This guide explains how to install the AHA®-398x

RAID adapters: the AHA-3980, AHA-3980W,

AHA-3985, and AHA-3985W. The guide contains the

information most users need to quickly install the

RAID adapters. If you have never installed SCSI devices,

you may prefer to use the detailed installation instruc-

tions in AHA-3980/3980W/3985/3985W User’s Guide.

READ THIS FIRST!

Before you continue, make sure your system meets

the following minimum requirements. If it does not,

the AHA-398x will not work!

■The motherboard chipset and system BIOS must

support

– PCI-to-PCI bridges

– A 64-KByte BIOS

– Multiple interrupts

– at least one full length PCI slot

To determine whether your motherboard pro-

vides this support, contact your vendor, or call

Adaptec’s Interactive Fax system for a list of com-

patible motherboards (the number is on page 12).

■The computer must comply with PCI Rev. 2.0.

■If you are running NetWare 3.11, the

clib.nlm

must

be version 3.12 or above. See the Troubleshooting

Checklist on page 10 for more information.

AHA-398x Overview

Each AHA-3980 and AHA-3980W has two SCSI chan-

nels: A and B. Each AHA-3985 and AHA-3985W has

three SCSI channels: A, B, and C.

The AHA-3980 and AHA-3985 are 8-bit adapters.

Each channel on these adapters supports up to seven

8-bit SCSI devices. The AHA-3980W and AHA-3985W

are 16-bit adapters. On these adapters, each channel

supports up to 15 SCSI devices. All 15 devices can be

16-bit, or you can combine 8-bit and 16-bit devices. If

you combine devices, a maximum of seven can be

8-bit devices.

AHA-398x adapters support SCSI devices running

under Novell NetWare 3.11, 3.12, and 4.x. They also

support most SCSI CD-ROM drives and hard disk

Installing the AHA-398x

WARNING: Unplug the computer from its

power source before you begin.

1Remove the cover from the computer case.

2Locate an unused, unobstructed 5-volt PCI bus

slot that supports bus mastering.

AHA-398x host adapters require a full-length PCI

slot. If your system has only one full-length slot

and the slot is already occupied, you will need to

move the existing board to another slot.

3Remove the corresponding slot cover from the

back of the computer chassis. Keep the screw that

held the cover in place.

Note: We recommend that you leave the PCI

interrupt jumper in place (see the AHA-398x

layout diagrams on page 2). This is the

default setting for PCI motherboards that

support PCI interrupts A and B.

4If the PCI slot has a card guide for aligning cards,

insert the end of the AHA-398x in the card guide.

5Carefully press the AHA-398x into the PCI slot

until the adapter is securely seated in the slot.

6Attach the AHA-398x bracket to the computer

chassis with the screw you removed in step 3.

7(Optional) On most computers, an LED light on the

front computer panel indicates activity on the hard

disk. You can have the light indicate activity on the

AHA-398x instead; the LED will no longer light

when non-SCSI disk drives are active. To change

the LED, unplug the LED cable from the mother-

board (for the cable location, see your computer

documentation); then connect the cable to the LED

connector on the AHA-398x (see AHA-398x Layout

on page 2). If the LED has a two-position cable,

connect it to pins 1 and 2 of the LED connector (the

two pins nearest the outer edge of the board).

Connecting SCSI Devices

You can attach internal devices to Channel A, B, or

C. External devices must attach to Channel A, which

is the only channel with an external connector.

Remember, each channel on an AHA-3980 or

AHA-3985 supports up to seven 8-bit devices. If you

attach one SCSI device to the internal connector of

Channel A, for example, you can attach up to six

devices to the external connector—a total of seven

devices on the channel. On an AHA-3980W or

AHA-3985W, each channel supports up to 15 devices

—either 16-bit devices alone or a combination of

16-bit and up to seven 8-bit devices.

Caution: AHA-398x adapters support only

single-ended SCSI devices. Do not connect dif-

ferential SCSI devices to the adapter. To deter-

mine the device type, read the device

documentation or contact your vendor.

General Considerations

When you attach the SCSI devices, remember the fol-

lowing constraints:

■If you combine 8-bit and 16-bit devices on an

external AHA-3980W or AHA-3985W channel,

you must attach the 8-bit devices after the 16-bit

devices; once you step down to an 8-bit device,

you cannot step back up to a 16-bit device. You

need a 68-pin-to-50-pin connector to attach the

last external 16-bit device to the first 8-bit device.

■On each channel, the total length of cabling (inter-

nal and external) should not exceed

– three meters (9.8 feet) if you use Fast SCSI data

transfer rates such as the default rate (see Maxi-

mum Sync Transfer Rate in the table on

page 8)

– six meters (19.7 feet) if you are using 5 MByte/

sec asynchronous or synchronous data transfer

rates

Connecting Internal SCSI Devices

The AHA-398x kit includes SCSI ribbon cables, each of

which has several connectors for attaching internal

devices to the AHA-398x. The connector at one end of

each cable attaches to a passthrough terminator. This

connector can still attach to a SCSI device, even with

the terminator in place.

Note: If the cables do not have enough con-

nectors for all SCSI devices, you can purchase

additional cables from Adaptec at the number

on page 12.

To attach the internal devices, follow these steps:

1Attach the SCSI connector at one end of the rib-

bon cable (the end without the terminator) to the

internal connector for Channel A, B, or C, match-

ing pin 1 on the ribbon cable with pin 1 on the

channel connector. Pin 1 on the ribbon cable is

usually marked with a contrasting color on one

edge of the cable. Pin 1 on the channel connector

is marked with a 1.

2Attach the SCSI connector on the passthrough ter-

minator to the SCSI connector on the first SCSI

device, matching pin 1 on the terminator connec-

tor with pin 1 on the device. Pin 1 on device con-

nectors is usually marked by a triangle or a 1.

Note: If you use cables without a passthrough

terminator, you must terminate the end SCSI

device; see Terminating the SCSI Bus on page 6.

3To connect other internal SCSI devices, attach

them to the other connectors on the ribbon cable,

matching pin 1 on the ribbon cable with pin 1 on

the device connector.

Connecting External SCSI Devices

For each external SCSI device, obtain a high-quality

external cable with a single-ended impedance rangeof

80–110 ohms. The cables should be at least 30 cm

(11.8 inches) long. Use the cables to connect external

SCSI devices as follows:

1Attach the SCSI connector at one end of an exter-

nal SCSI cable to the external Channel A connec-

tor (see the board layout on page 2). External

cable connectors can be plugged-in only one way.

2Attach the connector at the other end of the external

cable to either SCSI connector on the SCSI device.

3Connect other external SCSI devices sequentially

from one device to the next, with no branching

(see the following figure).

Terminating the SCSI Bus

Each end of the SCSI bus must be electrically termi-

nated. Follow these instructions:

1 See the device documentation for instructions.

Setting SCSI IDs

Assign each device on a channel, including the chan-

nel itself, a unique SCSI ID—no duplicate IDs are

permitted on a channel. Allowable IDs are 0 through

7 for SCSI devices on the AHA-3980 and AHA-3985.

On the AHA-3980W and AHA-3985W, allowable IDs

are 0 through 15. ID 7 has the highest priority on the

channel. The priority of the remaining IDs, in

descending order, is 6 to 0, then 15 to 8.

We recommend using the following IDs:

■Leave the channel (RAID adapter) ID at the

default, 7.

■If another adapter is attached to the channel,

make sure its ID is not also 7. If it is, change either

the channel ID or the adapter ID to 6.

■If you are booting from a SCSI hard disk, assign it

ID 0 and connect it to Channel A. (If you prefer to

connect it to Channel B or C, see AHA-3980/3980W/

3985/3985W User’s Guide for special instructions.)

For instructions on changing the channel ID, see

Changing AHA-398x Settings on page 8. For instruc-

tions on changing the IDs of other SCSI devices, see

the device documentation.

Completing Installation

Put the chassis cover back on the computer, follow-

ing the directions in the computer documentation.

Be sure all power switches are in the OFF position,

then reconnect power cables to your computer.

To verify that the SCSI devices work properly, turn ON

the SCSI device(s) first, then turn ON the computer.

When the computer boots, the AHA-398x BIOS sign-

on message should appear on the screen. This mes-

sage lists installed SCSI devices and information

about the BIOS. If the AHA-398x BIOS message does

not appear, see Troubleshooting Checklist on page 10.
