Product Description
This chapter gives a functional and physical overview of the KZPCM PCI-to-Dual
Channel Ultra SCSI and 10/100MB Ethernet Host Adapter (‘the KZPCM Host Adapt er’ or
‘the Host Adapter’) and provides specifications for significant characteristics.
1.1Functional Description
The KZPCM Host Adapter (Figure 1-1) provides an interface between a host
computer PCI bus and both internal and external SCSI devices. In addition, the
Host Adapter includes support for 10/100 Base-T Ethernet communications,
which can be carried on concurrently with I/O operations.
Figure 1-1 KZPCM Host Adapter
HR-1027
EK–KZPCM–UG. B011–1
KZPCM PCI–to–Dual Channel Ultra SCSI and 10/100MB Ethernet Host Adapter
The KZPCM Host Adapter is a leading edge host adapter that supports bootable
devices and provides a powerful multi-tasking interface. Each channel on the
Host Adapter forms a separate SCSI bus together with its attached devices. The
SCSI buses can be connected to disk drives, CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and
other SCSI devices. More than one Host Adapter can be installed in the same
host computer.
The SCSI processor negotiates with each device on the SCSI bus to establish the
data transfer rate between the host adapter and the device. It also automates
SCSI command processing and significantly reduces the number of interrupts and
command overhead.
The Host Adapter supports multi-threaded I/O operations, thereby allowing
simultaneous operations on multiple SCSI targets or Logical Units (LUNs). In
systems with multiple targets, the Disconnect/Reconnect feature optimizes SCSI
bus usage. In systems that support fragmented memory buffers, the
Scatter/Gather feature provides high performance.
1.2Physical Description
The KZPCM Host Adapter components are mounted on a 4 ¼ inch by 8 ¾ inch
PCB that is inserted in a PCI expansion slot in the host computer motherboard.
The PCB has separate connectors for each of the two available Ultra SCSI
channels. Channel A has two 68-pin connectors for Ultra-wide SCSI operation,
one for external devices and one for internal devices, and one 50-pin connector
for Ultra-narrow internal SCSI devices; channel B has two 68-pin connectors for
Ultra-wide SCSI operation, one for external devices and one for internal devices.
External connection to an Ethernet network is made through a shielded RJ45
connector for 8-conductor twisted pair cable.
Channel A and Channel B are equipped with both internal and external ultraSCSI wide (supports 15 devices) connectors; in addition, Channel A is equipped
with an internal ultra-narrow 50-pin connector. However, a DIGITAL
StorageWorks shelf with ultra-wide connections can run ultra-wide and ultranarrow drives concurrently.
The external bulkhead of the Host Adapter contains LED indicators that monitor
Ethernet activity.

2.2.3 Back up Your System
Follow your normal procedures to back up your system before installing the
KZPCM Host Adapter.
2.3Terminating the SCSI Buses
The KZPCM Host Adapter has dual-SCSI channel capability, and each bus must
be terminated at both ends of the bus. The Host Adapter can be located at the
beginning of the bus or in the middle of the bus; consequently, termination on
the Host Adapter itself can be enabled or disabled. Furthermore, if both the
wide- and narrow-SCSI connectors on the A-channel are used, the narrow-SCSI
termination on the Host Adapter must be disabled.
Use the termination switchpack, SW1, on the Host Adapter PCB (Figure 2-1) to
enable or disable terminations on the PCB. Tables 2-1 and 2-2 show how the
switchpack switches should be set according to how devices are connected to
Channel A and Channel B connectors, respectively, of the Host Adapter.

2.4Setting SCSI Device IDs
Each device and host adapter on the SCSI bus must have a unique SCSI ID. It is
recommended that the Host Adapter be left at its default ID of 7. If it is
necessary to change the Host Adapter ID, refer to Table 3-1,
Quick Reference Chart
.
On systems that do not use the on-board BIOS Configuration utility refer to the
software descriptions for instructions on changing SCSI IDs. All Intel-based
systems use the on-board BIOS utilities; Alpha-based systems use AlphaBIOS
for Windows NT and SRM console for DIGITAL UNIX and DIGITAL
OpenVMS.
The Host Adapter supports SCSI Configured AutoMatically (SCAM) protocol,
which assigns SCSI IDs automatically and resolves SCSI ID conflicts. Devices
that support the SCAM protocol do not need to be assigned a SCSI ID manually.
Because SCAM is a recent addition to the SCSI specification, many devices do
not yet support the protocol and their IDs must be configured manually (refer to
the device documentation). SCAM support is enabled by default; refer to the
BIOS configuration utility instructions if you need to disable SCAM protocol.
Parameter Settings
NOTE
On a 16-bit SCSI bus each device must have a
unique SCSI ID from 0 to 15. Since the Host
Adapter default ID is 7, all other devices on the
bus should be gi ven IDs from 0 to 6 and 8 to 15.
Refer to the dev ice doc umentati on for i nst ruct ions
on setting the SCSI ID for that device (not all
operating systems currently support SCSI IDs
above 7).

Chapter 2. Installing the KZPCM Host Adapter
2.5Installing the Host Adapter
Install the Host Adapter module using the following procedures. Take
precautions to protect the module from static discharge.
CAUTION
To protect the board from s tatic dis charge, wear
an electr ostatic dis charge (ESD) wris t strap. If a
wrist strap is unavailable, ground yourself by
touching a bare metal surface on the computer
chassis before you open the case.
2.5.1 Inserting the Host Adapter in a Chassis Slot
Do the following steps to insert the Host Adapter module in the chassis slot:
1. Turn off the power to the computer system and attached peripherals, and
disconnect the ac power cords.
2. Remove the computer cover (refer to your computer manual for
instructions).
3. Locate an available PCI bus slot. PCI slots are shorter than ISA and EISA
slots and are normally colored white. (Refer to your computer manual to
determine the location of the PCI bus slot in your system.)
Unscrew and remove the outside slot cover. The slot cover is the metal strip
that covers the opening in the rear of the computer chassis and where the
external connector on the adapter fits (save the screw.)
4. Carefully remove the KZPCM Host Adapter from its protective anti-static
bag and insert it into the slot. Press down on the top of the card until it seats
firmly. See Figure 2–2.
NOTE
PCI cards are des igned with thei r components on
the opposite side of non-PCI cards
5. Secure the KZPCM host adapter with the screw previously used to secure the
slot cover.
6. Do not install the computer cover or reconnect power until all the SCSI
devices are connected.
