KZPSA PCI-to-SCSI Storage Adapter
2–2 EK–KZPSA–UG. B01
These defaults were chosen for optimum performance of the adapter. If they are
acceptable for your configuration, proceed to Installation in Chapter 3. Each of
these attributes, except for termination present, can be changed by using the
configuration utility described in Chapter 6.
2.2 PCI Bus Configuration
PCI Adapters are automatically configured by the power-up software. The
adapter addresses and interrupts are set without jumpers.
2.3 SCSI Bus Configuration
The KZPSA allows direct connection of both 8-bit (narrow) and 16-bit (wide)
differential SCSI bus devices. You can connect up to 15 devices to your adapter.
The total bus length should not exceed 25 meters for a differential SCSI bus.
For the KZPSA to support single-ended devices, you must use a differential-to-
single-ended SCSI bus converter such as the Digital DWZZA bus converter.
With a DWZZA bus converter (16-bit differential to 8-bit single-ended), you can
connect up to 7 single-ended SCSI bus devices in addition to 8 wide differential
SCSI bus devices to the KZPSA adapter. With a DWZZB bus converter (16-bit
differential to 16-bit single-ended), you may connect up to 15 single-ended de-
vices. The total bus length should not exceed 3 meters for a fast single-ended bus
or 6 meters for a slow single-ended bus.
The SCSI ID for the KZPSA adapter is defaulted to 7. If multiple adapters (see
your host system manual for possibilities) are used on the same SCSI bus, the
recommended SCSI IDs of the adapters should be 7, 6, 5, etc. Specific applica-
tions, such as Available Server Environment in Appendix B, may make alterna-
tive recommendations.
Only one device can use the SCSI bus at a time. When two or more devices try to
use the bus at the same time, the priority arbitration scheme determines which
device goes first and which devices must wait. The SCSI ID priority from highest
to lowest is as follows: SCSI ID 7-6-5-4-3-2-1-0-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8.
