Adapter

 

Hardware

 

(AIX)

 

This

 

chapter

 

provides

 

instructions

 

for

 

installing

 

the

 

PCI-X

 

Dual

 

Channel

 

Ultra320

 

SCSI

 

Adapter

 

and

 

connecting

 

your

 

SCSI

 

devices.

 

Before

 

you

 

begin,

 

be

 

sure

 

you

 

have

 

read

 

“Handling

 

Static-Sensitive

 

Devices”

 

on

 

page

 

vii.

 

Also

 

refer

 

to

 

the

 

PCI

 

Adapter

 

Placement

 

Reference

 

guide.

  

Attention:

  

Do

 

not

 

remove

 

the

 

PCI-X

 

Dual

 

Channel

 

Ultra320

 

SCSI

 

Adapter

 

from

 

its

 

antistatic

 

package

 

at

 

this

 

time.

 

Installing

 

the

 

Adapter

 

To

 

install

 

the

 

adapter,

 

do

 

the

1.

   

Refer

 

to

 

the

 

option

 

installation

 

documentation

 

that

 

shipped

 

with

 

your

 

system

 

unit

 

to

 

perform

 

the

 

following:

 

a.

   

Some

 

systems

 

support

 

the

 

hot-plugging

 

of

 

adapters.

 

Prepare

 

your

 

system

 

to

 

hot

 

plug

 

this

 

adapter

 

while

 

system

 

power

 

is

 

on.

 

Shut

 

down

 

your

 

system

 

unit

 

if

 

your

 

system

 

does

 

not

 

support

 

hot-plugging.

 

b.

   

Install

 

the

 

PCI

 

Adapter

 

into

 

your

 

system

 

unit.

2.

    

To

 

determine

 

if

 

any

 

placement

 

restrictions

 

apply

 

to

 

your

 

adapter,

 

refer

 

to

 

the

 

PCI

 

Adapter

 

Placement

 

Reference

.

 

Return

 

here

 

to

 

complete

 

the

 

installation

 

procedure.

  

Attention

 

Failure

 

to

 

install

 

your

 

PCI

 

adapter

 

into

 

the

 

correct

 

slot

 

can

 

cause

 

your

 

adapter

 

or

 

system

 

unit

 

to

 

function

 

incorrectly.

Connecting

 

External

 

or

 

Internal

 

Devices

 

To

 

connect

 

external

 

or

 

internal

 

devices,

 

use

 

the

 

following

 

procedures.

 

Note:

  

Attachment

 

cables

 

are

 

usually

 

shipped

 

with

 

the

 

attaching

 

subsystem

 

or

 

device.

 

Connecting

 

External

 

Devices

 

Note:

  

Depending

 

on

 

your

 

system

 

unit,

 

you

 

may

 

not

 

need

 

to

 

shut

 

down

 

the

 

system

 

before

 

connecting

 

external

 

devices.

 

For

 

more

 

information,

 

refer

 

to

 

the

 

documentation

 

provided

 

with

 

your

 

system

 

unit.

 

To

 

connect

 

external

 

devices,

 

do

 

the

 

following:

 

1.

   

If

 

the

 

cable

 

from

 

your

 

subsystem

 

or

 

device

 

has

 

a

 

VHDCI

 

connector

 

on

 

the

 

end

 

going

 

to

 

the

 

adapter,

 

connect

 

the

 

cable

 

directly

 

to

 

the

 

external

 

port

 

Channel

 

0

 

(connector

 

J4)

 

or

 

Channel

 

1

 

(connector

 

J5).

 

Use

 

the

 

fastening

 

screws

 

on

 

the

 

cable

 

connector

 

to

 

securely

 

attach

 

the

 

connector

 

to

 

the

 

adapter.

 

If

 

the

 

cable

 

from

 

your

 

subsystem

 

or

 

device

 

has

 

a

 

high-density

 

D-shell

 

connector

 

on

 

the

 

end

 

going

 

to

 

the

 

adapter,

 

attach

 

it

 

to

 

a

 

VHDCI

 

to

 

D-shell

 

converter

 

cable

 

before

 

attaching

 

it

 

to

 

the

 

adapter.

 

Then

 

connect

 

the

 

cable

 

to

 

external

 

port

 

Channel

 

0

 

(connector

 

J4)

 

or

 

Channel

 

1

 

(connector

 

J5).

 

Use

 

the

 

fastening

 

screws

 

on

 

the

 

cable

 

connector

 

to

 

securely

 

attach

 

the

 

connector

 

to

 

the

 

adapter.

 

2.

   

If

 

necessary,

 

connect

 

additional

 

cables

 

to

 

additional

 

SCSI

 

devices.

 

3.

   

When

 

all

 

devices

 

are

 

connected,

 

ensure

 

that

 

a

 

SCSI

 

terminator

 

is

 

attached

 

to

 

the

 

last

 

device

 

if

 

needed.

 

4.

   

If

 

you

 

have

 

turned

 

off

 

your

 

system

 

unit,

 

turn

 

it

 

back

 

on.
