Page 7: Installation And Setup
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.
Page 8: Bus Segments On The Hp Ultra3 Scsi Host Adapter
Bus Segments on the HP Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter The HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter features technology that ensures you get the best performance from your Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices by electronically isolating the primary LVD/SE segment from the secondary SE segment on the SCSI bus.
Page 9: Installing The Hp Ultra3 Scsi Host Bus Adapter
Installing the HP Ultra3 SCSI Host Bus Adapter 1. Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the SCSI host bus adapter by touching a grounded metal object (like the exposed metal parts on the back of your HP Netserver). WARNING Turn OFF power to the HP Netserver and disconnect the power cord.
Page 10 Figure 1-4. Host Bus Adapter Installed in 64-bit Slot HP Netservers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots. Refer to your HP Netserver manual to locate the PCI slots. NOTE Be careful when inserting the HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter in a PCI slot.

Page 13: Connecting Scsi Devices
Connecting SCSI Devices You can connect up to 15 SCSI devices to the HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter. Before connecting devices, be sure to review Setting Up SCSI Devices on page 5. Connecting the SCSI Host Adapter to the Common Tray Connect internal Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the internal LVD/SE connector on the HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter.
Page 14 3. Plug the internal Ultra2 or Ultra3 SCSI devices to the other cable connectors, starting with the connector at the terminated end of the cable. Terminated LVD SCSI Twisted-Pair Cable Terminator Figure 1-6. Common Tray Cable Connection NOTE Internal Ultra2 and Ultra3 SCSI devices come from the factory with termination disabled and cannot be changed.

Hot-Plug Cage Cable Connections Connecting Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI Devices Connect internal Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI devices to the 68-pin internal SE Wide SCSI connector. To do this, use a flat 68-pin Wide SCSI cable. Follow these steps to connect the devices: 1.
Page 16 68-pin flat SCSI cable Figure 1-8. Connecting Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI Devices 2. Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI device. 3. If you have other Ultra/Fast Wide SCSI devices, attach them to the connectors between the two ends of the cable. Be sure these other devices are unterminated.
Page 17 50-pin SE Narrow SCSI cable Figure 1-9. Connecting Ultra/Fast Narrow Devices 2. Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI device. 3. If you have other Ultra/Fast Narrow SCSI devices, attach them to the connectors between the two ends of the cable. Be sure these other devices are unterminated.
Page 18 NOTE We recommend that you connect only Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the external SCSI connector. If you also attach older Ultra SCSI devices, the data transfer speed of the Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices will drop to the speed of the older devices. (See Bus Segments on the HP Ultra3 SCSI Host Adapter on page 2.) Follow these steps to connect the external devices: 1.

Loading the Driver at Server Bootup To automatically load the adpt160m.ham at server bootup, the startup.ncf file (usually located in your server’s startup directory) must contain a load command line that specifies the location of the driver and any appropriate command line options (see “Using the Load Command Line Options”...
Page 62: Adpt160M.ham Command Line Options
adpt160m.ham Command Line Options Option Values Default Description auto_disable_tagq= on, off Enables/disables auto disable tagged queuing algorithm. dev_enable= 0-FFFF FFFF Allows you to enable the driver's registration of SCSI devices on a per target basis. By default, all targets are scanned. A bit value of 0 causes the target not to register under the operating system.
Page 63 Option Values Default Description multlun_targets= 0-FFFF FFFF A bit mask to enable LUNs on selected targets. By default, LUNs on all targets are enabled. This bit mask is entered in hex (see “Bit Mask Options” on page 58). slot= Defines a physical slot number 0-xxxx for the host adapter.
Page 64: Bit Mask Options
Bit Mask Options Use the example below as an aid for calculating Bit Mask option hex values. Each SCSI device is enabled by a 1 in its corresponding bit position. The table that follows the figure, lists the binary-to-hex conversions. Using this example, if you want to enable scanning for LUNs 0, 2, and 6 on all targets, then use the command line option of lun_enable=0045.

Check the host bus adapter BIOS messages to verify that all your installed SCSI devices are listed. If some or all of your installed SCSI devices do not appear at this time, your SCSI cables may be loose, or the SCSI device setup may not be complete. If so, go back and correct any problem before proceeding.
Page 80: Changing The Boot Disk
Changing the Boot Disk If you are changing the boot device from a non-SCSI hard disk to a SCSI hard disk attached to an HP Ultra3 SCSI host bus adapter, you must reinstall SCO OpenServer. If you are already booting from a SCSI hard disk attached to an HP PCI SCSI host bus adapter, and wish to boot from the same SCSI hard disk attached to an HP Ultra3 host bus adapter, you may elect to either reinstall SCO OpenServer with the new driver, or update SCO OpenServer with the new driver.
