Read This First Before you start to install your new Adaptec controller, please take time to read this booklet. It contains an overview of the installation process and the other important information. If you have experience installing RAID subsystems, reading this can save you time and make the installation easier. Errata & Release Notes Before beginning your installation, review the errata and release notes associated with Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers, software and documentation.
This booklet describes: ■ How to view the documentation on CD-ROM ■ Installing and configuring your hardware ■ Installing Adaptec software ■ How to access Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) ■ Contacting Adaptec Technical Support Using the Adaptec CD The Adaptec SCSI RAID CD is a bootable media. You can use this CD to configure disk arrays in a host system that does not yet have an operating system installed. The CD-ROM drive must be attached to a controller and host system that recognizes bootable CDs.
When the Adaptec SCSI RAID Family install utility appears, you have the following choices: ■ Create driver disks This selection will display a dialog that lists the operating systems for which disks can be created. This lets you create disks for operating system driver installation procedures that cannot read directly from the CD-ROM. ■ Launch RAID configuration utility This selection starts the Storage Manager application so that you can configure your RAID subsystem and build disk arrays.
■ Reboot This selection will restart the computer system. As soon as the system begins to restart, remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive if you do not want to use it for the boot device. If you are using a Microsoft Windows operating system, put the CD into your CD-ROM drive.
■ Create Floppy Disks Lets you create disks for driver installation on systems that require them to install the software or drivers. ■ Install Adobe Acrobat Reader Installs Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows to let you view the Adaptec documentation in PDF format. Versions of Acrobat Reader for other platforms are also included, see Installing Adobe Acrobat Reader on page 8. If the Autorun menu does not appear automatically: 1 Click the Start button. 2 Select Run. 3 Type d:\autorun.
Adaptec Product Documentation Detailed product documentation is supplied in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. A list of supplied documents is given in the table on page 8. Both Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Acrobat Viewer are provided on the Adaptec CD-ROM. If you need to know specific information about your controller or the software, you need to use one of these PDF reader programs. You can also use a different computer with Acrobat Reader already installed.

Acrobat Reader is available from Adobe Systems as a free download. Go to http://www.adobe.
Novell NetWare Adobe Acrobat Reader and Viewer are not available for this operating system or a DOS environment. You will need to use a host system where Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Viewer is supported. UNIX Adobe Acrobat Viewer is included on the Adaptec CD to let you view Portable Document Format (PDF) files on a UNIX platform that has Java Runtime Environment 1.1.8 installed. This version is for UNIX operating systems where Acrobat Reader is not available.
Note: Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers must have at least one 32MB memory module installed. 4 Install the controller and storage devices in the appropriate enclosures. Attach all cables between the controller and the storage devices. 5 Run Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) by pressing Ctrl+A during system boot. SMOR lets you configure the controller and verify proper hardware configuration. You can also use SMOR to configure your storage subsystem and disk arrays before installing the operating system.
Configuring SCSI Termination The physical ends of each SCSI bus must be terminated. Depending upon how you configure your system, you will either terminate two SCSI devices, or the SCSI controller and one peripheral SCSI device or the last connector on the cable. Ultra2 and Ultra160 devices typically do not provide built-in termination. Note: If you are using multiple SCSI busses on a single controller, each separate bus must be terminated.
High Only termination is available only for devices on Bus 0. Devices on the second bus (Bus 1) must use 16-bit termination. By using a 68-pin to 50-pin SCSI cable adapter, an 8-bit SCSI device can be attached to a Wide SCSI cable along with Wide SCSI devices. However, the device at the end of the cable must be a Wide SCSI device so that all SCSI signals are terminated. For internal and external cables where one cable is an 8-bit (Narrow) SCSI cable, set the controller termination to High Only.
Internal Narrow SCSI Internal Wide SCSI T T External Narrow SCSI External Wide SCSI T T Controller Termination = High Only Controller Termination = Auto Internal Narrow SCSI T Internal Wide SCSI External Wide SCSI T T T Internal Wide SCSI External Wide SCSI T T External Narrow SCSI T Controller Termination = Auto T Controller Termination = High Only T = Terminated 13
Configuring Device IDs The SCSI specification allows up to seven SCSI devices (and a controller) to be connected to a single 8-bit SCSI bus. A Wide SCSI bus can support up to 15 devices and the controller. All SCSI devices, including the controller, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID. SCSI IDs, which are typically set using jumpers or switches on peripheral devices, can be assigned any number from 0 to 7 for 8-bit SCSI devices or 0 to 15 for Wide SCSI devices.
Ultra2 and Ultra160 SCSI SCSI RAID Ultra2 or Ultra160 SCSI buses support both LVD and single-ended devices, which can be mixed on the SCSI bus. However, connecting a single-ended device to an Ultra2 or Ultra160 bus forces the entire bus to run in single-ended mode with a maximum speed of 20 MHz. Do not connect older High Voltage Differential SCSI devices to a Low Voltage Differential SCSI bus. They can damage the LVD hardware.
controller that has the lowest BIOS ROM address (typically, the lowest numbered PCI slot) will become the booting controller. 5 Connect any external cables to the controller. Determining the Booting Controller Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers are shipped with an Adaptec I2O BIOS ROM enabled for PCI assignment. This ROM BIOS intercepts and processes INT13 BIOS calls with an embedded DOS driver. The Adaptec I2O BIOS ROM can be disabled or the address changed automatically by the system’s Plug-and-Play BIOS.
selected adapters to control which adapter is the boot controller. This procedure can also be helpful in situations where it is physically difficult to manage the slot order. If your system contains multiple Adaptec controllers, you can confirm which controller has been chosen as the booting controller by running SMOR. This utility will display a list of all Adaptec controllers, starting with the booting controller.
Note: ECC-protected cache is available only when using ECC memory modules. The ECC-enabled LED on the controller is lit when ECC memory is installed. LED Indicators All Adaptec controllers provide nine LEDs that let you visually monitor controller activity. Two additional LEDs (ECC EN and ECC ERR) indicate the status of the cache memory on the controller. For additional information about LEDs on SCSI RAID controllers, see the Installation Guide for your controller.
■ Fast Idle The controller enters a fast idle pattern while waiting for the I2O initialization commands after the ATU and PCI bridge have been enabled. Note: The ATU, PCI bridge and cache modules (if installed) must be configured and enabled before the I2O initialization can be completed. If any one of these components are not configured or become disabled during the Fast Idle phase, the pattern will return to the respective wait pattern for the affected component.
The following table describes the Bus Status LEDs for 3000S SCSI RAID controllers. TERMPWR-A TERMPWR-B These LEDs are lit when termination power is supplied by the controller for the respective channels. TRMEN-A TRMEN-B These LEDs are lit when termination is enabled on the controller for the respective channels. TRMENHD-A This indicates the upper 8 bits of the A channel (Bus 0) are terminated to support an 8-bit bus segment. This LED is lit when the High-Only option is selected for bus termination.
Note: If a driver for your operating system is not supplied on the Adaptec CD, contact the manufacturer of your operating system to obtain an I2O OSM. Linux Disk images are available on the CD-ROM. These disks provide drivers that support Linux kernel versions 2.2.12-20 and 2.2.14-5.0. Storage Manager for Linux is also included. Select Linux from the SCSI RAID Family Create diskette menu to create a disk for your version of Linux.
SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 and OpenServer 5 A SCO BTLD disk image is supplied on the Adaptec CD. You can create floppy disks by using the Adaptec install utility which starts when the CD is used as a boot media. You can install the driver under either SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 or OpenServer 5. SCO UnixWare 7 An I2O OSM for UnixWare 7 is available from SCO. Contact SCO Technical Support for additional information. Microsoft Windows Drivers for all Windows operating systems can be installed automatically from the CD-ROM.
Each of these cases requires a slightly different procedure. Most of the details are handled automatically by the Adaptec installation utility for Windows. You can indicate which options you want to use when prompted by the install program. For more specific information on the installation process, refer to the Installation Guide for your controller; see the table on page 8. Windows 2000 The following sections describe procedures for installing Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers under Windows 2000.

In this case, contact your technical support representative for assistance. Adaptec controller and RAID management for Linux is available through the Adaptec SMOR utility, CLI, and Storage Manager. 1 Install the Adaptec controllers and storage devices according to the instructions in Controller Installation.
Installing SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 or OpenServer 5 Drivers for SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 and SCO OpenServer 5 are included on the CD. The CD also contains a Motif version of Adaptec Storage Manager for each version of SCO UNIX. You can create floppy disks by using the Adaptec install utility which starts when the CD is used as a boot media. Note: When assigning numbers to controllers, SCO starts with 0. Storage Manager numbers controllers starting with 1.
To install SCO, use the following steps: 1 If installing SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 or ODT 3.0, boot the system with disk 1. Enter the following string at the boot prompt: defbootstr link=dpti4 If you are installing SCO UNIX 3.2V5.0.x, boot the system with the Boot Disk. Enter the following string at the boot prompt: defbootstr ahslink=dpti5 For SCO UNIX 3.2V5.04 or later the command is: defbootstr link=dpti5 2 When prompted for the SCO BTLD disk (Adaptec volume), insert disk 1 into the floppy drive.
Adding to SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 or OpenServer 5 When adding an Adaptec controller to an existing SCO UNIX configuration, perform the following steps. 1 Install the Adaptec controller. 2 Boot SCO UNIX. 3 After SCO UNIX has booted, place the Adaptec SCO driver disk in the floppy drive. 4 Run the installpkg utility. 5 SCO UNIX will read the disk and prompt you to enter the package name to be installed. Enter dpti4 for SCO UNIX 3.2V4.2 or ODT 3.0, and dpti5 for SCO OpenServer 5.
3 Copy or download the ptf file to the /tmp directory. Use the pkgadd utility to install the I2O supplement by entering the command: pkgadd –d /tmp/ptf7067e.s 4 Follow the on-screen prompts to install the SCO UnixWare I2O supplement. 5 Shutdown and reboot the system. Note: When you reboot several warning messages may appear and scroll off the screen quickly. These will not occur after diskadd is run and can be ignored.

Installing Adaptec Storage Management Software Note: If you have DPT Storage Manager software on your system, uninstall the DPT software before you install Adaptec Storage Manager.
CLI is a command line utility that provides the same functions as Storage Manager Pro and Storage Manager in an environment where a GUI is not available. Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) is a built-in utility that is part of the BIOS code on the controller. You can start SMOR by pressing Ctrl+A during the I2O BIOS startup. Storage Manager Pro Platform Compatibility You need a system with the following minimum hardware: ■ Pentium or equivalent CPU (200 MHz or faster).
Storage Manager Pro requires one of the following operating systems: ■ Windows 2000, NT 4, or 95/98 ■ NetWare 4.2 and 5.x NetWare 4.2 requires Support Pack 8a and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) 1.1.7 (dated April 11, 2000 or later). This Java package is available from http://developer.novell.com. Install the Support Pack before installing the JVM. Storage Manager Platform Compatibility ■ Microsoft Windows 2000 ■ SCO UNIX 3.2v4.2 and OpenServer 5 ■ Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 ■ SCO UnixWare 7.
Select Typical if you only need the to install the driver and supporting modules for Storage Manager Pro. Otherwise, select Custom to install additional components including the Storage Manager application. Note: Removing Storage Manager will disable support for Storage Manager Pro. You will have to uninstall both packages and reinstall them to use Storage Manager Pro. To remove Adaptec Storage Manager 1 Select Install Adaptec Storage Manager from the Storage Manager group on the Start menu.
Using Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) To configure your hardware and create disk arrays when Storage Manager is not available, run Storage Manager on ROM (SMOR) during the system boot. This is especially useful for a new system where you need to create disk arrays before you install the operating system. After configuration of your storage subsystem, install your operating system according to the procedures in the SCSI RAID Installation Guide for your controller.
IRQ and Address values may be required during installation of your operating system. 3 Create disk arrays. Array Groups can be created or modified at any time after system installation. However, if the boot device will be an array, that array must be created and built before the operating system is installed. 4 Exit SMOR when you are finished with the configuration tasks. Arrays that were created or modified start building at this time. For large arrays, this process may take several hours.
