Part 1: Quick installation guide

The IBM®PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter is designed to attach a small computer system interface (SCSI) to a computer that has an available peripheral component interconnect (PCI) expansion slot. After the adapter is installed, SCSI devices can be attached to the external SCSI connector. In addition to this User’s Guide, the option package contains:

v The 29160LP SCSI Adapter v One 68-pin, internal SCSI cable for connecting five 16-bit internal Wide

devices

v One 4-pin internal LED cable v The option CD, which contains the EZ-SCSI and 7800 Family Manager Set

device driver and utility packages

v The IBM Safety Information Book

This section contains abbreviated installation instructions. If you are familiar with SCSI products and are experienced in installing options, use these instructions. For a description of the SCSI adapter and more detailed information about how to install it see “Part 2: Installation and user’s guide” on page 2-1. To install the SCSI adapter, do the following:

1. Set a unique SCSI ID for each device you are connecting to the SCSI chain.

The adapter supports SCSI IDs from 0 to 15. The SCSI ID of the SCSI adapter is 7.

2. Turn off all attached devices; then turn off your computer. Unplug the

power cords and all attached devices. Remove the cover from your computer. For instructions on how to remove the computer cover, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

3. Before opening the static-protective bag containing the SCSI adapter, touch

the bag to an unpainted metal surface on your computer for at least two seconds.

4. Remove the adapter from the static-protective bag. If you must put the

adapter down, place it on the static-protective bag.

The following is an illustration of the SCSI adapter:

168-pin Internal LVD/SE Connector 468-pin External VHDCI Connector 2External LED connector 5mounting screws 3PCI bus card-edge connector 6bracket

5. Locate an available 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slot. These slots are

shorter than ISA or EISA slots.

6. If you have a newer, lower-profile computer, you will need to use the

smaller mounting bracket that comes with the adapter. To install it, reference the illustration and do the following:

a. Remove the mounting screws that attach the bracket to the adapter. b. Remove the standard bracket. c. Position the low-profile bracket on the bracket aligning the screw holes

in the bracket with the holes in the PCI adapter.

d. Insert the two screws and carefully tighten the screws. Do not

overtighten.

7. Remove the bracket screw and the metal expansion slot cover.

8. Insert the connector of the adapter, (P1 in the above illustration) into the

PCI connector.

9. Press the SCSI adapter into place and secure it with the bracket screw.

10. The internal SCSI cable included in this option package has an adaptive

terminator at the end. This terminator serves as the termination device for all SCSI devices that are attached to the cable. Remove or disable termination from all other devices on the SCSI cable.

11. If needed, set the SCSI adapter termination. Termination of the SCSI

adapter is controlled by software commands using the SCSISelect utility program. The initial termination setting for the SCSI adapter is Automatic. With this setting, the adapter detects the bus cables attached and sets proper termination settings. If you want to manually set the termination for the SCSI adapter, see “Appendix B. Using SCSISelect” on page B-1.

12. Mount and connect each internal SCSI device in your computer. Connect

the 68-pin cable into the connector for 16-bit Wide SCSI devices (J1 in the illustration of the adapter).

13. Connect the internal devices to available connectors starting at the end of

the SCSI cable farthest from the adapter and closest to the terminator to ensure best signal quality. For each device connect pin-1 on each cable connector to pin-1 on each device, otherwise your SCSI devices will not work correctly.

14. You can connect a light-emitting diode (LED) to indicate SCSI hard disk

drive activity. Unplug the LED cable from the connector on the computer system board. Connect the LED cable connector to the external LED connector on the SCSI adapter (J3 in the illustration of the adapter).

15. Connect the power cable for each device to the internal power source, as

needed. Replace and secure the cover on your computer.

16. If you have external SCSI devices, connect your external SCSI cable (not

provided with this option) to the external connector on the SCSI adapter (J5 in the illustration of the adapter) and then connect your external devices.

17. Reconnect the power cord and other cables. Turn on all attached devices;

then turn on your computer. If your computer does not recognize the SCSI adapter, start your configuration program and review and set the configuration options.

18. The initial SCSISelect adapter settings work for most computers with PCI

expansion slots. If you need more information about changing the initial settings, see “Appendix B. Using SCSISelect” on page B-1.

1-4 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

Part 2: Installation and user’s guide

Product description

The IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter is designed to attach SCSI devices to a computer that has an available peripheral component interconnect (PCI) expansion slot. You can connect up to 15 SCSI devices to the adapter (disk drives, CD drives, scanners, and other devices) in a daisy-chain fashion. The SCSI adapter can be used in place of, or together with, a standard IDE adapter.

If you need to configure the adapter, use the SCSISelect utility program that is built-in to the SCSI adapter. SCSISelect enables you to change the adapter settings without opening the computer or handling the adapter.

In addition to the User’s Guide, this option package contains the following:

v The SCSI 29160LP Adapter v One 68-pin, internal SCSI cable for connecting five 16-bit Wide SCSI devices v LED cable v The option CD which contains the EZ-SCSI and 7800 Family Manager Set

device driver and utility packages

v The IBM Safety Information Book

Before you begin

The adapter is sensitive to static electricity; even a mild discharge can destroy one or more of its components. Keep the adapter in its static-protective package until you are ready to install it in your computer. Before you handle the adapter, always discharge any charge that might have built up in you by touching an unpainted surface on your computer.

System requirements

In addition to this option package, you need the following:

v Personal computer that supports PCI Revision 2.0. v An available 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slot that is capable of bus

mastering. Some PCI-bus computers have both bus-mastering and non-bus mastering slots. Read your computer documentation to determine the type of PCI slots your computer has.

v Low voltage differential (LVD) or single-ended SCSI devices.

You might also need one or more of the following: v A 68-pin external SCSI cable for connecting each external 16-bit Wide SCSI

device.

v A termination device for external SCSI devices (if needed to terminate

external SCSI chain). To provide reliable SCSI device operation, use only an active terminator compatible with the type of devices you are using. For instance, if you are using all LVD SCSI devices, use an LVD termination device. If you have any devices on the external SCSI chain that are LVD devices, you can use both LVD and non-LVD termination devices.

Choosing SCSI cables

Round external SCSI cables vary widely in quality and electrical characteristics. Be sure that external SCSI cables meet LVD SCSI standards. Do not use cables shorter than 30 cm (11.8 in.) between any two SCSI devices.

To ensure reliable operation, the total length of the SCSI bus, including both the internal and external cabling, is an important factor. Follow these guidelines for total SCSI cable length:

v If any Fast SCSI devices are connected to the SCSI adapter, the total length

of all cables must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 ft.).

v If no Fast SCSI devices are connected, the total length of all cables must not

exceed 6 meters (19.7 ft.).

v If only LVD SCSI devices are connected to the SCSI adapter, the total length

of all cables must not exceed 12 meters (39.4 ft.).

Installing the adapter

Follow these steps to install the SCSI adapter.

Step 1. Assigning SCSI IDs

Each device attached to the SCSI adapter, as well as the adapter itself, must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15. The SCSI ID serves two purposes: it uniquely defines each SCSI device on the SCSI bus, and it determines the device priority for service on the SCSI bus.

The adapter supports the SCSI configured automatically (SCAM) protocol which assigns SCSI IDs dynamically and resolves SCSI ID conflicts automatically at startup. Most SCSI devices currently in use, however, do not support SCAM. The SCSI IDs on these devices must be set manually. Consider the following when assigning a SCSI ID:

v Determine the SCSI ID assignments for devices currently installed. You

might be able to use the existing ID assignments. To determine existing SCSI ID assignments, use one of the following.

– For most IBM computers, press the F1 key during start up after the

memory check completes.

– Use the SCSI utility programs which came with your SCSI devices. – Inspect the installed SCSI devices to see how the IDs are set.

2-2 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

v ID 7 is the highest priority ID on the SCSI bus. Make sure ID 7 is assigned

to the SCSI adapter. Do not use the SCSISelect utility program to change the ID assignment of the SCSI adapter. The priority of the other IDs in descending priority order are 6 to 0 and 15 to 8.

v Assign higher priority SCSI ID numbers to the devices that are most often

used or are faster than other devices in the SCSI chain. (The SCSI ID assigned to a device is not related to the order in which the devices are attached to the SCSI adapter.)

v If you start up your computer from a SCSI device, assign SCSI ID 0 to the

startup drive. ID 0 is the SCSISelect initial setting. (If both SCSI and IDE disk drives will be installed, you cannot start up your computer from a SCSI device. In this case, the IDE disk drive is always the startup device.)

v Change the ID settings according to ID assignments you have chosen. Refer

to the documentation that comes with your SCSI devices for information on how to change the SCSI ID. One way to remember the SCSI ID for each device is to label the device. When putting the label on a hard disk drive, do not press down on the top of the drive because the pressure might damage it.

You can also use the following table in your planning by writing down the SCSI ID you assign to each device. The SCSI IDs are listed in decreasing priority order.

SCSI ID Device

7 SCSI Adapter 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8

Part 2: Installation and user’s guide 2-3

Note that if you install more than one SCSI adapter in your computer, each adapter has a separate SCSI bus, and you can use each SCSI ID once on each bus.

Step 2. Opening your computer

1. Turn off all attached devices; then turn off your computer.

2. Unplug the power cords for your computer and all attached devices; then

open your computer. For specific information on opening your computer, refer to the documentation that comes with your computer.

Step 3. Unpacking the SCSI adapter

1. Before opening the static-protective bag containing the SCSI adapter, touch

the bag to an unpainted metal surface on your computer for at least two seconds.

2. Remove the adapter from the static-protective bag. If you must put the

adapter down, place it on top of the static-protective bag.

3. Inspect the adapter before you install it in your computer for any physical

damage. The following illustration identifies the adapter components.

168-pin Internal LVD/SE Connector 468-pin External VHDCI Connector 2External LED connector 5mounting screws 3PCI bus card-edge connector 6bracket

Step 4. Inserting the adapter into the PCI slot

1. Locate an available 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slot. These slots are

shorter than ISA or EISA slots as shown in the illustration. The PCI bus

2-4 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

connectors (inside the computer) are colored white.

2. Remove the bracket screw and metal expansion slot cover.

3. If you have a newer, lower-profile computer, you will need to use the

smaller mounting bracket that comes with the adapter. To install it do the following:

a. Remove the mounting screws that attach the bracket to the adapter. b. Remove the standard bracket. c. Position the low-profile bracket on the bracket, aligning the screw holes

in the bracket with the holes in the PCI adapter.

d. Insert the two screws and carefully tighten the screws. Do not

overtighten.

4. Insert the card-edge connector, P1, into the empty PCI bus connector. Press

the SCSI adapter into place and secure it with the bracket screw.

Step 5. Terminating the SCSI bus

SCSI devices connect in series to one another on a SCSI bus in a daisy-chain fashion. For the devices to work properly, SCSI termination is required at both ends. All devices that are between the ends of a SCSI chain must have their termination devices removed or disabled.

The internal SCSI cable that comes with this option has an LVD SCSI termination device at the end of the cable farthest from the adapter. All SCSI devices that are connected to the internal cable between the SCSI adapter and the termination device at the end of the cable must have termination devices removed or disabled. Any terminators on internal SCSI devices must be

Part 2: Installation and user’s guide 2-5

removed also. When no external SCSI devices are attached to the bus, the internal cable is terminated at one end by the SCSI adapter itself, and at the other by the termination device on the internal cable.

The following are possible SCSI termination configurations. If the SCSI configuration consists of one cable, terminate the last device 1 on the cable. Remove termination from other devices on the cable.

If the SCSI bus consists of one internal SCSI cable and one external SCSI cable, terminate the last device 2 on the external SCSI cable and the last device 3 on the internal SCSI cable. Remove termination from the other devices on each cable.

Step 6. Terminating the SCSI adapter

Termination on the SCSI adapter is controlled by software commands using the SCSISelect. The initial termination setting is Automatic.

2-6 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

With the Automatic termination setting, the adapter detects if SCSI cables are connected to any of the two SCSI connectors. The adapter then sets termination as needed. If you need to manually set the SCSI adapter termination, see “Appendix B. Using SCSISelect” on page B-1 for more information.

Step 7. Connecting internal devices

Follow these steps to connect internal SCSI devices.

1. Mount each SCSI device in the computer.

2. Connect the 68-pin cable into the connector for 16-bit Wide SCSI devices (J1

in the adapter illustration).

3. Connect the internal devices into available connectors at the end of the

SCSI cable farthest from the adapter to ensure best signal quality. Connect pin-1 on each cable connector to pin-1 on each device throughout the bus. Otherwise your SCSI devices will not work properly.

4. Connect the power cable for each device to the internal power connector, as

needed.

Step 8. Connecting the LED cable (Optional)

Most computers have a light-emitting diode (LED) on the front panel that lights up when the hard disk drive is accessed. You can attach the LED cable to the SCSI adapter instead, so it lights up to indicate activity on the SCSI bus. Follow these steps to connect the LED cable to the SCSI adapter.

Note: If you change the LED connection and your computer includes non-SCSI

disk drives, the LED will no longer indicate non-SCSI disk activity.

1. Unplug the LED cable from the connector on your computer system board.

Refer to your computer documentation to locate the LED cable. If needed, you can use the 4-pin LED cable included with this option.

2. Connect the LED cable connector 1 to the external LED connector 2on

the SCSI adapter as shown in the following illustration.

Part 2: Installation and user’s guide 2-7

Ensure that pins on the LED cable are correctly aligned with the pins on the connector 3. Pin-1 on the LED cable should align with the pin marked 1 in the illustration.

Step 9. Closing the computer

Review your work before closing your computer. Be sure that:

1. The SCSI chain is properly terminated.

2. Each SCSI device on the SCSI chain is set to a unique SCSI ID.

3. The adapter is firmly seated and secured in a PCI expansion slot.

4. Internal SCSI devices are firmly connected to the adapter and pin-1 on each

SCSI cable connector attaches to pin-1 on each SCSI device connector.

5. Power and interface connectors are securely attached.

Replace the computer cover and secure it in place.

Step 10. Connecting external SCSI devices

Connect devices to the SCSI adapter using an additional external cable for each device connected. Up to 15 Wide SCSI external devices can be connected to the adapter in a chain.

To start the SCSI chain, do the following:

1. Connect the external SCSI cable to the SCSI adapter 1. External cable

connectors are designed to plug in only one way.

2. Extend the external SCSI cable from the adapter to the connector on the

first external device. Plug a second external SCSI cable into the second connector on the first device.

3. Plug the other end of the second external SCSI cable into the next device,

and continue in this fashion until all external devices are connected.

2-8 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

4. To terminate the last device on the SCSI chain, insert an active termination

device such as the IBM 68-pin External Multimode LVD/SE SCSI Terminator. It inserts into the second connector on the last device in the chain2.

5. Set correct SCSI ID for each SCSI device.

Step 11. Configuring the computer

To configure your computer, do the following:

1. Reconnect the power cord and other cables.

2. Turn on all attached devices; then turn on your computer.

3. For most computers, the computer performs a power-on self-test (POST)

and the configuration program automatically recognizes the new SCSI adapter. However, you might have to answer questions about your system changes when you restart you computer. If your computer does not recognize the SCSI adapter after it starts up, enter the configuration program and review the PCI configuration options. Some configuration options apply to specific PCI bus slots. Be sure to change configuration options for the PCI bus slot in which the SCSI adapter is installed. Read your computer documentation if you are not sure which slot corresponds to each number. Here are some things you might need to do while using your computer configuration program.

v If there is an Interrupt Type or Interrupt Line option, select Int-A or

Interrupt Type = A. Depending on your computer design, you might

also be required to change a system board jumper setting.

v If there is a Triggering Interrupt option, select Level. v If there is an option to enable or disable bus-mastering for the PCI slot,

select Enabled.

v If there is an option to enable or disable individual PCI slots, select

Enable for the slot in which you installed the adapter.

v If your computer has a combination of ISA (or EISA) and PCI adapters,

you might need to mark the IRQs used by ISA/EISA adapters as Used so that the computer BIOS will not try to assign these IRQs to other PCI adapters.

v In some computers the BIOS reserves a set of available IRQs for PCI

adapters. You might have to assign the adapter IRQ manually.

Refer to your computer documentation for more information. If you still encounter problems during installation, see “Appendix D. Problem solving” on page D-1.

Part 2: Installation and user’s guide 2-9

Step 12. Configuring the SCSI adapter

The SCSISelect initial settings are appropriate for most PCI computers. If you do not need to change any of the initial settings, there is no need to run SCSISelect. Refer to “Appendix B. Using SCSISelect” on page B-1to review or modify the initial adapter settings.

Step 13. Installing device drivers and utility software

The Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows Millennium, Windows 2000, Linux, Novell NetWare, IBM OS/2, SCO Unix, and UnixWare operating systems might already contain device drivers for your SCSI adapter. If this is the case, your operating system will recognize the device after installation and will use the appropriate device drivers. If your operating system does not recognize the SCSI adapter after installation, you will need to use the option CD-ROM to install the appropriate device drivers.

Device drivers for the SCSI adapter are included in the EZ-SCSI and 7800 Family Manager Set (Family Manager) software packages. The EZ-SCSI software package contains device drivers for the following operating systems:

v Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me v Windows NT 4.0

The Family Manager software package contains device drivers for the following operating systems:

v Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 v Windows NT v Novell NetWare v OS/2 v SCO Unix v UnixWare v Linux

Note: Device drivers for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, and

Windows 2000 are included in both the EZ-SCSI and Family Manager packages. You can use either package to install the appropriate drivers.

To find detailed installation instructions for each operating system listed above, do the following:

1. Insert the option CD-ROM into your CD drive.

2. Access the available files on the CD, and locate the directory labeled with

the name of the operating system you have installed on your computer.

Appendix B. Using SCSISelect

The SCSI adapter comes with a built-in menu-driven utility program called SCSISelect. SCSISelect includes a configuration program and a disk utility program.

When your computer starts up, the following prompt is displayed briefly:

Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility!

You can start the SCSISelect program by pressing Ctrl+A. The first menu that is displayed prompts you to choose either to configure and view the adapter settings or to use the SCSI disk utilities.

SCSISelect uses menus to list options you can select. v To select an option, use the ↑ and ↓ keys to move the cursor to the option;

then press the Enter key.

v In some cases, selecting an option displays another menu. You can return to

the previous menu at any time by pressing the Esc key.

v To restore the original SCSISelect settings, press the F6 key. v To toggle the display between color and monochrome, press the F5 key.

(This feature might not work on some monitors.)

To exit SCSISelect, press the Esc key until a message prompts you to exit. If you changed any adapter settings, you are prompted to save the changes before you exit. At the prompt, select Yes to exit; then press any key to restart your computer. Any changes you made in SCSISelect will take effect after your computer restarts.

Configuration utility program

If you choose to configure or view the adapter settings, you can review settings in the following areas: basic SCSI adapter, boot device, SCSI device, and advanced SCSI adapter. The following sections provide information on each of these setting areas.

Basic SCSI adapter settings

The basic SCSI adapter settings are most likely to require some modification. v SCSI adapter SCSI ID - This option sets the SCSI adapter SCSI ID. The

initial value of 7 gives the adapter the highest priority on the SCSI bus. Do not change this setting.

v SCSI parity checking - This option determines whether the adapter verifies

the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. The initial setting is Enabled.

– Leave it set to Enabled. Most SCSI devices support SCSI parity. – Select Disable if any device connected to the SCSI adapter does not

support SCSI parity. If you are not sure whether a device supports SCSI parity, see the documentation that comes with the device.

v SCSI adapter SCSI termination - This option sets termination on the SCSI

adapter. The initial setting is Automatic. This setting is appropriate for most situations. If you want to manually set the termination setting, refer to the following table for the appropriate low and high settings. (The low byte controls 8-bit SCSI; the low and high bytes together control 16-bit, Wide SCSI.)

Boot-device settings

These settings enable you to specify the startup device. v Boot target ID - This option specifies the SCSI ID of the device from which

to start up. The initial setting is SCSI ID 0. The SCSI ID selected must correspond to the SCSI ID configured on the startup device.

v Boot LUN number - If your startup device has multiple Logical Unit

Numbers (LUNS) and multiple LUN support enabled, this option allows you to specify which LUN to start up from on your startup device. The initial setting is LUN 0. (You can set the multiple LUN support in the “Advanced SCSI adapter settings” on page B-4.)

B-2 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

SCSI device settings

The SCSI device settings enable you to configure certain parameters for each device on the SCSI bus. To configure a specific device, use the SCSI ID assigned to that device. If you are not sure of the SCSI ID, see “SCSI disk utilities” on page B-6.

v Initiate sync negotiation - Synchronous negotiation is a SCSI feature that

enables the adapter and its attached SCSI devices to transfer data in synchronous mode. Synchronous data transfer mode is faster than asynchronous data transfer. This option determines whether the adapter initiates synchronous negotiation between the device and SCSI adapter. The initial setting is Yes (enabled).

– Normally leave this option enabled (Yes); most SCSI devices support

synchronous negotiation, because it provides data transfer.

– Some older SCSI-1 devices do not support synchronous negotiation. This

might cause your computer to operate erratically or to stop responding if this option is set to Yes. Set this option to No (disabled) for these devices.

The SCSI adapter always responds to synchronous negotiation if the SCSI device initiates it. If neither the SCSI adapter nor the SCSI device initiate synchronous negotiation, data is transferred asynchronously.

v Initiate Wide negotiation - This option determines whether the SCSI

adapter initiates 16-bit data transfer (Wide negotiation) instead of 8-bit data transfer. The effective transfer rate is doubled when 16-bit data transfer is used, because the data path is twice the size of normal 8-bit SCSI. For example, a transfer rate of 20 MB

/sec becomes 40 MB/sec. The initial

setting is Yes (Enabled).

– When this option is set to Yes, the SCSI adapter attempts 16-bit transfer. – Some 8-bit SCSI devices might be unable to handle Wide negotiation; this

might cause unpredictable problems or the computer to stop responding. For these devices, set this option to No.

– When this options is set to No, 8-bit data transfer is used unless the SCSI

device itself requests Wide negotiation.

v Maximum sync transfer rate - This option sets the maximum synchronous

data transfer rate that the SCSI adapter supports. The initial setting is 20 MB/sec. This setting supports an effective rate up to the UltraSCSI maximum of 160 MB/sec with 16-bit, Wide transfers.

– If your device is a Wide UltraSCSI device, you can use a maximum rate

of 40 MB/sec.

– If your device is not Wide UltraSCSI device, select a lower transfer rate

that is compatible with your device.

– If this option is set to No, the maximum synchronous transfer rate is the

maximum rate that the adapter accepts from the device during negotiation.

Appendix B. Using SCSISelect B-3

v Enable disconnection - This option determines whether the SCSI adapter

allows a SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus (sometimes called disconnect/reconnect). Enabling disconnect enables the adapter to perform other operations on the SCSI bus while the SCSI device is temporarily disconnected. The initial setting is Yes (enabled).

– If two or more SCSI devices are connected to the SCSI adapter, leave this

option set to Yes. This optimizes SCSI bus performance.

– If only one SCSI device is connected to the adapter, set this option to No

to achieve slightly better performance.

v Send Start Unit Command - This option determines whether the Start Unit

Command is sent to the SCSI device at start up (most devices do not require this). The initial setting is Yes (enabled) for all SCSI IDs except 7. This option is only valid if the SCSI adapter BIOS is set to Enabled.

– Setting this option to Yes reduces the load on your computer power

supply by enabling the SCSI adapter to start up SCSI devices one at a time when you start up your computer. With this option set to Yes for many devices, the start up time will vary depending how long it takes each device to start.

– When this option is set to No, the devices start up at the same time. Most

devices require you to set a jumper before they can respond to this command.

Advanced SCSI adapter settings

Do not change the advanced SCSI adapter settings unless absolutely necessary. v Plug and Play SCAM support - This option determines whether the SCSI

adapter automatically assigns SCSI IDs to attached SCSI devices that support the SCAM protocol. The initial setting is Disabled.

– Most non-SCAM devices work correctly with the SCAM protocol, so you

can select Enable even for non-SCAM devices.

– In rare cases, an old SCSI-1 device might not work with SCAM. This

might cause the computer to stop responding or operate erratically. If this happens, select Disable.

v SCSI adapter BIOS - This option enables or disables the SCSI adapter BIOS.

The initial setting is Enabled. If you are starting up your computer from a SCSI disk drive connected to

the adapter, the BIOS must be set to Enabled. Do not disable the SCSI adapter BIOS if the devices on the SCSI bus (for example, CD-ROM drives) are all controlled by the device drivers and do not need the BIOS.

v Support removable disks under BIOS as fixed disks - This option enables

you to control which removable-media drives are supported by the SCSI adapter BIOS. The initial setting is Boot Only. The Boot Only setting is only valid only if the SCSI adapter BIOS is set to Enabled. The choices are as follows:

B-4 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

– Boot Only: Only the removable-media drive designated as the startup

device is treated as a hard disk.

– All Disks: All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are treated

as hard disks.

– Disabled: No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives. In

this situation, device drivers are needed because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS.

Attention: If the SCSI adapter BIOS controls a removable-media SCSI device, do not remove the media while the drive is on or you might lose data. If you want to be able to remove media while the device is on, install your removable-media device driver and set this option to Disabled.

v Extended BIOS translation for DOS drives>1GB- This option determines

whether extended the translation scheme is available for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GB. The standard translation scheme for SCSI adapters provides a maximum accessible capability of 1 GB. The initial setting is Enabled.

– This option is valid only if the SCSI adapter BIOS is set to Enabled. – Do not select Enable for this option with NetWare, OS/2, Windows NT,

or UNIX. This option is only used with DOS 5.0 or later.

Attention: If you decide to change the translation scheme; back up your disk drives first. All data is erased when you change from one translation scheme to another.

– When set to Enabled, the adapter supports disk drives up to 8 GB under

DOS with a maximum partition size of 2 GB.

– When you partition a disk larger than 1 GB, use the DOS FDISK utility

program as you normally would. Because the cylinder size increases to 8 MB under extended translation, the partition size you choose must be a multiple of 8 MB. If you request a size that is not a multiple of 8 MB, FDISK rounds up to the nearest whole number that is a multiple of 8 MB.

v Display <Ctrl-A> message during BIOS initialization - This option

determines whether the Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! message is displayed on your screen during system start up. The initial setting is Enabled. This option is valid only if the SCSI adapter BIOS is Enabled. If this setting is set to Disabled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect by pressing Ctrl+A after the SCSI adapter BIOS banner appears.

v Multiple logical unit (LUN) support - This option determines whether

starting up from a SCSI device that has multiple LUNs is supported. The initial setting is Disabled. Select Enable for this option if your startup device has multiple LUNs. This option is valid only if the SCSI adapter BIOS is set to Enabled.

v BIOS support for more than two drives - This option determines whether

the SCSI adapter BIOS provides support for two to eight hard disk drives. This feature is supported by DOS 5.0 and later. The initial setting is Enabled.

Appendix B. Using SCSISelect B-5

This option is valid only if the SCSI adapter BIOS is set to Enabled. For example with this setting Enabled, DOS can support two IDE drives on the IDE adapter, and up to six SCSI drives (supported by the BIOS) on the SCSI adapter.

v BIOS support for bootable CD-ROM - This option determines whether the

SCSI adapter BIOS provides support for starting up from a CD-ROM drive. The initial setting is set to Disabled. This option is valid only if the SCSI adapter BIOS is set to Enabled.

v BIOS support for int 13 extensions - This option determines whether the

SCSI adapter BIOS supports disks with more then 1024 cylinders. The initial setting is Disabled. This option is valid only if the SCSI adapter BIOS is set to Enabled.

v BIOS support for UltraSCSI speed - This option determines whether the

SCSI adapter supports the Fast transfer rates (13.4, 16, 20.0) of UltraSCSI devices. The initial setting is Enabled.

SCSI disk utilities

When you select the SCSI disk utilities program, the program immediately scans the SCSI bus, then displays a list of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID. When you select a specific ID and device, a menu is displayed, that shows the options to format and verify the disk media.

To access the SCSI disk utilities, follow these steps:

1. Select the SCSI Disk Utilitiesoption from the menu that appears after

starting SCSI Select. SCSI Select scans the SCSI bus (to determine the devices installed) and displays a list of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID.

2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to a specific ID and device, then

press Enter.

3. A small menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk and Verify

Disk Media.

v Format Disk - This program enables you to perform a low-level format on a

hard disk drive. Most SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory and do not need to be formatted again. This disk utility program is compatible with the vast majority of SCSI disk drives.

Attention: A low-level format erases all data on the hard disk. Back up your data on the disk to be formatted before performing this operation. You cannot abort a low-level format once it is started. Hard drive manufacturer’s may not warranty the drive after a low level format. Check HDD Warranty for more information.

v Verify Disk Media - This program scans the hard disk for defects. If the

program finds bad blocks on the disk, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select Yes to reassign them, these blocks are no longer used. You can press the Esckey at any time to cancel the program.

B-6 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

Appendix C. Configuring multiple SCSI adapters

You can install as many SCSI adapters in your computer as there are PCI expansion slots.

In computers with multiple SCSI adapters, consider the following: v If you are starting up from the SCSI adapter, you might have to install the

startup adapter in the lowest numbered PCI bus slot. (Most IBM and Intel

based PCI computers do not have this requirement.) Refer to your computer documentation to determine the PCI bus slot number.

v If you have two adapters and each has a startup device connected, the

computer starts up from the adapter in the lowest numbered PCI bus slot. If you want to select a specific adapter from which to start up, enable the BIOS on that adapter only.

v If you are starting up from the SCSI adapter and you also have an

ISA/EISA-based adapter installed, you must disable the BIOS on the ISA/EISA-based adapter.

v If you are starting up from an ISA/EISA-based adapter and you have a PCI

Wide Ultra2 SCSI Adapter installed with a startup device connected, the ISA/EISA-based adapter will start up before the SCSI adapter.

v When running the SCSISelect, if the program finds multiple PCI Wide Ultra2

SCSI Adapters in your computer, it displays the PCI bus number and PCI device number of each adapter. To determine which of the adapters SCSISelect is configuring, view the red LEDs on the adapters as you move the highlight bar to different adapters with the ↑ and ↓ keys. (The computer cover must be removed to view the LEDs.)

C-2 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

Appendix D. Problem solving

You might be able to solve the problem yourself. The SCSI adapter has been tested for compatibility with a wide range of SCSI devices. Most problems that occur during installation result from errors in preparing and connecting devices on the SCSI bus. If you have problems when using the SCSI adapter, check these items first:

v Are all SCSI devices turned on? v Are the power cables and SCSI interface cables properly connected? v Is the SCSI adapter firmly seated and secured in a 5-volt, PCI bus slot that is

capable of bus-mastering?

v Is pin-1 orientation maintained throughout the SCSI bus? (See “Step 7.

Connecting internal devices” on page 2-7.)

v Is each SCSI device, including the SCSI adapter, set to a unique SCSI ID, 0 to

15? (See “Step 1. Assigning SCSI IDs” on page 2-2.)

v Are all the devices on the SCSI bus terminated properly? (See “Step 5.

Terminating the SCSI bus” on page 2-5.)

v Are the PCI bus and slot parameters set correctly in your computer setup

configuration program? The PCI bus is designed to assign IRQ, port address, and BIOS address settings automatically to the adapter. You might need to assign some of these values manually in the setup program. (See “Step 11. Configuring the computer” on page 2-9.)

v Is the SCSI device jumpered correctly? (See “Step 11. Configuring the

computer” on page 2-9).

If your problem is still not resolved, continue with the next section.

Troubleshooting in Windows 95 and Windows 98

If the system locks up when using Windows 95 or Windows 98 do the following to verify if the SCSI adapter is functioning normally:

1. Start or restart your computer

2. (For Windows 95:) When the message ″Starting Windows 95″ is displayed,

press and release the F8 function key while the text is on your screen. (For Windows 98:) When the message ″Starting Windows 98″ is displayed,

press and release the Ctrl key while the text is on your screen.)

3. From the menu that is displayed, select Safe Mode. (It may take several

minutes for Windows 95 or Windows 98 to load.)

4. If the system completes the boot to the desktop, the core software is

functional; resources, software conflicts, and/or hardware need to be checked.

5. If the system still fails to boot, and the boot drive is connected to an EIDE

controller; shut down the system, remove the Adaptec SCSI adapter, and restart the computer.

6. Verify that an IRQ is available by viewing resources in System Properties.

7. Right click on the My Computer icon on the Windows desktop.

8. Select Properties from the menu.

9. Click the Performance tab.

10. Verify that your system is configured for optimal performance. (Make sure

you are not in Safe Mode.)

Using the hardware conflict troubleshooter in Windows 95 and Windows 98

To use the hardware conflict troubleshooter in Windows 95 and Windows 98, do the following:

1. Click the Start button, then click Help.

2. From the Contents tab, double-click Troubleshooting. (Windows 98, click

Troubleshooting and then click Windows 98 Troubleshooting.)

Other Problems and Solutions

v If you are starting up from a SCSI hard disk drive, make sure the Drives

setting (in your computer configuration setup program) that corresponds to the drive is set to None or No Drives Installed. (See your computer documentation for more information.)

If both the SCSI and non-SCSI (for example, IDE) disk drives are installed, then the non-SCSI disk drive is always the startup device.

v If you changed any values on a SCSI adapter in a computer setup program,

or on a SCSI device, did you turn power off and on to ensure the new values are loaded?

v If you tried to use the Format/Verify utility program on a disk device and

received an Unexpected SCSI Command Failure message with detailed error information, the utility program encountered a problem with the disk device or the media and therefore cannot run. You can probably determine from the error number (for example, 06h - Unit Attention) both the cause of the problem and its solution. Here are some of the more common error numbers and their meanings:

02h - Not ready:

The media is not ready to format. Be sure that media is inserted in the drive and that the media is has had time to come up to the correct spinning rate.

03h - Medium error:

The disk media might be defective. If it is a removable-media drive,

D-2 IBM PCI Ultra160 SCSI Adapter: User’s Guide

try using a different disk media. If it is a hard disk drive, the disk might be physically damaged. Verify and format the media with the SCSISelect.

04h - Hardware error:

The disk drive might be defective. Consult the hardware documentation and contact the manufacturer.

05h - Illegal request:

The SCSISelect formatting utility program does not support a low-level format of this device; however, the device might already below-level formatted by the manufacturer. (This error rarely occurs.)

06h - Unit attention:

The removable media might be write-protected. Disable write protection and run the utility program again.

The Additional Sense Code field provides more information about the error. The meaning of these codes might be listed in your hardware manual.

BIOS startup messages

After you have installed your SCSI adapter, the SCSI adapter BIOS displays a message when you start up your computer. Normally, this message lists the SCSI ID, manufacturer, model number, and other information for each SCSI device that the BIOS detects.

If the SCSI Adapter BIOS is set to Enabled, but it fails to initialize, the computer displays a specific error message followed by a BIOS Installation Failure message. Here are some of these error messages and their meanings:

Device Connected, but not ready

The adapter received no answer when it requested data from an installed SCSI device. Try setting the Send Start Unit Command to Yes for the SCSI adapter. (See “Appendix B. Using SCSISelect” on page B-1 for more information.) If the error continues, follow the drive manufacturer instructions to make sure the drive is set to spin up when the power is turned on.

Start unit request failed

The BIOS was unable to send a Start Unit Command to the device. Run the SCSISelect and set to Disable Send Start Unit Command for the device.

Time-out failure during

An unexpected time-out occurred. Check the SCSI bus termination. Try disconnecting the SCSI device cables from the SCSI adapter and then starting up the computer. If the computer successfully restarts,

Appendix D. Problem solving D-3

check SCSI bus termination and cable connections. One of the devices on the SCSI bus might be defective. Also check SCSI device jumper setting.
