Detailed Installation Procedure 2-3
2.2 Detailed Installation Procedure
This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing your
LSI21003 and connecting it to your SCSI peripherals. If you are
experienced in these tasks, you may prefer to use Section 2.1, “Quick
Installation Procedure.” If you are not confident that you can perform the
tasks as described here, LSI Logic suggests getting assistance.
2.2.1 Before You Start
Before you start, look through the task list below to get an overall idea
of the steps to perform.
• Open your PC cabinet and select an open PCI slot
• Insert the host adapter
• Connect your internal and external SCSI peripherals
• Terminate the SCSI bus
• Set the peripheral SCSI IDs
• Make any configuration changes
• Replace your PC cabinet cover
• Install the software
The SCSI host adapter acts on your computer’s behalf as the host to
your suite of SCSI peripherals. Each chain of SCSI peripheral devices
and their host adapter work together, and they are referred to as a SCSI
bus.
Each SCSI host adapter that you install can act as host for up to
15 peripheral devices (depending on the SCSI bus speed), not including
the adapter itself.
