2. Setup 2.1 Before Connection Before installing your this card and SCSI devices, you should understand the basic concept of the SCSI, which is described in this section. This information will help you set up your this card and SCSI devices so that they function properly. SCSI ID numbers All SCSI devices attached to this card, as well as this card itself, must have a unique SCSI ID between 0 to 15.

ISCSI cables Since the cables that connect the SCSI devices are important components in ensuring stable operation, be sure to use Fujitsu products. Note When connecting two or more SCSI devices to this card, ensure reliable operation by limiting the combined total length of SCSI cables to a maximum...
2.2 Connection Method WARNING When installing or removing this card, turn off the power of each device (SERVER and peripheral equipment), and remove the cord from the outlet. Otherwise, it causes an electrical shock. Notes ・ Connect the power cords to SERVER, peripheral equipment, and SCSI device after the installation of this card and connection to the SCSI device are completed.
Page 36
Connection of SCSI device 1) Up to 15 SCSI devices can be connected to this card. 2) Turn off the power to the SCSI devices to be connected and remove the power cord from the outlet. 3) Set up the SCSI IDs and the terminators of SCSI devices. (Validate the terminator setting of SCSI device that is connected at the end of SCSI cable.
3. Configuration 3.1 SERVER Configuration If SERVER does not recognize this card after this card has been installed, run the SERVER BIOS setup utility and check the PCI configuration parameters. Usually, you can do this by pressing specified key combinations when your SERVER is booting.
3.2 Activating and terminating the SCSISelect Utility Activation of the SCSISelect utility 1) While the following prompt is displayed at the SERVER bootup, press the [Ctrl] + [A] key to activate the SCSISelect utility. Adaptec AHA-2944 Ultra W BIOS v*.*** (c)1996 Adaptec, Inc.All Rights Reserved.

2) When the setting value in the SCSISelect utility is changed, a message "Save Change Made?" is displayed. To save it, move the cursor to [Yes]. To abandon it, move the cursor to [No]. Then, press the [Enter] key. Finally, press [Esc] key. (If the setting value is not changed, a message "Save Change Made?"...
3.3 This Card Configuration (SCSISelect Utility) This card contains the SCSISelect utility in this card's memory. This utility can change this card settings without removing the SERVER cover or physically setting the board. SCSISelect utility contains a SCSI disk utilities that can perform low-level formatting and check the disk medium in a SCSI hard disk drive.

2Boot Device Configuration Setting the boot device enables you to specify the SCSI device used to boot your SERVER. ・ Boot Target ID This option allows you to specify which SCSI device you want to boot your SERVER from by using the SCSI ID. The default setting is SCSI ID 「0」. The SCSI ID selected here must correspond to the ID configured for the Boot Device.
Page 43
・ Maximum Sync Transfer Rate Using this option enables you to set the maximum synchronous transfer rate that this card supports. The default setting is 「40.0 MB/s」. This card supports a sync transfer rate up to 40.0 MB/s that is the maximum value of the "Ultra Wide SCSI".
Page 44
・ Send Start Unit Command Note Be sure to set to 「yes」 when using this card. Enabling this option allows you to determine whether a Start Unit command should be sent to the SCSI device when the system is booted. The default setting is 「yes」.

・ BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM This option allows you to determine whether Host Adapter BIOS supports booting from a CD-ROM drive. The default setting is 「Disabled」. ・ BIOS Support for Int13 Extensions This option allows you to determine whether Host Adapter BIOS supports a disk with more than 1024 cylinders.
3.4 Configuring Two or More SCSI Cards You can use two or more SCSI channels by installing additional SCSI cards in the SERVER. Installation and setup are performed in the same way as when one SCSI card is installed. Some SERVER restrict the number of PCI bus slots available. When you use two or more SCSI cards for a SERVER, note the points below.
4. Troubleshooting 4.1 Checkpoints Most problems concerning the SCSI card occur during SCSI device connection or setup. If you have a problem while the card is in use, check these items first: ・ Are the SCSI cables and power cord properly connected? ・...

− 03h - Medium error The disk medium failed. If a failure occurs with a removable-media drive, use another disk medium. If a hard disk drive fails, it is assumed that the disk itself is physically damaged. Use SCSISelect utility to check and format the medium. −...
4.2 BIOS Error Messages If Host Adapter BIOS is enabled, but cannot be initialized, the system displays an error message after the message "BIOS Installation Failure." Examples and meanings of these error messages are given below: Device connected, but not ready. This message is displayed if one of the channels does not receive a response when this card requests data from an installed SCSI device.
4.3 Before Contacting Us When a problem cannot be resolved by following these checkpoints, contact the sales outlet where you purchased the product. To ensure quick support, make a list of the following items: − Detailed information about the failure and your actions immediately before the failure −...
