Page 16: What Is Scsi
SCSI IDs Each device attached to an Adaptec SCSI Card, as well as the Adaptec SCSI Card itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15 for each of the two SCSI buses. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the same time. -
Page 17: Using Scsi Devices
Using SCSI Devices Using SCSI Disk Drives If you connect a SCSI disk drive to an Adaptec SCSI card that was previously connected to a different SCSI card, it is recommended that you low-level format the drive before you can use it. -
Page 18: Using Scsi Devices
Combining SCSI and Non-SCSI Devices You can install an Adaptec SCSI Card in a system that already has a non-SCSI card, such as an ATA, SATA, or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller. However, you cannot cross-connect the disk drives and other devices: SCSI devices must be connected to an Adaptec SCSI card, ATA devices must be connected to the ATA controller, and so on. -
Page 19: Connecting The Led Connector
Pin 1 Overriding SCSI Termination Settings You use SCSISelect to control the termination of the SCSI channel on an Adaptec SCSI Card. The default termination setting for a channel is Automatic. This setting allows the SCSI card to adjust SCSI termination automatically, depending on which connectors have SCSI devices attached to them. -
Page 20: Connecting Scsi Devices
Making changes in SCSISelect will have no effect on termination when these jumpers are installed. You might want to manually terminate the SCSI card if an Adaptec SCSI Card is connected to one or more external SCSI devices that are also connected to a SCSI card in another system. -
Page 21: Maximum Cable Lengths
The following figure shows SCSI devices connected to the external connector. Terminated Device Maximum Cable Lengths The total length of cabling (internal and external) on the SCSI bus cannot exceed the maximum lengths listed in the following table. The third column lists the maximum number of SCSI devices you can connect to the SCSI card. -
