Note You should have all of your system and peripheral device manuals available for refirence. There may be special system or device dependent requirements that are not noted here. Slot Divider Since this adapter card is a “single-high” card, it requires a single-high slot (Eurocard standard slot size 3U). A double-high (6U) slot can be convert[...]

2. Shut Down the System and SwZtch Off the Computer 1. Before installing the card, ensure that the operating system is shut down. Consult your computer system manuals for proper shutdown procedures to avoid corruption or loss of data. 2. Ensure that power to the host computer is off. Unplug the power cord from the power source. WARNING Unless other[...]

3. Check the Card’s Hardware Configuration Hardware settings for the SCSI/parallel adapter apply to the SCSI port only. There are no hardware settings for the parallel port. Figure 1-3 shows the applicable hardware. To check the card’s hardware, perform the following: 1. Set the desired parity-checking capability. 2. Set the SCSI bus address. 3[...]

Set the Desired Parity-Checking CapabUity AU devices on a SCSI bus must have the same parity-checking capability. If any device on the SCSI bus does not generate parity, then all devices on the bus, including the adapter, must not check parity. (Although parity-checking is selectable, the adapter always generates parity.) Note If there is a SCSI de[...]

Set the SCSI Bus Address There may be up to eight devices (which includes the SCSI adapter) connected to a SCSI bus. Each device must have a unique address, from 0 to 7. The bus address determines the device’s priority on the bus. Seven is the highest priority and zero is the lowest priority. Switches 3,2, and 1 are used to set the adapter’s ad[...]

Verify that Resistor Packs are Properly Installed A SCSI bus has two ends between which SCSL devices are attached. Each end of a SCSI bus must be terminated with a resiitor network, or “terminator”. The adapter card contains two resistor packs mounted in sockets on the card. These resistor packs act as a terminator for one end of the SCSI bus. [...]

4. Install and Connect the Card The HP-PB cardcage accommodates two sixes of cards: single-high (Eurocard standard 3U) or double-high (6U). The SCSI/parallel adapter is a single-high (3U) card and requires a single-high slot. HP computers are normally shipped with single-high slots. However, this section contains information on converting a double-[...]

m Authorized or recommended slots for the SCSI/parallel adapter. - The SCSI/parallel adapter is a standard HP-PB card. Typically, it can be installed in any stamiard HP-PB single-high (3U) slot. However, some systems may contain special slots that do not support this card, or may contain particular slots that are reserved for thii card. - The SCSI/[...]

n Computer hardware limitations for l/O cards, if any. The HP-UX and MPE XL operating systems support the use of this card. However, the particular computer model into which this card is installed may require special configuration rules due to power supply or slot limitations. This may affect the number or combination of interface cards authorized [...]

Prepare the Slot For Use To prepare a slot, you must first remove the metal slot cover. Then, if a plastic frl!er card is installed in the slot, remove it. (Retain slot covers and filler cards- they should be installed when slots are not in use.) If a slot divider is not installed, you must install one. Figure l-7 shows the applicable hardware. Rem[...]

Removing Filler Cards A plastic “filIer” card is normally installed when a slot is not in use. In some systems, the filler card helps to channel airflow through the cardcage. In these systems, you must remove the filler card before you can install the SCSI/parallel adapter. Installing a Slot Divider A slot divider is an assembly that converts a[...]

With both hands, grasp the card by its edges or faceplate. Do not touch electronic components or electrical traces. 3. Insert the card into the slot. [...]

Attach the Card Cables Figure l-10 shows a typical installation with both the SCSI port and parallel port cables attached (the use of the parallel port is not supported for MPE XL systems). CAUTION Do not connect serial cables (for example, RS-232 cables) to the parallel port. Connecting serial cables can damage the SCSI/parallel adapter. Note SCSI[...]

Connect Your Peripheral Device(s) You can connect SCSI devices (single-ended devices only) to the SCSI port, and a parallel communication device to the parallel port. (The parallel port is not supported for use on MPE XL systems.) The following steps are described below: 1. Connect your single-ended SCSI devices. 2. Terminate the SCSI bus. 3. Conne[...]

Set switches or jumpers on your device(s) as appropriate. Be sure each SCSI device has a unique SCSI address. For optimum noise immunity, any device that supplies termination power should be enabled to do so. If at least two devices supply termination power, Locate them at each end of the SCSI bus. Connect the device end of the SCSI port cable (50-[...]

CAUTION Only the two ends of a SCSI bus should be terminated. Excessive or improper termination may overload the termination power circuitry on the SCSI port. This may result in blowing the TERMPWR fuse on the SCSI/parallel adapter, or may damage transceivers on any attached device (including the adapter). Refer to device manuals for proper device [...]
