CHAPTER 7 SCSI Setup The PCA-6185 features an onboard SCSI interface. This chapter provides basic SCSI concepts and instructions for installing the software drivers with the SCSI driver disks CD included in your package.
Chapter 7 SCSI Setup 7.1 Introduction The PCA-6185 is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7902 single-chip PCIto-SCSI host adapter which provides a dual channel Ultra 320 multitasking interface between your computer’s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.). Ultra 320 is a new generation of SCSI technology that expands SCSI performance from 80 MBytes/sec to 320 MBytes/sec.
7.3 SCSI IDs Each device attached to the SCSI bus, as well as the SCSI controller 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 trying to use the SCSI bus at the same time. Refer o the device’s documentation to set the SCSI ID. Here are some general guidelines for SCSI IDs: • For internal SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set by configuring a jumper on the device.
7.4 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 device at the end of the each cable, or the end of the cable itself, has a terminator installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or termination must be disabled, on devices between the ends of each cable.

SCSI Bus Interface Definitions • Host Adapter SCSI ID-(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI card.
• Initiate Wide Negotiation-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI card attempts 16-bit data transfer (wide negotiation.) When set to No, the SCSI card uses 8-bit data transfer unless the SCSI device requests wide negotiation. Note: Set Initiate Wide Negotiation to NO if you are using an 8-bit SCSI device that hangs or exhibits other performance problems with 16-bit data transfer rate enabled. • Enable Disconnection-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, allows the SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus.
system bootup. If this setting disabled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect Utility by pressing after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears. • Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte. This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not required for other operating systems, such as NetWare of UNIX.
• Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks—(Default: Disabled) Determines which removable-media drives are supported by the SCSI card BIOS. Choices are as follows: • Disabled— No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives. Software drivers are required because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS. • Boot Only—Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot device is treated as a hard disk drive.
7.8 Using SCSI Disk Utilities To access the SCSI disk utilities, follow these steps: 1. Select the SCSI Disk Utilities option from the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect. SCSISelect scans the SCSI bus (to determine the devices installed) and displays a list of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID. 2. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to a specific ID and device, then press Enter. 3. A small menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk and Verify Disk Media.
