Hardware Installation
Introduction
The eXtremeRAID 3000 is a very versatile PCI to Fibre Channel RAID
controller with an internal Ultra2 SCSI, LVD channel. There are many
possible hardware configurations. This quick installation guide assumes that
the user is familiar with controller, disk drive, and RAID terminology.
Performing an Installation
WARNING
To avoid electrical shock, do not attempt to
perform this hardware installation with power on.
Disconnect the system from the electrical wall
outlet.
PCI Hot Plug
Please refer to Appendix D in the eXtremeRAID 3000 Installation Guide
for instructions on how to use the PCI Hot Plug feature.
Connectors, Jumpers, and LEDs
There are two Fibre external channels supported on the controller. There is
one Ultra2 SCSI internal channel that is supported on the controller. The
SCSI and Fibre connector locations are shown in Figure 1.
The back side of the controller has eight LEDs that are active indicators
while the controller is running. Please see Figure 2 for the complete
identification and location of the LEDs.
All the jumpers should normally be set to their default settings. Jumper
locations are shown in Figure 3. Please see Table 1 for default jumper
descriptions.

Installing the eXtremeRAID 3000 into the System Board

Installing the eXtremeRAID 3000 into the System
Board
1. With the power off, plug (install) the controller firmly into any 32 bit or
64 bit PCI slot, and wear a ground wrist strap as shown in Figure 4.
Notice that the black handle must fit into the side slot for a proper fit.
(refer to Figure 4).
Figure 4. Plugging the eXtremeRAID 3000 into a PCI Slot
2. Set the SCSI ID on each internal drive to a unique address between
0 and 15, but do not use address 7, as it is reserved for the controller.
See the documentation that comes with your drives for instructions on
how to do this.
Caution
Be sure to use a Fibre Channel Cabinet for the Fibre
disk drives. Do not mix SCSI and Fibre disk drives in
the same cabinet. There is no termination for Fibre
drives.
3. Disable termination on all SCSI drives connected to the controller. See
the documentation that comes with your drives for instructions on how
to do this.

4. Enable termination power on all SCSI drives connected to the
controller. See the documentation that comes with your drives for
instructions on how to do this.
Figure 5. Internal SCSI Configuration and Termination
5. Set the SCSI ID for each external disk drive to a unique address
between 0 and 15, but do not use address 7 (reserved for the controller).
Do not duplicate SCSI IDs used by internal drives designated for the
same channel. For information on how to set SCSI IDs, refer to the disk
drive documentation.
If you are using an external SCSI cabinet, see the Caution note above.
6. Connect a wide, high-density, 68-pin SCSI ribbon cable to the internal
SCSI connector on the eXtremeRAID 3000 controller and connect the
other cable connectors to any SCSI devices as required (see Figure 5).
eXtremeRAID 3000 always has the on-board SCSI termination
enabled.
7. Connect an active terminator to the end of the SCSI ribbon cable at the
end farthest from the controller (see Figure 5).
External drive cabinets usually have termination built into the end of
the SCSI bus. Check the documentation that comes with your drive
cabinet to be sure this is the case. If not, use an active terminator at the
end of the bus.
☛Note
The eXtremeRAID 3000 terminator is set to be ON.

8. Connect a Fibre cable, with the High Speed Serial Data Connector
(HSSDC), to either one or both of the external Fibre connectors on the
eXtremeRAID 3000 controller. Connect the other end of the Fibre
cable, with a 9-Pin DSUB connector, to other devices or to a Fibre
Channel Cabinet external drive cabinet, as required (see Figure 6).
