drives.

 

Save

 

this

 

guide

 

for

 

future

installation

 

information.

   

Attention

 

Be

 

sure

 

you

 

have

 

read

 

“Handling

 

Static

 

Sensitive

 

Devices”

 

on

 

page

 

vii

 

before

 

handling

 

your

 

PCI-X

 

Dual

 

Channel

 

Ultra320

 

SCSI

 

RAID

 

Adapter.

Installing

 

the

 

Adapter

 

To

 

install

 

the

 

adapter,

 

do

 

the

 

following:

 

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

 

Internal

 

SCSI

 

Backplanes

 

and

 

Devices

 

To

 

connect

 

the

 

internal

 

hard-disk-drive

 

backplanes

 

or

 

devices,

 

do

 

the

 

following:

 

1.

   

Stop

 

the

 

system

 

and

 

place

 

it

 

into

 

the

 

service

 

position

 

as

 

described

 

in

 

the

 

documentation

 

provided

 

with

 

your

 

system.

 

2.

   

Set

 

up

 

and

 

install

 

your

 

backplane

 

or

 

device

 

with

 

the

 

power

 

and

 

signal

 

connections

 

as

 

described

 

in

 

the

 

documentation

 

provided

 

with

 

your

 

system.

 

3.

   

The

 

internal

 

connectors

 

for

 

channel

 

0

 

and

 

channel

 

1

 

are

 

located

 

on

 

the

 

top

 

of

 

the

 

PCI-X

 

Dual

 

Channel

 

Ultra320

 

SCSI

 

RAID

 

Adapter.

 

These

 

connectors

 

are

 

designed

 

to

 

fit

 

one

 

way

 

only.

 

Using

 

the

 

internal

 

cable

 

provided,

 

connect

 

one

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

cable

 

to

 

the

 

internal

 

connectors

 

of

 

the

 

PCI-X

 

Dual

 

Channel

 

Ultra320

 

SCSI

 

RAID

 

Adapter.

 

Connect

 

the

 

other

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

cable

 

to

 

the

 

appropriate

 

backplane

 

or

 

device.

 

The

 

PCI-X

 

Dual

 

Channel

 

Ultra320

 

SCSI

 

RAID

 

Adapter

 

provides

 

built-in

 

terminators;

 

therefore,

 

terminators

 

are

 

not

 

required

 

at

 

the

 

end

 

of

 

the

 

cable.

 

Hard

 

disk

 

drives

 

connect

 

to

 

the

 

terminators

 

that

 

are

 

built

 

into

 

the

 

backplane.

 

Note:

  

Do

 

not

 

attach

 

any

 

external

 

subsystems

 

to

 

a

 

channel

 

if

 

it

 

is

 

internally

 

connected

 

to

 

a

 

backplane.

 

4.

   

Install

 

all

 

the

 

internal

 

SCSI

 

(including

 

non-RAID)

 

devices

 

by

 

referring

 

to

 

the

 

documentation

 

provided

 

with

 

your

 

device.
