INSTALLATION GUIDE  
ADAPTEC SCSI CARD 29320A  
 
Installing the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A  
1 Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling your  
SCSI card by touching a grounded metal object (like the  
exposed metal parts on the back of your computer).  
Warning: Turn OFF power to the computer and disconnect  
the power cord.  
2 After you turn off your computer and unplug the power cord,  
remove the cover from the computer.  
3 Locate an unused 64-bit PCI/ PCI-X expansion slot and remove  
the expansion slot cover. If the computer does not have a 64-bit  
slot, you can install the card in a 32-bit PCI slot. The Adaptec  
SCSI Card 29320A supports both 5V and 3.3V 64-bit slots. (The  
expansion slot must be compliant with PCI Rev. 2.1 or PCI-X  
Rev. 1.0 and must support Bus Mastering.) Save the slot cover  
screw for use in Step 4.

Computers may have vertical or horizontal expansion slots.  
Refer to your computer manual to locate the PCI/ PCI-X slots. If  
your computer is a tower model, lay it on its side to allow for  
easier installation of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A.  
Warning: Be careful when inserting the Adaptec SCSI Card  
29320A in a PCI slot. Some 32-bit slots will not  
accommodate it, and the card may break if you force it into  
the slot.  
4 Insert the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A in the 64-bit (or 32-bit)  
PCI or PCI-X expansion slot; press down firmly until the card  
clicks into place, then replace the slot cover screw. When  
installed properly, the card should appear level with the  
expansion slot, as shown below.  
Setting Up SCSI Devices  
There are several things you may need to do to your SCSI devices  
before you connect them to the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A:  
Check the SCSI IDs  
Set the termination  
Connect the power cables  
Since setup can vary from device to device, always refer to the  
devices documentation for specific instructions.

Following are some guidelines for setting SCSI IDs and termination  
on your devices.  
Check the SCSI IDs  
The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A and each device you connect to it  
must have a unique SCSI ID number ranging from 0 to 15 on each  
channel. No two devices on the same SCSI channel can have the  
same SCSI ID.  
The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A is preset to ID 7 for each channel  
and should not be changed. If you boot from a SCSI hard disk,  
make sure the hard disk SCSI ID is set to 0. (Most SCSI hard disks  
are preset to SCSI ID 0 at the factory.) The SCSI IDs for internal  
devices are usually set with jumpers; SCSI IDs for external devices  
are usually set with a switch on the back of the device.  
Terminate the Ends  
To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the device at the  
end of each cable, or the end of the cable itself, must have a  
terminator installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or  
termination must be disabled, on devices between the ends of each  
cable.  
Note: When connecting Ultra320/ 160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices,  
the SCSI bus must be terminated either on the end of the cable  
(with a permanent terminator) or with a separate terminating  
connector. Ultra SCSI and earlier single-ended devices can  
terminate the bus directly from the device. If you use an Ultra  
SCSI terminator on an LVD Ultra320/ 160 and Ultra2 SCSI  
bus, the SCSI devices will not operate properly. For this  
reason be sure that you have the necessary Ultra320/ 160 or  
Ultra2 cable and terminator before installing the Ultra320/ 160  
SCSI devices.  
Connecting SCSI Devices  
You can connect a total of 15 LVD and/ or 15 SE SCSI devices to the  
Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. Before connecting devices, be sure to  
review Setting Up SCSI Devices on page 3.

Connecting Internal Ultra320/160 and Ultra2 Devices  
A special 68-pin internal LVD cable is needed to connect internal  
Ultra320/ 160 or Ultra2 SCSI devices. If your cables are not marked,  
you can identify most LVD cables as having twisted pairs of the flat  
ribbon cable between the device connectors. Some cables are  
laminated so that they lay flat. Internal LVD cables usually have a  
terminator built into the end of the cable.  
The Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A has one internal 68-pin LVD  
connector and two internal SE connectors to which you can connect  
internal SCSI devices, as shown in the figure on page 1.  
Note: Adaptec recommends that you keep your Ultra320/ 160  
and Ultra2 SCSI devices separate from your Ultra SCSI  
devices. This allows the Ultra320/ 160 and Ultra2 SCSI  
devices to transfer data at their maximum speed.  
Follow these steps to connect your internal Ultra320/ 160 and  
Ultra2 devices:  
1 Locate a 68-pin internal LVD SCSI cable, which may have either  
twisted wires or flat wires, shown as follows.

2 Plug the nonterminated end of the cable(s) to the internal LVD  
connector.  
3 Plug the internal Ultra320/ 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the  
other cable connectors, starting with the connector at the  
terminated end of the cable.

Note: Internal Ultra320/ 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices come  
from the factory with termination disabled and cannot be  
changed. Proper termination is provided by the terminator  
at the end of the LVD SCSI cable.  
4 Connect a power cable from your computers internal power  
supply to each internal SCSI device.  
6
 
Connecting Wide SCSI Devices  
Connect internal Wide SCSI devices to the 68-pin internal SE Wide  
SCSI connector. To do this, use a 68-pin Wide SCSI cable like the  
one shown in Step 1 below. Follow these steps to connect the  
devices:  
1 Locate a 68-pin internal Wide SCSI cable.  
2 Plug one end of the cable to the Wide SCSI connector on the  
Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A.  
3 Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/ Fast Wide  
SCSI device.  
4 If you have other Ultra/ Fast Wide SCSI devices, attach them to  
the connectors between the two ends of the cable. Be sure these  
other devices are unterminated.  
5 Connect a power cable from your computers internal power  
supply to each internal device.  
Connecting Internal Ultra/Fast Narrow Devices  
Connect internal Ultra/ Fast Narrow SCSI devices that have  
standard 50-pin connectors to the 50-pin internal SE Narrow SCSI  
connector. To do this, use a 50-pin internal Ultra Narrow SCSI  
cable. Follow these steps to connect the devices:  
1 Locate a 50-pin internal Ultra Narrow SCSI cable.  
7
 
2 Plug one end of the cable to the 50-pin internal SE Narrow SCSI  
connector on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A.  
3 Plug the other end of the cable to a terminated Ultra/ Fast  
Narrow SCSI device.  
4 If you have other Ultra/ Fast Narrow SCSI devices, attach them  
to the connectors between the two ends of the cable. Be sure  
these other devices are unterminated.  
5 Connect a power cable from your computers internal power  
supply to each internal device.  
Connecting External SCSI Devices  
You can connect external Ultra320/ 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to  
the 68-pin external LVD SCSI connector. Each external device will  
require a 68-pin LVD external LVD SCSI cable.  
Note: We recommend that you do not combine older SCSI  
devices with the newer Ultra320/ 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices  
on the same SCSI channel of the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A.  
Follow these steps to connect your external SCSI devices:  
1 Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to one of the external  
Ultra320/ 160 connectors on the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A.

2 Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the  
back of an external device. If you are installing only one  
external device, terminate the device and skip to Step 4.  
SCSI terminator  
3 Connect the other external SCSI devices by linking each device  
to the previous one, as shown below. Terminate only the device  
at the end of the chain.  
4 Connect power cables to all external device(s) and to the  
computer.

More Information About Termination  
The last SCSI device on the end of each SCSI bus cable must be  
terminated, and termination must be disabled for all other devices  
in the middle of the cables. Ultra320/ 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices  
are automatically unterminated, but Ultra SCSI and Fast/ Wide  
SCSI devices do have termination that you must check. For more  
information, refer to the documentation for each SCSI device.  
If you are using external Ultra2 or Ultra320/ 160 devices, be sure to  
use an LVD terminator to terminate the last device in the chain. If  
you use a single-ended, active terminator (sometimes called an  
Ultra terminator) the SCSI devices will not operate properly.  
Troubleshooting  
If you have any problems while installing the Adaptec SCSI Card  
29320A, check the following items first:  
Are all SCSI devices powered on?  
Are all SCSI cables and power cables properly connected?  
Does each device on each SCSI bus have a unique SCSI ID?  
Does the total SCSI cable length exceed the maximum allowable  
length?  
Is the SCSI bus properly terminated?  
If you are still unable to resolve a problem, contact the system  
manufacturer for help.  
Adaptec SCSI Card Driver Software  
Note: To use the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A, driver software  
must be installed for your operating system. Installation of  
the driver software varies depending on how and where you  
purchased the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A.  
10  
 
Preloaded Adaptec Drivers  
If the Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A was included as part of a  
computer system you purchased, the system already has the  
appropriate Adaptec driver preinstalled by the computer  
manufacturer. No further action is necessary to install the driver.  
Embedded Adaptec Drivers  
Some operating systems have embedded driver support for the  
Adaptec SCSI Card 29320A. To determine if the card is supported  
by the operating system you are using, read the operating system  
manual or contact the operating system vendor for information.
