Hardware Installation

Introduction

This chapter will provide the installer with instructions for the installation of the Initio INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter. If you are not familiar with SCSI systems architecture or host adapter installation, this chapter will provide detailed installation instructions.

Preparing your SCSI device

The INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter allows for versatility in building your SCSI bus configuration. The INI-9100U host adapter can be connected to a maximum of seven SCSI devices. The INI-9100U has one internal 50-pin connector and one 50-pin high density external connector. The internal cable permits connection of multiple internal devices. SCSI devices that are connected to the internal connector are installed inside the host computer enclosure. The external connector is accessible through the D-shell connector at the back of the host system is designed to connect devices outside the host system enclosure. The cabling required for an external SCSI bus configuration is not included with this kit.

The INI-9100UW can be connected to a maximum of fifteen SCSI devices. The INI-9100UW has two internal connectors: one 68-pin high density ultra wide SCSI connector; and one 50-pin connector. They are used for attaching internally mounted devices by means of a ribbon cable. The INI-9100UW also features one 68-pin high density external connector for attaching external devices. The internal cable permits connection of multiple internal devices. SCSI devices that are connected to the internal connector are installed inside the host computer enclosure. The external connector is accessible through the D-shell connector at the back of the host system is designed to connect devices outside the host system enclosure. The cabling required for an external SCSI bus configuration is not included with this kit.

This option determines whether the host adapter initiates wide data transfer with the specified SCSI device. However, not all SCSI devices can handle wide data transfer properly and this may cause problems with your system. If problems arise from wide SCSI negotiation, disable this option.
