Step 8. Connect the LED cable to J3 on your SCSI host adapter, if you wish to connect the LED to the SCSI LED connector.

The SCSI bus requires proper termination and no duplicate

SCSI IDs.

Step 10. Set the peripheral SCSI IDs.

Step 11. Make any configuration changes.

Step 12. Close your PC cabinet cover.

Step 13. Make all external SCSI bus connections.

Step 14. Refer to the PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide (or the guide for the software you will use) to load the driver software for your particular operating system.

2.2 Detailed Installation Procedure

This section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the LSI20160, and connecting it to your SCSI peripherals. If you are experienced in these tasks, you may prefer to use the preceding Section 2.1, “Quick Installation Procedure.”

2.2.1 Before You Start

Before starting, read through the steps defined within the detailed installation procedure. If you are not confident that you can perform the tasks as described in this section, LSI Logic suggests getting assistance.

The SCSI host adapter acts on your computer’s behalf as the host to your suite of SCSI peripherals. Each chain of SCSI peripheral devices and their host adapter work together and are referred to as a SCSI bus.

Each SCSI host adapter that you install can act as host for up to 15 peripheral devices, not including the adapter itself.
