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.
1.1 Functional 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. B01 1–1
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.
1.2 Physical 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.

Installing the KZPCM Host Adapter
This chapter tells you how to terminate the SCSI buses, how t o set SCSI IDs, how to install the Host Adapter in your computer, and how to connect internal and ext er nal SCSI devices to the adapter.
2.1 Installation Overview
The installation of the KZPCM Host Adapter consists of the following steps:
Terminating the SCSI buses.
Installing the Host Adapter module in your computer.
Connecting internal or external SCSI devices to the adapter.
2.2 Getting Started
Before starting the installation, do the following:
Check that you have the necessary user-supplied hardware and software
(refer to Subsection 2.2.1). Inventory the contents of the KZPCM Host Adapter kit
Back up the computer system
2.2.1 User-Supplied Hardware and Software Requirements
The KZPCM Host Adapter requires the following user-supplied hardware and software:
An AXP- or Intel-based computer system with a PCI local bus, a 3½-inch
(1.44 MB) floppy drive, an available PCI slot, disk space to load software drivers, and the associated system hardware manual
The SCSI cables necessary to connect SCSI devices to the adapter module
One of the following operating systems:
Windows NT, version 4.0 or higher
DIGITAL OpenVMS, version 7.1-1H1 or higher
DIGITAL UNIX, version 4.0d or higher
Alpha firmware upgrade CD5.0.

Contact your Service Representative if any items are missing.
2.2.3 Back up Your System
Follow your normal procedures to back up your system before installing the KZPCM Host Adapter.
2.3 Terminating 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.

2.4 Setting 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
2.5 Installing 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.
