Be sure to read these notes and the provided User Guide before installing the KZPEA-DB Ultra 160 SCSI 
Storage Adapter Module into your AlphaServer.

 

Note:

  Please refer to the latest version of these release notes, which can be found on the KZPEA Web 

Page.  The KZPEA web page can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate link on the HP

The KZPEA-DB Ultra 160 SCSI Storage Adapter is a very high performance PCI option module that 
connects devices attached to its two 16-bit Ultra3 160MB/s LVD/SE SCSI ports to a PCI based host 
AlphaServer system. The module supports both 32 and 64 bit PCI slots. 

Note:

  The KZPEA supports SCSI bus speeds up to Ultra3 160MB/sec when using LVD signaling 

(requiring multi-mode or LVD only terminators on the bus).  The fastest the adapter can run in SE 
mode is UltraSCSI speeds.   

This document describes any known issues or restrictions when using the KZPEA-DB Ultra 160 SCSI 
Storage Adapter within your system configuration. This document contains four sections:
