related publications section in the Preface.
1.2 Obtaining Windows NT/Windows 2000 Drivers
Before you begin the Ultra160 SCSI host adapter installation, create a
Windows NT or Windows 2000 driver diskette by copying the driver files
from either the LSI Logic SDMS CD-ROM or from the LSI Logic web site
at http://www.lsilogic.com. If you obtain the driver software from the
LSI Logic web site, the zipped package that you download contains the
appropriate files. To obtain the driver software from the SDMS Software
Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM Release 4.x, copy all the files
starting from the I386 subdirectory through the MINIPORT subdirectory
(I386/WINNT/MINIPORT) to the root directory of a clean diskette. You will
use the driver diskette during installation process.
{CDROM Drive}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\WINNT\ULTRA3NT\I386
or
{CDROM Drive}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010\WIN2K\ULTRA32K\I386
Additionally, Channel Marketing provides the driver software on their
SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM, Release 1.x. Copy
all the files from the Ultra160 subdirectory to the root directory of a
clean diskette. You will use this SDMS driver diskette during installation.

Quick Host Adapter Installation 1-3
1.3 Quick Host Adapter Installation
If you are an experienced computer user with prior host adapter
installation and SCSI bus setup experience, this section may sufficiently
describe the installation procedure for you. If you prefer more detailed
instructions and guidance, refer to Section 2.1, “Installing your Ultra160
SCSI Host Adapter,” page 2-1.
To install an LSI Logic Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapter, follow these
steps:
Step 1. Ground yourself before handling the host adapter board to
discharge static electricity.
Step 2. Remove the host adapter board from its packing and examine
it for any damage. Retain the packing for future use.
Step 3. Turn off and unplug your computer and peripherals.
Step 4. Open your PC cabinet by removing its cover.
Step 5. Locate the slot for installing PCI plug-in boards.
Step 6. Insert your Ultra160 SCSI host adapter board into the selected
PCI (32 or 64 bit) slot.
Step 7. Connect the internal and external SCSI peripherals.
Optional: Connect the LED cable on your SCSI host adapter.
Step 8. Terminate the SCSI bus.
The SCSI bus requires proper termination and no duplicate
SCSI IDs.
Step 9. Set the peripheral SCSI IDs. Do not duplicate the SCSI IDs.
Step 10. Make any configuration changes.
Step 11. Replace your PC cabinet cover.
Step 12. Plug in all power cords, turn on the peripherals, and then turn
on your computer.
The host adapter installation is complete.

1-4 Quick Installation Procedures
1.4 Quick Windows NT/Windows 2000 Driver Installation
To load the SYM_U3.SYS miniport driver during a new Windows NT or
Windows 2000 system installation, you can boot directly from the
Microsoft installation CD-ROM. The Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000
drivers are not interchangeable, however the instructions are very similar.
To install a new Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system and its
appropriate device driver, follow these steps:
Step 1. Have the Windows NT driver diskette or Windows 2000 driver
diskette available for inserting into the A: drive when prompted.
Step 2. Boot the computer from the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or
Windows 2000 CD-ROM.
Step 3. Press the F6 key when the words Setup is inspecting your
computer's hardware configuration appear, or when
prompted by Windows 2000 for nonsupported drivers.
Important: You must press the F6 key for the new driver to be
recognized. Otherwise, the system does not recognize the
devices controlled by the driver during the Windows setup.
Step 4. Follow the instructions until a screen displaying the words
Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass
storage device… appears.
Step 5. Choose S to Specify Additional Devices.
Step 6. Follow the prompts and insert the Windows NT Driver Diskette
or Windows 2000 Driver Diskette when prompted.
Step 7. Follow the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
installation procedure to complete the installation. Microsoft
provides documentation with their installation CD-ROM.
Step 8. Install the Windows NT 4.0 Service Packs 5 or higher after
Windows NT 4.0 has been installed.
Note: Refer to the PCI Storage Device Management System
SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide for device driver installation
instructions that fully support Windows, UNIX, and Netware
operating systems.

Chapter 2
Detailed Host Adapter
Installation
This chapter provides detailed instructions on how to install the LSI Logic
Ultra160 SCSI to PCI host adapters and includes these topics:
•Section 2.1, “Installing your Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter,” page 2-1
•Section 2.2, “Connecting SCSI Peripherals,” page 2-4
•Section 2.3, “Terminating the SCSI Bus,” page 2-8
•Section 2.4, “Completing the Installation,” page 2-11
2.1 Installing your Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter
This section provides detailed instructions for installing your host adapter
board and connecting it to your SCSI peripherals. The following
illustrations depict the LSI21003 PCI to Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI
Host Adapter. However, these illustrations are applicable to all boards.
2.1.1 Selecting a PCI Slot
Step 1. Ground yourself before removing the host adapter board from
its package to discharge static electricity.
Caution: Ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface
before handling boards. Static charges on your body can
damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by
the edge; do not touch board components or gold
connector contacts. The use of a static ground strap is
recommended.
Step 2. Remove your Ultra160 SCSI host adapter from its packing and
verify it is not damaged.
Step 3. Turn off and unplug your computer and peripherals.

2-2 Detailed Host Adapter Installation
Step 4. Remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the PCI
slots.
Step 5. Locate the PCI slots on your computer.
Use a 32-bit slot for 32-bit host adapters and a 64-bit slot for
64-bit host adapters. You may insert a 64-bit host adapter into
a 32-bit slot if not 64-bit slots are available. Refer to the user’s
manual supplied with your computer to confirm the location of
the PCI slots.
2.1.2 Inserting the Host Adapter
Perform the following steps to install your Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter in
your PC mainboard.
Step 1. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use.
Save the bracket screw.
Step 2. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into
the PCI slot.
Step 3. Make sure the edge connector is properly aligned before
pressing the board into place. The bracket around connector J3
should fit where the blank bracket panel was removed.
Figure 2.1 illustrates the hardware connections. All the
connectors in this example pertain to the LSI21003. Other
Ultra160 SCSI host adapters will have different connector
labels depending on the board design. Refer to Chapter 3,
“Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapter Characteristics,” for more
information.

Installing your Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter 2-3
Figure 2.1 Hardware Connections for the Host Adapter
Note: Notice that the components on a Ultra160 SCSI to PCI host
adapter face the opposite way from non-PCI adapter
boards you may have in your system. This is correct. The
board is keyed to go in only one way.
Step 4. Secure the bracket with the bracket screw before making the
internal and external SCSI bus connections. Figure 2.2 shows
an example of how to insert your host adapter. All LSI Logic
Ultra160 SCSI to PCI host adapters require a PCI slot that
allows bus master operation.

This section provides information about making internal and external
SCSI connections.
2.2.1 Making Internal Wide SCSI Bus Connections
This section provides step-by-step instructions for making internal SCSI
bus connections. These steps refer to connectors that are specific to the
LSI21003. Internal and external connectors can be 50-pin or 68-pin.
Refer to Section 3.3.1, “Internal SCSI Cables,” page 3-10 for examples
of internal cables.
If you have only external connections, skip to Section 2.2.2, “Making
External SCSI Bus Connections,” otherwise follow these steps:
64-Bit slots
Secure the bracket with the
