recurring,
12 months' charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the claim. For
purposes of this item, the term “Machine” includes Machine Code and Licensed
Internal Code.
This limit also applies to IBM's suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum
for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:
1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES (OTHER THAN
THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE
TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT
DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOST
PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR YOUR
RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Governing Law
Both you and IBM consent to the application of the laws of the country in which you
acquired the Machine to govern, interpret, and enforce all of your and IBM's rights,
duties, and obligations arising from, or relating in any manner to, the subject matter
of this Agreement, without regard to conflict of law principles.
