INTRODUCTION

With the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N PCI-Ultra 160 SCSI controller,

you can connect up to 15 SCSI devices, such as hard disk drives, scan-

ners, CD-ROM drives,and tape drives, to any IBM-compatible comput-

er with PCI expansion slots. The following figure shows the SCSIcon-

nectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N.

The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N is designed for computer

system original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Use this

product with the original computer system designed by the OEM;

each OEM tailors their product specifications for their specific

design needs. Adaptec assumes no responsibility for incompatibility

or consequential damages if you use the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N

in another computer system. All product support and services are

provided by the OEM.

Bus Segments on the

Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N

The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N featuresAdaptec SpeedFlex™technol-

ogy. SpeedFlex technology ensures that you get the most performance

from your Ultra160 SCSI devices by electronically isolating the

Ultra160 SCSI segment from the Ultra SCSI segment on the SCSI bus.

With the SpeedFlex advantage,the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N can

support Ultra160 SCSI devices at speeds up to 160 MBytes/sec while

simultaneously supporting Ultra (legacy) devices at speeds up to 40

MBytes/sec.

If you attach anyWide Ultra or Ultra SCSI devices to the

Ultra160-LVD connector, the data transfer rate for all devices can

run at various speeds. However, if you attach only Ultra160 and

LVD SCSI devices to the Ultra160-LVD connector, all devices will

operate at their maximum possible data transfer rate. That is,

Ultra2 devices will operate at a maximum of 80 MBytes/sec and

Ultra160 devices at a maximum of 160 MBytes/sec.

Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling your SCSI

card by touching a grounded metal object (like the exposed metal

parts on the back of your computer).

After you turn off your computer and unplug the power cord, remove

the cover from the computer.

Locate an unused PCI expansion slot and remove the expansion slot

cover. (The expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev. 2.1 or

higher and must support Bus Mastering.) Save the slot cover screw for

use in Step 4.

Computers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots. Refer to

your computer manual to locate the PCI slots. If your computer is a

tower model, lay it on its side to allow for easier installation of the

Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N.

INSTALLING THE ADAPTEC SCSI CARD 29160N

Turn OFF power to the computer and disconnect the

power cord.

Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N into the PCI expansion slot;

press down firmly until it clicks into place, then replace the slot cover

screw.

If you refer to the device’s documentation for installation

instructions, be sure to return to this document to continue with

installation of the software driver.

NOTE

There are several things you need to do to your SCSI devices before

you connect them to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N:

• Set the SCSI IDs

• Set the termination

• Connect the power cables.

Since setup can vary from device to device, always refer to the device’s

documentation for specific instructions.

Below are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination on

your devices. Refer to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N User’s Reference

for additional information on SCSI IDs and termination.

Check the SCSI IDs

The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N and each device you connect to it

must have a unique SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15.

No two devices can have the same number.

The Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N is preset to ID 7 and should not be

changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk, make sure the hard disk

SCSI ID is set to 0 or 1.Most SCSI hard disks come from the factory

preset to ID 0.The IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers;

external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the device.

Terminate the Ends

To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the device at the

end of each cable, or the end of the cable itself, must have a terminator

installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or termination

must be disabled, on devices between the ends of each cable.

512512final.qxd 12/17/99 2:05 PM Page 5

You can connect a total of 15 SCSI devices to the Adaptec SCSI Card

29160N. Before connecting devices, be sure to also review Setting Up

SCSI Devices on page 4.

We recommend that you keep your Ultra160-LVD devices

separate from your Ultra devices. Connecting an Ultra

device to the Ultra 160-LVD SCSI connector forces the Ultra160-

LVD SCSI segment and any attached devices to drop down to Ultra

SCSI performance levels. (See Bus Segments on the Adaptec SCSI

Card 29160N on page 2.)

NOTE

Locate the 68-pin internal LVD SCSI cable, as shown below:

CONNECTING SCSI DEVICES

STEP 1

Internal Ultra 160-LVD SCSI Connector

(68-pin)

Connect internal LVD and Ultra 160-LVD devices using the internal

Ultra160-LVD connector. To do this, use a 68-pin internal LVD cable,

similar to the one shown in Step 1 below. Follow these steps to connect

your internal LVD and Ultra160 devices:

Terminator Connect to Ultra160-LVD and

Ultra2 Devices Connect to the Adaptec

SCSI Card 29160N

512512final.qxd 12/17/99 2:05 PM Page 6

Plug the non-terminated end of the cable to the Ultra160-LVD

connector on theAdaptec SCSI Card 29160N.

Internal LVD SCSI or Ultra160 SCSI devices come from

the factory with termination disabled and cannot be changed.

Proper termination is provided by the terminator at the end of the

LVD SCSI cable.

Connect to Fast/Ultra Narrow

Device (Terminated)

SCSI or Ultra Narrow SCSI devices have standard 50-pin connectors.

To connect these internal devices, you will need a 50-pin internal Ultra

SCSI cable,similar to the one shown in Step 1 below.Follow these

steps to connect your standard internal Fast SCSI or Ultra Narrow

devices:

Locate the 50-pin internal Ultra SCSI cable.

STEP 1

Plug the long end of the cable to the 50-pin internal Fast/Ultra-SE

SCSI connector.

Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Fast SCSI or Ultra

Narrow SCSI device.

Connect the other end of the external SCSI cable to a SCSI connector

on the back of the external SCSI device. If you are installing only one

external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 4.

INSTALLING DRIVER SOFTWARE

To use the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N,driver software

must be installed for your operating system. Installation of

the driver software varies depending on how and where you pur-

chased the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N.

Pre-loaded Adaptec Drivers

If the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160N was included as part of a computer

system you purchased, the system already has the appropriate Adaptec

driver pre-installed by the computer manufacturer. No further action

is necessary to install the driver.
