Understanding SCSI

SCSI (pronounced “scuzzy”) stands for Small Computer Systems

Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for con-

necting SCSI peripherals (such as a hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive,

or scanner) to a common SCSI bus.

A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI adapter

card (such as the SCSI Card 2930U2) installed in a computer and one

or more SCSI peripherals. SCSI cables are used to connect the

peripherals to the SCSI adapter card.

For the SCSI bus to function properly, SCSI IDs must be assigned to

SCSI devices (SCSI peripherals and SCSI card), and the SCSI bus

must be properly terminated.

SCSI IDs

Each peripheral attached to the SCSI Card 2930U2, as well as the

SCSI Card 2930U2 itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number

from 0 to 15. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the

SCSI bus and determines priority when two or more devices are try-

ing to use the SCSI bus at the same time.

Refer to the peripheral’s documentation to set the SCSI ID. Here are

some general guidelines for SCSI IDs:

■For internal SCSI peripherals, the SCSI ID usually is set by

configuring a jumper on the peripheral.

■For external SCSI peripherals, the SCSI ID usually is set with a

switch on the back of the peripheral.

SCSI Card 2930U2 User’s Reference

■SCSI ID numbers don’t have to be sequential, as long as the

SCSI Card 2930U2 and each peripheral has a different number.

For example, you can have an internal SCSI peripheral with ID

0, and an external SCSI peripheral with ID 6.

■SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the SCSI bus. The priority

of the remaining IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0, 15 to 8.

■The SCSI Card 2930U2 is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be

changed. This gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.

■Most internal SCSI hard disk drives come from the factory pre-

set to SCSI ID 0.

■If you have 8-bit (or Narrow) SCSI peripherals, they must use

SCSI IDs 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. SCSI ID 0 is recommended for the

first SCSI hard disk drive.

■If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive

connected to the SCSI Card 2930U2, the Boot Target ID setting

in the SCSISelect®utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the

peripheral from which you are booting. By default, the Boot

Target ID is set to 0. See Boot Device Options on page 18 to

change the Boot Target ID.

■In Windows®95 and Windows 98, you can use the Device

Manager to view the SCSI ID (and other details) assigned to

each SCSI device installed.

■If you installed Adaptec®EZ-SCSI®software, you can use the

SCSI Explorer utility to view the SCSI ID (and other details)

assigned to each SCSI device installed.

Understanding SCSI

Terminating the SCSI Bus

To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the ends of the

SCSI bus must be properly terminated. This is accomplished when

the peripheral at the end of each cable, or the end of the cable itself,

has a terminator installed (or enabled). The peripherals between the

ends of each cable must have its terminator removed (or disabled).

Since the method for terminating a SCSI peripheral can vary widely,

refer to the peripheral’s documentation for instructions on how to

enable or disable termination. Here are some general guidelines for

termination:

■Termination on internal SCSI peripherals usually is controlled

by manually setting a jumper or a switch on the peripheral, or

by physically removing or installing one or more resistor mod-

ules on the peripheral.

■Termination on external SCSI peripherals usually is controlled

by installing or removing a SCSI terminator. On some external

peripherals, termination is controlled by setting a switch on the

back of the drive.

■By default, termination on the SCSI Card 2930U2 itself is auto-

matic (the preferred method). To manually set termination on

the SCSI Card 2930U2, see Configuring the SCSI Card 2930U2

with SCSISelect on page 15.

■Internal Ultra2 peripherals (such as low voltage differential

(LVD) hard disk drives) are set at the factory with termination

disabled and cannot be changed. Proper termination for inter-

nal Ultra2 peripherals is provided by the built-in terminator at

the end of the Ultra2 internal SCSI cable.

■Most non Ultra2 SCSI peripherals come from the factory with

termination enabled.

Troubleshooting

Most problems can be resolved by following the recommendations

in Troubleshooting Checklist below. If you still experience problems

after following the recommendations, continue with the remainder

of this section.

Troubleshooting Checklist

Most problems with using the SCSI Card 2930U2 result from errors

in preparing and connecting peripherals on the SCSI bus. If you

have problems, check these items first.

Note:

If you have problems with a specific SCSI peripheral

when other connected SCSI peripherals are working cor-

rectly, please contact the manufacturer of the problem

peripheral for troubleshooting information.

■Are all SCSI peripherals turned on?

■Are all SCSI cables and power cables properly connected?

■Is the SCSI Card 2930U2 firmly seated and secured in the PCI

expansion slot?

■Is the PCI expansion slot PCI Rev. 2.1 or higher compliant and

does it support Bus Mastering?

■Are all SCSI peripherals and the SCSI Card 2930U2 assigned

unique SCSI IDs? (See Setting Up SCSI Peripherals on page 3.)

■Are all SCSI peripherals terminated properly? (See Setting Up

SCSI Peripherals on page 3.)

■If your computer allows you to set up configuration options

when the computer first boots up (that is, through CMOS

setup), are the following options set up as specified?

■If there is an Interrupt Type or Interrupt Line option in the

Setup program, select Int-A or Interrupt Type = A (you may

also be required to change a motherboard jumper setting).

■If there is a Triggering Interrupt option, select Level.
