Installation Default Settings Your host adapter is already configured for the majority of computers. The table below lists the default settings. Description Default Setting Configured By AMM-1525M/1510M/525M: Sound Chip Base Address 220h J9 IDE Port Address Secondary (170h - 177h) J4 IDE Port Enable Enabled J4 AMM-1525M/525M: AMM-1525M/1510M: 1 Interrupt Channel (IRQ) 11 J10 I/O Port Address 340h - 35Eh J10 Host Adapter Termination Enabled1 Host Adapter SCSI ID 7 – aspi2dos.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide Setting Jumpers In most cases, you do not need to change any of the default jumper settings; however, if you need to change any of them, do it before installing your host adapter. Installing and Removing Jumper Connectors Configuring a jumper setting on the AMM-1525M/1510M/525M involves installing or removing a small plastic jumper connector on the pins of the jumper blocks.
Installation I/O Port Address (AMM-1525M/1510M Only) Pin pair PRI on jumper block J10 configures the I/O port address range of the host adapter. Each AMM-1525M/1510M and expansion board installed in your system must be assigned a unique I/O Port Address range. The available settings are = I/O Port Address 140h-15Eh AL = I/O Port Address 340h-35Eh * AL * = Default Sound Chip Base Address Jumper block J9 configures the sound chip base address.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide IDE Port Enable (AMM-1525M/525M Only) Jumper block J4 enables or disables the IDE port address. The available settings are 1 3 1 2 4 2 Enabled (Default) 3 4 Disabled If you are using the IDE controller on the host adapter, leave this setting enabled. If you are not using the IDE controller on the host adapter, disable this setting.
Installation 2 Locate an unused expansion bus slot in your system and remove the corresponding slot screw and cover. 3 Carefully remove the AMM-1525M/1510M/525M from the antistatic bag. Place the host adapter on top of the bag if you need to set it down. 4 Align and insert the host adapter in the expansion slot. 5 Secure the host adapter in your system.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide Figure 2-3. Installing the Host Adapter Connecting SCSI Devices (AMM-1525M/1510M Only) This section details connecting SCSI devices. For connecting IDE devices, see Connecting IDE Devices (AMM-1525M/525M Only) on page 2-16. Always use high-quality SCSI cables to connect the host adapter to devices on the SCSI bus. Poor-quality cables can cause data corruption, parity errors, and other problems.
Installation Caution: Only single-ended internal SCSI devices are supported by the AMM-1525M/1510M. Differential SCSI devices may be damaged if connected to the host adapter bus. Most SCSI devices currently produced are single-ended SCSI devices. Consult your SCSI device documentation. Connecting Internal SCSI Devices Internal SCSI devices use a 50-pin flat SCSI ribbon cable with a 50-pin header internal connector.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide Note: When cabling the 50-pin internal SCSI ribbon cable to both the host adapter and internal SCSI device(s), make sure that pin-1 orientation is maintained throughout the bus. Pin 1 of the SCSI ribbon cable is designated by a colored stripe on one edge of the ribbon cable. Pin 1 of the host adapter or SCSI device connector is usually designated by an arrow, a delta symbol (▲), or a “1” on the connector.
Installation 2 Connect the connector at the other end of the 50-pin SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI connector on the internal SCSI device. Pin 1 Colored Stripe Internal SCSI Device Figure 2-5. 50-pin SCSI Ribbon Cable to Internal SCSI Device 3 To connect a second internal SCSI device, plug the middle connector of the SCSI ribbon cable to the SCSI connector on the second internal SCSI device. Pin 1 Colored Stripe To Host Adapter 2nd Internal SCSI Device To 1st Internal SCSI Device Figure 2-6.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide Terminating the SCSI Bus To reduce signal reflections on the SCSI bus, the first and last physical SCSI devices (including the host adapter) must have a set of resistors called terminators either installed or enabled. If the terminators on the first and last SCSI device are not installed or enabled, the signal may echo when it reaches the end of the cable; that echo often seems like a real signal to the SCSI device.
Installation Setting SCSI IDs Each SCSI device (including the host adapter) located on the SCSI bus must be set to a unique SCSI ID. The SCSI ID serves two purposes: it uniquely defines each SCSI device’s address on the bus, and it determines the device’s priority on the bus during the Arbitration phase. The Arbitration phase determines which device owns the bus when two or more devices simultaneously request to use it.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide Connecting IDE Devices (AMM-1525M/525M Only) IDE devices (standard IDE hard disk drives and/or ATAPI CD-ROM drives) are connected to the host adapter by a 40-pin IDE ribbon cable with a 40-pin header connector. The host adapter has a single IDE connector for cabling up to two IDE devices. See Chapter 3, IDE Configuration for configuring IDE devices. The 40-pin IDE ribbon cable included in your kit has connectors at each end.
Installation Note: On IDE ribbon cables, pin 1 is usually marked with a contrasting color on one edge of the cable; a small arrow, a delta symbol (▲), or a “1” usually marks pin 1 on the IDE connector. 2-17 A AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA A AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide A AA A A Stock Number: 510660-00, Rev.

Troubleshooting ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ A SCSI Problems and Solutions The AMM-1525M/1510M host adapters have been tested for compatibility with popular SCSI devices. Most problems that might occur during installation can be traced to errors in preparing devices on the SCSI bus. The following sections should help you to solve any problems that you may encounter. If you need additional help in getting the host adapter running properly, information on contacting Adaptec Technical Support is included on page ii.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide ■ Be sure that SCSI parity is consistently enabled or disabled on all devices on the SCSI bus. See The aspi2dos.sys ASPI Manager in your Adaptec EZ-SCSI User’s Guide for information on setting SCSI parity on the host adapter. If your problem is still not resolved, continue with the next section. Operating Problems The system will not boot after initial installation of your host adapter.
Troubleshooting One of the SCSI devices on my system does not allow termination to be disabled. How can I attach it to the SCSI bus? Attach this device at the end of the SCSI bus so you do not need to disable termination on it. If this is not possible, contact the device’s manufacturer about possible work-arounds. aspi2dos.sys Error Messages This section list error messages associated with the aspi2dos.sys ASPI manager. For more information, see The aspi2dos.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide Unable to open ASPI manager! No ASPI manager is loaded. Be sure that aspi2dos.sys is listed before aspidisk.sys in the config.sys file. Make sure the correct path is specified in the config.sys file. For example, if the drivers are located in a subdirectory called c:\scsi\, then you need the following line in your config.sys file: device=c:\scsi\aspi2dos.sys Invalid DOS version. DOS must be version 3.21 and above. aspidisk.sys requires MS-DOS® or PC-DOS 3.21 or higher.
Troubleshooting IDE Problems and Solutions I connected two IDE drives to the AMM-1525M/525M and the system only sees one. The first IDE drive must be set up as the master drive and the second (if any) as the slave drive. The master drive must be assigned drive C in the CMOS setup. See your drive’s documentation. Some IDE drives may not be compatible with each other in a specific configuration.
AMM-1525M/1510M/525M User’s Guide While playing audio CDs from your CD-ROM drive, you can not hear any sound while plugged into the SPKR jack on the AMM-1525M/ 1510M/525M, but if you plug into the audio/headphone jack on the CD-ROM drive it works fine. ■ A separate audio cable provided by the CD-ROM manufacturer must be connected from the line-level output (Audio Out) connector on the CD-ROM drive to the CD Audio input connector (J3) on the host adapter.
