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.

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

2.3 Terminating the SCSI Bus
The devices making up the SCSI bus are connected serially (chained
together) with SCSI cables. The first and last physical SCSI devices
connected on the ends of the SCSI bus must have their terminators
active. All other SCSI devices on the bus must have their terminators
removed or disabled. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s instructions
and to the user’s manual for your computer for information on how to
identify the terminator setting of each device and how to change it.
To utilize Ultra160 SCSI performance, you must only have LVD devices
on the bus. Do not mix any SE devices with LVD devices or the entire
bus will drop to SE speed, limiting bus performance to Ultra SCSI. LVD
peripheral devices are normally terminated with external terminators, but
are sometimes set with jumpers or with a switch on the peripheral.
2-8
Detailed Host Adapter Installation
The Ultra160 SCSI host adapters automatically control SCSI bus
termination for various bus configurations.
In one case, you may disable termination by using BIOS software control
to change the BIOS termination from Automatic to Off.
In another case where jumpers are provided on the board, you would
locate the shunts on the board for autotermination override. Termination
can be disabled by placing a manual shunt over the post. When the
shunt is off, the terminator is active. When the shunt is on the post, the
autotermination.
Figure 2.7 Autotermination Shunt
Autotermination enabled (no jumper installed)
Termination disabled (jumper installed)
2.3.1 Internal and External SCSI Terminations
If you are making internal SCSI device connections to your host adapter,
you must terminate the last internal device on the SCSI bus. If you are
making external SCSI device connections to your host adapter, you must
terminate the last external device on the SCSI bus. You must disable the
termination on all other devices. Termination on your host adapter is
automatically enabled in this case.
2.3.2 Setting SCSI IDs
You must set each SCSI device and the host adapter to a separate SCSI
ID. The IDs are 0 through 7 for an 8-bit bus and 0 through 15 for a 16-bit
bus. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest
priority on the SCSI bus.
If you plan to boot your computer from a hard disk drive on the SCSI
bus, that drive should have SCSI ID 0, or the lowest SCSI ID on the bus.
Normally, you do not change the host adapter SCSI ID setting. If you
wish to do so, refer to the PCI Storage Device Management System
SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide, which explains how to set your host adapter ID
using the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
Terminating the SCSI Bus
2-9
The peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or with a
switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s
instructions and to the user’s manual for your computer to determine the
ID of each device and how to change it. No duplication of SCSI IDs is
allowed on a SCSI bus. To set your SCSI IDs, follow these steps:
Step 1. Determine the SCSI ID of each device on the SCSI bus.
Step 2. Make any necessary changes to the SCSI IDs and record the
IDs for future reference. Correct any duplications at this time.

1. This parameter may be exceeded in point-to-point and engineered
applications.
2. LVD was not defined in the original SCSI standards for this speed. If all
devices on the bus support LVD, then 12-meter operation is possible at
this speed. However, if any device on the bus is SE only, then the entire
bus switches to SE mode, and the distances in the SE column apply.
3. SE and High Voltage Differential (HVD) are not defined at greater than
Ultra speeds.
3.3.1 Internal SCSI Cables
You can make internal SCSI bus connections to your Ultra160 SCSI host
adapter with an unshielded, 68- or 50-conductor ribbon cable. Some
internal cables come with an LVD/SE terminator on one end. This end
examples of internal cables.

Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapter Characteristics
Appendix A
Glossary of Terms and
Abbreviations
Active
Termination
The electrical connection required at each end of the SCSI bus,
composed of active voltage regulation and a set of termination resistors.
Ultra, Ultra2, and Ultra160 SCSI require active termination.
AIP
Asynchronous Information Protection (AIP) provides error checking for
asynchronous, nondata phases of the SCSI bus.
BIOS
Basic Input/Output System. Software that provides basic read/write
capability. Usually kept as firmware (ROM based). The system BIOS on
the mainboard of a computer is used to boot and control the system. The
SCSI BIOS on your host adapter acts as an extension of the system
BIOS.
Configuration
CRC
Refers to the way a computer is setup; the combined hardware
components (computer, monitor, keyboard, and peripheral devices) that
make up a computer system; or the software settings that allow the
hardware components to communicate with each other.
Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is an error detection code used in
Ultra160 SCSI. Four bytes are transferred with the data to increase the
reliability of data transfers. CRC is used on the Double Transition (DT)
Data-In and DT Data-Out phases.
DMA Bus
Master
A feature that allows a peripheral to control the flow of data to and from
system memory by blocks, as opposed to PIO (Programmed I/O) where
the processor is in control and the flow is by byte.
Device Driver
A program that allows a microprocessor (through the operating system)
to direct the operation of a peripheral device.
Differential SCSI A hardware configuration for connecting SCSI devices. It uses a pair of
lines for each signal transfer (as opposed to Single-Ended SCSI which
references each SCSI signal to a common ground).
Ultra160 SCSI to PCI Host Adapters
A-1
Domain
Validation
Domain Validation is a software procedure in which a host queries a
device to determine its ability to communicate at the negotiated Ultra160
data rate.
Double
Transition
Clocking
In Double Transition (DT) Clocking, data is sampled on both the asserting
and deasserting edge of the REQ/ACK signal. DT clocking may only be
implemented on an LVD SCSI bus.
EEPROM
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. A memory
chip typically used to store configuration information. See NVRAM.
External SCSI
Device
A SCSI device installed outside the computer cabinet. These devices are
connected in a continuous chain using specific types of shielded cables.
Host
The computer system in which a SCSI host adapter is installed. It uses
the SCSI host adapter to transfer information to and from devices
attached to the SCSI bus.
Host Adapter
A circuit board or integrated circuit that provides a SCSI bus connection
to the computer system.
Internal SCSI
Device
A SCSI device installed inside the computer cabinet. These devices are
connected in a continuous chain using an unshielded ribbon cable.
Local Bus
A way to connect peripherals directly to computer memory. It bypasses
the slower ISA and EISA buses. PCI is a local bus standard.
Mainboard
A large circuit board that holds RAM, ROM, the microprocessor, custom
integrated circuits, and other components that make a computer work. It
also has expansion slots for host adapters and other expansion boards.
Main Memory
NVRAM
The part of a computer’s memory which is directly accessible by the CPU
(usually synonymous with RAM).
NonVolatile Random Access Memory. Actually an EEPROM
(Electronically Erasable Read Only Memory chip) used to store
configuration information. See EEPROM.
PCI
Peripheral Component Interconnect. A local bus specification that allows
connection of peripherals directly to computer memory. It bypasses the
slower ISA and EISA buses.
A-2
Glossary of Terms and Abbreviations
Peripheral
Devices
A piece of hardware (such as a video monitor, disk drive, printer, or
CD-ROM) used with a computer and under the computer’s control. SCSI
peripherals are controlled through a SCSI host adapter.
Pin-1
Orientation
The alignment of pin 1 on a SCSI cable connector and the pin-1 position
on the SCSI connector into which it is inserted. External SCSI cables are
always keyed to insure proper alignment, but internal SCSI ribbon cables
sometimes are not keyed.
RAM
ROM
Random Access Memory. The computer’s primary working memory in
which program instructions and data are stored and are accessible to the
CPU. Information can be written to and read from RAM. The contents of
RAM are lost when the computer is turned off.
Read Only Memory. Memory from which information can be read but not
changed. The contents of ROM are not erased when the computer is
turned off.
SCAM
SCSI
SCSI Configured AutoMatically. A method to automatically allocate SCSI
IDs using software when SCAM compliant SCSI devices are attached.
Small Computer System Interface. A specification for a high-performance
peripheral bus and command set. The original standard is referred to as
SCSI-1.
SCSI Bus
A host adapter and one or more SCSI peripherals connected by cables
in a linear chain configuration. The host adapter may exist anywhere on
the chain, allowing connection of both internal and external SCSI
devices. A system may have more than one SCSI bus by using multiple
host adapters.
SCSI Device
SCSI ID
Any device that conforms to the SCSI standard and is attached to the
SCSI bus by a SCSI cable. This includes SCSI host adapters and SCSI
peripherals.
A way to uniquely identify each SCSI device on the SCSI bus. Each
SCSI bus has eight available SCSI IDs numbered 0 through 7 (or 0
through 15 for Wide SCSI). The host adapter usually gets the highest ID
(7 or 15) giving it priority to control the bus.
SDMS
Storage Device Management System. An LSI Logic software product that
manages SCSI system I/O.
A-3
Single-Ended
SCSI
A hardware specification for connecting SCSI devices. It references each
SCSI signal to a common ground. This is the most common method (as
opposed to differential SCSI which uses a separate ground for each
signal).
Synchronous
Data Transfer
One of the ways data is transferred over the SCSI bus. Transfers are
clocked with fixed frequency pulses. This is faster than asynchronous
data transfer. Synchronous data transfers are negotiated between the
SCSI host adapter and each SCSI device.
Ultra SCSI
A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
20 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus and up to 40 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit
SCSI bus.
Ultra2 SCSI
A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
40 Mbytes/s over an 8-bit SCSI bus, and up to 80 Mbytes/s over a
16-bit SCSI bus.
Ultra160 SCSI
VHDCI
A standard for SCSI data transfers. It allows a transfer rate of up to
160 Mbytes/s over a 16-bit SCSI bus.
