Safety
Information
DANGER
An
electrical
outlet
that
is
not
correctly
wired
could
place
hazardous
voltage
on
metal
parts
of
the
system
or
the
devices
that
attach
to
the
system.
It
is
the
responsibility
of
the
customer
to
ensure
that
the
outlet
is
correctly
wired
and
grounded
to
prevent
an
electrical
shock.
Before
installing
or
removing
signal
cables,
ensure
that
the
power
cables
for
the
system
unit
and
all
attached
devices
are
unplugged.
When
adding
or
removing
any
additional
devices
to
or
from
the
system,
ensure
that
the
power
cables
for
those
devices
are
unplugged
before
the
signal
cables
are
connected.
If
possible,
disconnect
all
power
cables
from
the
existing
system
before
you
add
a
device.
Use
one
hand,
when
possible,
to
connect
or
disconnect
signal
cables
to
prevent
a
possible
shock
from
touching
two
surfaces
with
different
electrical
potentials.
During
an
electrical
storm,
do
not
connect
cables
for
display
stations,
printers,
telephones,
or
station
protectors
for
communications
lines.

Handling
Static-Sensitive
Devices
Attention:
Static
electricity
can
damage
this
device
and
your
system
unit.
To
avoid
damage,
keep
this
device
in
its
antistatic
protective
bag
until
you
are
ready
to
install
it.
To
reduce
the
possibility
of
electrostatic
discharge,
follow
the
precautions
listed
below:
v
Limit
your
movement.
Movement
can
cause
static
electricity
to
build
up
around
you.
v
Handle
the
device
carefully,
holding
it
by
its
edges
or
its
frame.
v
Do
not
touch
solder
joints,
pins,
or
other
printed
circuitry.
v
Do
not
leave
the
device
where
others
can
handle
and
possibly
damage
the
device.
v
While
the
device
is
still
in
its
antistatic
package,
touch
it
to
an
unpainted
metal
part
of
the
system
unit
for
at
least
two
seconds.
(This
drains
static
electricity
from
the
package
and
from
your
body).
v
Remove
the
device
from
its
package
and
install
it
directly
into
your
system
unit
without
setting
it
down.
If
it
is
necessary
to
set
the
device
down,
place
it
on
its
static-protective
package.
(If
your
device
is
an
adapter,
place
it
component-side
up).
Do
not
place
the
device
on
your
system
unit
cover
or
on
a
metal
table.
v
Take
additional
care
when
handling
devices
during
cold
weather,
as
heating
reduces
indoor
humidity
and
increases
static
electricity.
v
If
you
have
an
antistatic
wrist
strap
available,
use
it
while
handling
the
device.

Overview
Note:
This
guide
refers
to
various
hardware
and
software
features
and
functions.
The
support
for
these
features
and
functions
depends
upon
the
limitations
of
your
hardware
and
software.
AIX
and
Linux
support
all
functions
mentioned.
If
you
are
using
another
operating
system,
consult
the
appropriate
documentation
for
that
operating
system
regarding
support
for
the
mentioned
features
and
functions.
This
guide
describes
how
to
install
the
PCI-X
Dual
Channel
Ultra320
SCSI
Adapter
in
a
system
unit
with
a
PCI
(peripheral
component
interconnect)
bus.
The
PCI-X
Dual
Channel
Ultra320
SCSI
Adapter
enables
you
to
use
internal
and
external
SCSI
(small
computer
system
interface)
8-bit
or
16-bit
devices.
Each
channel
operates
independently
with
external
LVD
(low
voltage
differential)
subsystems,
internal
LVD
devices,
or
external
SE
(single-ended)
devices
(see
Appendix
C,
“Connecting
SCSI
Devices
to
the
Adapter,”
on
page
33).
None
of
these
configurations
can
be
connected
simultaneously
on
a
channel
(see
“PCI-X

on
page

The
adapter
conforms
to
the
ANSI
(American
National
Standards
Institute)
SCSI
Standard
X3T10/1365D
and
to
the
PCI
local

Attention:
Simultaneous
use
of
internally

externally
attached
devices
on
the
same
channel
is
not
supported
with
this
adapter.
The
following
figure
shows
the
external
and
internal
channels.
Note:
The
adapter
has
built-in
SCSI
terminators
on
each
channel
that
are
automatically
enabled
when
a
cable
is
attached
to
either
the
external
or
internal
connector.
This
adapter
might
be
preinstalled
in
a
hot-swap
carrier
for
use
in
certain
system
types.
This
carrier
allows
the
adapter
to
be
installed
and
removed
without
removing
the
top
cover
of
the
system
in
which
it
is
installed.

Determining
Cable
Needs
Use
this
section
to
determine
your
cable
needs.
External
Cable
Connectors
External
SCSI
devices
are
manufactured
with
a
variety
of
connectors.
Ensure
that
you
have
cables
with
the
correct
connectors
for
each
external
8-bit
or
16-bit
device
in
your
planned
SCSI
chain.
LVD
subsystems
come
with
a
cable
having
a
VHDCI
connector
to
attach
to
the
adapter’s
VHDCI
connector.
For
either
external
8-bit
or
16-bit
single-ended
devices,
the
cable
end
going
to
the
adapter
is
a
68-position
high-density
plastic
D-shell
connector.
This
connector
joins
to
a
VHDCI
to
P-shell
converter
cable,
which
plugs
into
the
adapter.
External
Cable
Lengths
SCSI
specifications
limit
the
total
cable
length
attached
as
a
function
of
SCSI
bus
speed
as
follows:
v
To
attach
an
LVD
subsystem
running
at
Ultra2
speed
(80
MB/s),
Ultra3
speed
(160
MB/s),
or
Ultra320
speed
(320
MB/s),
the
maximum
cable
length
is
20
meters
(approximately
60
feet).
v
To
attach
an
Ultra,
20
MHz
synchronous
device
(such
as
a
16-bit
SCSI
disk
drive
that
can
transfer
up
to
40
MB/s
of
data),
the
maximum
cable
length
is
3
meters
(approximately
10
feet).
Up
to
two
devices
can
be
attached.
v
To
attach
a
fast,
10
MHz
synchronous
device
(such
as
an
8-bit
SCSI
disk
that
can
transfer
up
to
10
MB/s
of
data
or
a
16-bit
SCSI
disk
that
can
transfer
up
to
20

data),
the
maximum
cable
length
is
3
meters

Internal
Cable
Connectors
Depending
on
your
machine
type,
up
to
six
(6)
SCSI
devices
can
be
plugged
into
a
backplane.
A
16-bit
cable
attaches
the
adapter’s
internal
connector
Channel
0
(J2)
or
Channel
1
(J3)
to
the
backplane.
