Installation and Setup

The HP Ultra3 Single Channel SCSI Host Bus Adapter enables you to connect
up to 15 SCSI devices—such as hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM
drives—to HP Netservers with 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slots. You can
connect newer Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the two 68-pin Low Voltage
Differential/Single-Ended (LVD/SE) connectors. You can also connect legacy
SCSI devices to the 68-pin and 50-pin internal Single-Ended (SE) connectors.

Although the HP Ultra3 SCSI Host Bus Adapter is a 64-bit PCI host bus
adapter, it also works in a 32-bit PCI slot. When installed in a 32-bit PCI slot,
the host bus adapter automatically runs in the slower 32-bit mode. This
installation guide explains how to:
• Install the HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter
• Set up SCSI devices
• Connect SCSI devices
