I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore
Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals
3 Hardware setup.
When a SCSI based backup peripheral is going to be used a SCSI host adapter is required in the
system. Depending on the style of the 70 Series station, you may have to install one.
ATAPI peripherals may require some internal IDE channel modifications.
3.1 I/A 70 Series style “A” stations.
The I/A 70 Series style “A” stations are IDE/Atapi based. Unless you are using an Atapi backup device
(like an ATAPI CD-R(W), Iomega ZIP drive or Fujitsu MO drive) or are satisfied with the parallel port
performance, an additional SCSI host adapter is required. This installation is a one time event and
requires the station to be taken off-line and powered down. At this moment we recommend the
use of the low cost AVA-2904 host adapter from Adaptec. This model is fully supported by the
Backup and Restore CD. (No additional drivers are required). To install the card, open the system
cabinet and find a free PCI slot. Insert the SCSI interface in this slot and close the cabinet. No
changes are required to the system software for the 70 Series station.
3.2 I/A 70 Series style “B” stations.
The I/A 70 Series Style “B” stations have a SCSI interface built in. This style comes with two possible
external SCSI connections: It can be either a 50-pin high-density connector (Ultra SCSI) or a 68-pin
connector (Ultra Wide SCSI). Get the matching cable between your system and the backup
peripheral of your choice. All SCSI interfaces in style “B” stations are fully supported by the I/A 70
Series Backup and Restore CD 2.0. No changes are required to the system software or hardware for
the 70 Series station.
3.3 I/A 70 Series style “C” stations.
The I/A 70 Series Style “C” station (the Server 70 platform) also has a SCSI interface built in. This
station does however not provide an external SCSI connector. The 70 Series style “C” provides RAID
options in addition to the standard SCSI internal disk drive.
To accommodate the backup SCSI devices you have three options:
• If you have one internal disk drive or a RAID 1/0 solution: Install the recommended AVA-2904
from Adaptec. Requires a 50/50-pin SCSI cable.
• Your system can be configured with a RAID 5 drive, (which is external to the Server). The RAID
unit is connected using an additional Adaptec ASC-29160 SCSI host adapter. Advised is to install
an additional SCSI interface (actually the third one) next to the ASC-29160 (for instance the
Adaptec AVA-2904).
• Use an internal backup device connected to the internal 50-pin ribbon SCSI cable.
All standard SCSI interfaces in style “C” stations are fully supported by the I/A 70 Series Backup and
Restore CD version 2.0. When the additional SCSI interface needs to be installed, the station has to
be taken off-line and powered down. No changes are required to the system software for the 70
Series station.
