KZPEA Adapter Configuration for Shared Tape Installation

The following steps describe the procedure to disable on-board termination, and also to change one of the

adapter’s SCSI ID to 6.

Refer to the system and KZPEA User’s Guides for proper system shutdown, power off and ESD

protections.

1) Disconnect any attached cables and remove the on board termination jumper for the bus being

configured as a shared bus: J3 for Channel 2/B and J5 for Channel 1/A. Refer to the KZPEA User’s Guide

for location of these termination jumpers.

2) Power-up both AlphaServer systems, and at the console prompts perform the following:

f) Type "show config" to display the system configuration information.

g) Determine the name of the KZPEA adapter: e.g. pkc0, pkd0, etc.

h) Type "init" to reinitialize the system prior to using the “run bios” command.

i) Type "run bios pkx0" where x is the assigned letter of the board's channel A.

j) Press CTRL-A when prompted to run the KZPEA on-board configuration utility.
