System Requirements
All Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers are PCI 2.2 compliant and are designed to
operate in host systems that comply with revision 2.2 of the PCI Local Bus
Specification.
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers are also multifunction PCI devices. The host system
must be able to properly configure multifunction PCI devices, where one of the
devices is a bridge.
You must use cables designed for Ultra160 SCSI and active termination for your
SCSI bus.
Working with Electricity
Any device that uses electricity must be treated with caution. Follow these guidelines
to ensure general safety:
Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the
equipment unsafe.
Before working on the system, unplug the power cord.
— Disconnect all power before doing the following:
— Installing or removing a chassis
— Working near power supplies
Do not work alone when potentially hazardous conditions exist.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
Look carefully for possible hazards in your work area, such as moist floors,
ungrounded power extension cables, or missing safety grounds.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
To prevent electrostatic discharge, refer to Appendix B, “Electrostatic Discharge.”

About Your New Controller
Introduction
Adaptec SCSI RAID products incorporate the latest intelligent controller technology
to deliver optimum performance for desktop systems, file servers or multiuser host
systems.
IMPORTANT: ECC-protected cache is available only if you use Adaptec Cache Memory
Modules or qualified ECC memory from a manufacturer listed on the Adaptec website.
•
•
•
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers support RAID 0, 1, 5 and multilevel RAID
(0/1 and 0/5). The controllers support a maximum of 128 MB of onboard cache.
Error Correcting Code (ECC) protection for cache memory is available when
ECC memory is installed.
Cache Memory Modules provide 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB of ECC-protected
SDRAM disk cache for SCSI RAID controllers.
Adaptec SCSI RAID Feature Overview
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers include:
Support for I2O OSMs provided by major operating system vendors; Adaptec
provides drivers for most operating systems
For a list of drivers supplied by Adaptec, refer to Chapter 4, “Installing Adaptec
SCSI RAID Software.”

Support for SCSI-1, SCSI-2, and SCSI-3 devices with active termination
ASPI protocol support for third-party applications and utilities
Flash ROM for easy upgrades of controller firmware, I2O BIOS and SMOR
Event logging
Predictive caching that analyzes disk read requests made by the host to determine
whether they are part of a pattern
If a pattern is detected, the controller uses the pattern to predict which data the
host is likely to request in the near future, then reads this data into the cache.
Intelligent hot spare that automatically replaces a failed drive with a designated
hot spare drive
When multiple hot spares are available on a controller, the intelligent hot-spare
algorithm picks the best one based on capacity and bus location. RAID 1 and
RAID 5 arrays are rebuilt automatically using the new drive.

About Your New Controller
Cache Memory Module
SDRAM memory provides 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB of high-speed disk cache for
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers. If ECC memory is installed, the cache is protected
by ECC, which automatically repairs errors in the data. The green ECC Enabled LED
is lit when ECC memory is installed. For the location of this LED, refer to “Board
Layout” in this chapter.
Adapted SCSI RAID Controller LEDs
Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers provide nine LEDs that let you visually monitor
controller activity. Several different controller states are indicated by the LED as
outlined in the following sections. Two additional LEDs indicate the status of the
cache memory on the controller. For the location of the LEDs on your controller,
refer to “Board Layout” in this chapter.
LED Display During Power-Up
During its power-up sequence, the controller passes through the following states in
sequence, as indicated by the LEDs:
NOTE: The address translation unit (ATU), PCI bridge, and cache module (if installed) must
be configured and enabled before the I2O initialization can be completed. If any one of these
components are not configured or become disabled during the Fast Idle phase, the pattern will
return to the respective wait pattern for the affected component.

Table 2-2: LED Display During Power-Up
Condition LED Display
Memory mapped I/O LEDs 6 and 7 and LEDs 5 and 8 flash
alternately while the controller waits for the host
computer to initialize the ATU on the PCI bus.
Bridge LEDs 5 and 7 and LEDs 6 and 8 flash
alternately while the controller waits for the host
computer to initialize its PCI-to-PCI bridge.
Fast idle The controller enters a fast idle pattern while
waiting for the I2O initialization commands after
the address translation unit (ATU) and PCI
bridge have been enabled.
LED Display During Controller Idle
When no commands are in progress and all bus activity has ceased, the controller
enters the idle state. This is indicated by a rotating pattern in LEDs 1 through 8.
LED Display During Controller Active
When the power-up sequence is complete, viewing the LEDs can help you determine
the operating status of the controller. These LED patterns are also useful for
troubleshooting. For more information on interpreting LED patterns, refer to
Appendix C, “Troubleshooting.”
Table 2-3: LED Display During Controller Active
LED Function
1 Heartbeat. Indicates that controller interrupts are enabled and that
the controller is alive. During controller activity, this LED flashes
four times a second.
2 Indicates the occurrence of a non-maskable interrupt (NMI) to the
I/O processor on the controller.

8 Indicates that there is a command on the SCSI bus. IRQ Lit only
when the controller activates an interrupt on the host PCI bus.
Cache Status LEDs
Two LEDs on the Adaptec SCSI RAID controller indicate the status of the onboard
cache RAM. For the location of the LEDs on your controller, refer to “Board Layout”
in this chapter.
•
•
The green ECC Enabled LED is lit when the installed DIMMs are ECC memory
modules. This indicates that the controller data cache is ECC protected.
The red ECC Error LED is lit when a correctable or non-correctable error has
been detected in one of the ECC DIMMs. After the error has been corrected, the
LED will be on until the controller is powered down. Cache failure information is
recorded in the controller error log.
