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 communication lines.

viii PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Single-Ended Adapter Installation Guide

Chapter 1. Overview
The PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Single-Ended Adapter enables you to use internal and
external small system unit system interface (SCSI) devices with system units
containing a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. The adapter conforms to
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SCSI-2 standard and the PCI local
specification, revision 2.0.
The PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Single-Ended Adapter supports fast and wide SCSI
synchronous data rates up to 10 MHz. Wide (16-bit) SCSI supports a maximum
transfer rate of 20 MB (20,000,000 bytes) per second. Narrow (8-bit) SCSI supports
a maximum transfer rate of 10 MB per second.
The PCI SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Single-Ended Adapter allows the connection of internal
and external SCSI devices.
SCSI Connectors
There are three SCSI connectors on the adapter:
External connector:
– J2 68-pin SCSI standard connector.
Internal Connectors:
– J3 68-pin high-density SCSI standard connector for 16-bit attachment
– J4 50-pin (2 by 25) SCSI standard connector for 8-bit attachment.

The adapter provides built-in SCSI terminators that are automatically enabled or
disabled depending on what cables are attached.
Handling the Adapter
Attention: Static electricity may damage your equipment. Leave the adapter in the
static-protective bag until you are ready to install the adapter.
