Chapter 4. Installing the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI
Adapter Hardware (AIX)
This chapter provides instructions for installing the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter and
connecting your SCSI devices. Before you begin, be sure you have read “Handling Static-Sensitive
Devices” on page vii. Also refer to the PCI Adapter Placement Reference guide.
Attention: Do not remove the PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter from its antistatic package at
this time.
Installing the Adapter
To install the adapter, do the following:
1. Refer to the option installation documentation that shipped with your system unit to perform the
following:
a. Some systems support the hot-plugging of adapters. Prepare your system to hot plug this adapter
while system power is on. Shut down your system unit if your system does not support
hot-plugging.
b. Install the PCI Adapter into your system unit.
2. To determine if any placement restrictions apply to your adapter, refer to the PCI Adapter Placement
Reference . Return here to complete the installation procedure.
Attention
Failure to install your PCI adapter into the correct slot can cause your adapter or system unit to
function incorrectly.
Connecting External or Internal Devices
To connect external or internal devices, use the following procedures.
Note: Attachment cables are usually shipped with the attaching subsystem or device.
Connecting External Devices
Note: Depending on your system unit, you may not need to shut down the system before connecting
external devices. For more information, refer to the documentation provided with your system unit.
To connect external devices, do the following:
1. If the cable from your subsystem or device has a VHDCI connector on the end going to the adapter,
connect the cable directly to the external port Channel 0 (connector J4) or Channel 1 (connector J5).
Use the fastening screws on the cable connector to securely attach the connector to the adapter.
If the cable from your subsystem or device has a high-density D-shell connector on the end going to
the adapter, attach it to a VHDCI to D-shell converter cable before attaching it to the adapter. Then
connect the cable to external port Channel 0 (connector J4) or Channel 1 (connector J5). Use the
fastening screws on the cable connector to securely attach the connector to the adapter.
2. If necessary, connect additional cables to additional SCSI devices.
3. When all devices are connected, ensure that a SCSI terminator is attached to the last device if
needed.
4. If you have turned off your system unit, turn it back on.
