Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 User’s Reference

SCSI hard disk drives running under other operating systems,

see the operating system documentation.

Using Ultra160 Hard Disk Drives

■

We recommend that you connect your LVD (Ultra160 and

Ultra2) SCSI devices to SCSI Channel B and your non-LVD

SCSI devices (if any) to SCSI Channel A. This allows the LVD

SCSI devices to run at their maximum performance levels of

160 MBytes/sec or 80 MBytes/sec. Or you can connect LVD

SCSI devices to both SCSI channels. If you combine LVD and

non-LVD SCSI devices on the same SCSI channel, the data

transfer rate of the LVD SCSI devices will drop down to non-

LVD SCSI performance levels of up to 40 MBytes/sec.

■

Internal Ultra2 and Ultra160 SCSI devices come from the fac-

tory with termination disabled and cannot be changed. Proper

termination is provided by the terminator at the end of the

internal LVD SCSI cable.

Using Scanners

If you connect a scanner to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160, you must

install the scanner manufacturer’s proprietary software drivers. See

your scanner’s documentation for details.
