Installing
the
Adapter
To
install
the
adapter,
do
the
following:
1.
Refer
to
the
option
installation
documentation
that
shipped
with
your
system
unit
to
perform
the

the
hot-plugging
of
adapters.
Prepare
your
system
to
hot
plug
this
adapter
while
system
power
is
on.
Shut
down
your
system
unit
if
your
system
does
not
support
hot-plugging.
b.
Install
the
PCI
Adapter
into
your
system
unit.
2.
To
determine
if
any
placement
restrictions
apply
to
your
adapter,
refer
to
the
PCI
Adapter
Placement
Reference.
Return
here
to
complete
the
installation
procedure.
Attention
Failure
to
install
your
PCI
adapter
into
the
correct
slot
can
cause
your
adapter
or
system
unit
to
function
incorrectly.
Connecting
Internal
SCSI
Backplanes
and
Devices
To
connect
the
internal
hard-disk-drive
backplanes
or
devices,
do
the
following:
1.
Stop
the
system
and
place
it
into
the
service
position
as
described
in
the
documentation
provided
with
your
system.
2.
Set
up
and
install
your
backplane
or
device
with
the
power
and
signal
connections
as
described
in
the
documentation
provided
with
your
system.
3.
The
internal
connectors
for
channel
0
and
channel
1
are
located
on
the
top
of
the
PCI-X
Dual
Channel
Ultra320
SCSI
RAID
Adapter.
These
connectors
are
designed
to
fit
one
way
only.
Using
the
internal
cable
provided,
connect
one
end
of
the
cable
to
the
internal
connectors
of
the
PCI-X
Dual
Channel
Ultra320
SCSI
RAID
Adapter.
Connect
the
other
end
of
the
cable
to
the
appropriate
backplane
or
device.
The
PCI-X
Dual
Channel
Ultra320
SCSI
RAID
Adapter
provides
built-in
terminators;
therefore,
terminators
are
not
required
at
the
end
of
the
cable.
Hard
disk
drives
connect
to
the
terminators
that
are
built
into
the
backplane.
Note:
Do
not
attach
any
external
subsystems
to
a
channel
if
it
is
internally
connected
to
a
backplane.
4.
Install
all
the
internal
SCSI
(including
non-RAID)
devices
by
referring
to
the
documentation
provided
with
your
device.
