1.3 Interface Descriptions  
This section provides a more detailed explanation about the PCI  
Interface, the SCSI Interface, and Ultra SCSI.  
1.3.1 The PCI Interface  
PCI is a high-speed standard local bus for interfacing a number of I/O  
components to the processor and memory subsystems in a high-end PC.  
The PCI functionality for the LSIU40HVD is contained within the  
LSI53C876 PCI to SCSI I/O Processor chip. The LSI53C876 chip  
connects directly to the PCI bus and generates timing protocol in  
compliance with the PCI specification.  
The PCI interface operates as a 32-bit DMA bus master. The connection  
is made through the edge connector J1 (see Figure 2.1). The signal  
definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI Local Bus Specification  
Revision 2.1 standard. The LSIU40HVD conforms to the PCI universal  
signaling environment for a 5 V or 3.3 V PCI bus.  
1.3.2 The SCSI Interface  
The SCSI functionality for the LSIU40HVD is contained within the LSI  
Logic LSI53C876. The LSI53C876 chip connects directly to the two SCSI  
buses and generates timing and protocol in compliance with the SCSI  
standard.  
The SCSI interface on the LSIU40HVD operates as a 16-bit,  
synchronous or asynchronous, differential bus, and supports Ultra SCSI  
protocols and 16-bit arbitration. Each interface is made through the  
connectors J2 and J3 (for Channel A), or J5 and J6 (for Channel B).  
Connectors J2 and J5 are 68-pin high-density, right-angle receptacles.  
Interface Descriptions  
1-3  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
                         
Connectors J3 and J6 are shielded 68-pin VHDCI right-angle receptacles  
that protrude through the back panel bracket. See Figure 2.1 for the  
location of these connectors.  
Differential SCSI active termination is provided on the LSIU40HVD.  
Termination is automatically enabled when only one of the connectors J2  
and J3 (or J5 and J6) is used, or when an 8-bit device is connected to  
the 16-bit J3 or J6 connectors. The LSIU40HVD supplies SCSI bus  
TERMPWR (termination power) through a blocking diode and a  
self-resetting 1.5 A short circuit protection device. An on-board LED  
lights when TERMPWR is off. Separate jumpers for each channel allow  
user override of termination.  
A 40 MHz oscillator is installed on the LSIU40HVD to provide the clock  
frequency to the LSI53C876 chip that is necessary to support Wide Ultra  
SCSI transfers of up to 40 Mbytes/s.  
1.3.3 Ultra SCSI  
The LSIU40HVD has full support for Ultra SCSI as well as supporting  
Fast SCSI simultaneously. Ultra SCSI is an extension of the SCSI-3  
family of standards that expands the bandwidth of the SCSI bus, allowing  
faster synchronous data transfers. Special SCSI cables are specified for  
operation with Ultra SCSI devices, and you must consider the total  
number of devices and the length of your SCSI bus when setting up your  
system. See the section on connecting your SCSI peripherals in  
Chapter 2, "Installing the LSIU40HVD," for a more detailed explanation  
of SCSI bus connections.

Installation Procedure.”  
For safe and proper installation, check the user’s manual supplied with  
your computer and perform the following steps.  
Step 1. Ground yourself before removing the host adapter board.  
Remove the LSIU40HVD from the packing and check that it is  
not damaged. An example of this board is shown in Figure 2.1.  
Step 2. Switch off and unplug the system.  
Step 3. Remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the PCI  
slots.

Caution:  
Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before han-  
dling boards. Static charges on your body can damage  
electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by the edge.  
Do not touch board components or gold connector con-  
tacts. The use of a static ground strap is recommended.  
Step 4. Locate the slots for PCI plug-in board installation.  
Refer to the user’s manual for your computer to confirm the  
location of the PCI slots. The LSIU40HVD requires a PCI slot  
which allows bus master operation. See Figure 2.2.  
Step 5. Remove the blank panel on the back of the computer aligned  
with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket screw.  
Step 6. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 (see Figure 2.1) of the  
host adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector  
is properly aligned before pressing the board into place. See  
the example shown in Figure 2.2.  
Note:  
You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter  
face the opposite way from those on other non-PCI adapter  
boards you have in your system. This is correct, and the  
board is keyed to go in only one way.  
Step 7. The bracket around the connectors J3 and J6 (see Figure 2.1)  
should fit where the blank panel was removed. Secure it with  
the bracket screw before making the internal and external SCSI  
bus connections (see Figure 2.2).  
Step 8. If you are connecting any internal SCSI devices, plug a 68-pin  
connector on the end of an internal SCSI ribbon cable into  
connector J2 or J5 (see Figure 2.1). Make certain to match pin  
one on both connectors. Chain the internal devices on this  
cable.  
Step 9. Connect your computer’s LED cable if desired. This is designed  
to drive the front panel LED found on most PC cabinets to  
indicate activity on the SCSI bus.  
Step 10. Replace the cabinet cover as described in the user’s manual for  
your computer.  
Step 11. Make all external SCSI bus connections.  
Remember: The SCSI bus requires proper termination, and no  
duplicate SCSI IDs.

Step 4. Most PC cabinets are designed with a front panel LED which  
may already be connected to an existing IDE drive. You may  
connect this LED cable to your SCSI host adapter, as shown in  
Figure 2.8. This connection causes the front panel LED to  
indicate activity on the SCSI bus.  
The LED connectors J4 and J7 (see Figure 2.1) are not keyed.  
The orientation of the LED cable does not matter as long as all  
four pins are connected.  
Figure 2.8 SCSI LED Connectors  
J7  
J4  
Some LED cables have only two wires. In this case, place the  
connector on one end or the other of J4 or J7. If the LED does not  
light during SCSI bus activity from this host adapter, you may have  
to rotate the LED cable 180° on J4 or J7.  
See Table A.5 in Appendix A for connector pinout information.

2.2.3.2  
Making External SCSI Bus Connections  
This section provides step-by-step instructions about making external  
SCSI bus connections:  
Step 1. To connect external SCSI devices to the LSIU40HVD, plug the  
68-pin VHDCI connector on one end of a shielded external high  
density cable (see Figure 2.3) into the host adapter connector  
J3 or J6 (see Figure 2.1).  
This connector is now bracketed to the back panel of your  
computer. Figure 2.9 shows how this connection is made.

Step 3. To connect more than one external SCSI device to the host  
adapter, you must chain them together with shielded external  
SCSI cables. An example of these chained connections is  
shown in Figure 2.11.  
Figure 2.11 Multiple External SCSI Devices Chained Together  
2.2.4 SCSI Bus Termination  
The devices making up the SCSI bus are connected serially (chained  
together) with SCSI cables. The first and last physical SCSI devices  
connected on the ends of the SCSI bus must have a set of resistors  
called terminators. All other SCSI devices on the bus must have their  
terminators removed or disabled.

Remember: The LSIU40HVD is also on the SCSI bus; its termination is  
automatically enabled when it is connected to the end of  
the bus.  
Differential peripheral devices are normally terminated with external  
terminators, but are sometimes set with jumpers or with a switch on the  
peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s instructions and to the  
user’s manual for your computer for information on how to identify the  
terminator setting of each device and how to change it.  
Caution:  
The auto-enable/disable sensing feature on the  
LSIU40HVD may enable termination erroneously if it is  
directly cabled to another SCSI device or host adapter  
using the same sensing method. The LSIU40HVD senses  
SCSI devices by detecting the ground signal on conductor  
50 of a 68-conductor SCSI cable. If you use an adapter to  
connect 8-bit devices externally with a 50-conductor SCSI  
cable, the ground signal is detected on conductor 34.  
The LSIU40HVD automatically covers SCSI bus termination for three  
different bus configurations, depending on your use of the connectors on  
the LSIU40HVD (see Figure 2.1). The three bus configurations are:  
only for internal SCSI connections  
only for external SCSI connections  
for both internal and external SCSI connections  
Termination on the LSIU40HVD for these three different bus  
configurations is discussed below.  
2.2.4.1  
Internal SCSI Connections  
If internal SCSI device connections to the host adapter have been made,  
you must terminate the last internal device on the SCSI bus. You must  
disable the termination on all other devices. Termination on the host  
adapter is automatically enabled in this case.  
Figure 2.12 shows an example of how termination is determined for this  
SCSI bus configuration.

2.2.4.2  
External SCSI Connections  
If external SCSI device connections to the host adapter have been made,  
you must terminate the last external device on the SCSI bus. You must  
disable the termination on all other devices. Termination on the host  
adapter is automatically enabled in this case.

2.2.4.4  
Internal SCSI Connections for both Internal Connectors  
If internal SCSI device connection to another LSIU40HVD has been  
made, or any connection to a device that uses the same sensing method  
for automatic termination as your LSIU40HVD, you must properly set the  
termination override jumpers TP2, TP3, TP5, or TP6 (see Figure A.1).  
When connecting another LSIU40HVD, or other device that uses the  
same termination sensing scheme, you must connect the jumper to both  
pins on the TP for the connector used. For example, if another  
LSIU40HVD is attached to J3, place the jumper on both stake pins of  
TP3.  
2.2.5 Setting SCSI IDs  
You must set each SCSI device and the host adapter to a separate SCSI  
ID, 0 through 15. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it  
the highest priority on the SCSI bus. If you plan to boot your computer  
from a SCSI hard disk drive on the SCSI bus, that drive should have  
SCSI ID 0, or the lowest SCSI ID on the bus. Chapter 3, “Configuring the  
LSIU40HVD,explains how to set your host adapter ID using the  
LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.  
The peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or with a  
switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s  
instructions and to the user’s manual for your computer to determine the  
ID of each device and how to change it. You must have no duplication of  
SCSI IDs on a SCSI bus.  
Step 1. Determine the SCSI ID of each device on the SCSI bus. Note  
any duplications.  
Step 2. Make any necessary changes to the SCSI IDs and record the  
IDs for future reference. Table 2.2 is provided as a place to  
keep this record.

2.3 Setting Interrupts  
Normally, you do not change the default interrupt routing for the  
LSIU40HVD, since performance is usually increased by having two  
separate interrupts. However, if your system does not support two

3.1 When to Configure the LSIU40HVD  
In most cases, changing the default configuration of the host adapter is  
not necessary. If a conflict does exist between device settings, or if a  
need exists to optimize system performance, this Configuration Utility  
provides the means to change system configurations.  
The configuration settings that may be changed are discussed in  
Table 3.1. The global settings affect the host adapter and all SCSI  
devices which are connected to it. The device settings affect only  
individual SCSI devices.

3.2 Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility  
If you have SCSI BIOS version 4.0 and later, and it includes the  
LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the default configuration of the  
SCSI host adapter(s) can be changed. If a conflict does exist between  
device settings or if optimizing system performance is necessary, then  
use this Configuration Utility.  
The version number of the SCSI BIOS appears in a banner displayed on  
your computer monitor during boot. If the Configuration Utility is  
available, the following message also appears on your monitor:  
Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility...  
This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you  
time to start the utility. If you decide to press Control C the message  
changes to:  
Please wait, invoking LSI Logic Configuration Utility...  
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the  
LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.  
NVRAM is available on this LSI Logic LSIU40HVD. Changes can be  
made and stored to NVRAM using this menu driven utility.

Important: This SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility is a powerful tool. If,  
while using it, you somehow disable all of your controllers,  
pressing Control A(or Control Eon version 4.04 or later)  
after memory initialization during reboot allows you to  
re-enable and reconfigure.  
Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be  
controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and  
scanners require that a device driver specific to that  
peripheral be loaded. The device manufacturer provides the  
device drivers.  
3.2.1 Configuration Utility Main Menu  
When you start the LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the Main  
Menu appears. This menu displays a list of up to four LSI Logic PCI to  
SCSI host adapters in your system and information about each of them.  
The LSIU40HVD appears on the menu as two LSI53C875 entries; one  
for each channel. To select an adapter, use only the arrow keys and the  
enter key. Then, you can view and/or change the current settings for that  
adapter and the SCSI devices attached to it.  
You can select an adapter only if Current Status is on. Changes are  
possible only if NVRAM is present on your adapter.

Exit this menu  
The settings in this menu are global settings that affect the selected host  
adapter and all SCSI devices attached to it. One of these choices can  
be selected by highlighting it and pressing Enter.  
SCAM Support – The LSI Logic BIOS version 4.0 and above supports  
the SCSI Plug and Play protocol called SCAM (SCSI Configured  
AutoMatically). SCAM support by default is off in versions 4.09 and later  
for the LSI53C876 device. The user may choose to turn this on only if  
the system drivers do not require SCAM off. Note that if this BIOS is  
flashed onto a board with existing settings, then these settings will not  
be changed to reflect the new BIOS defaults. Go into the Configuration  
Utility to change these settings.  
Parity – The LSI Logic PCI to SCSI host adapters always generate  
parity, but some older SCSI devices do not. Therefore, you are offered  
the option of disabling parity checking.  
3-8  
Configuring the LSIU40HVD  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
Note:  
When disabling parity checking, it is also necessary to  
disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking for  
the reselection phase is not disabled. If a device does not  
generate parity, and it disconnects, the I/O never completes  
because the reselection never completes.  
Host SCSI ID – This option refers to the host adapter’s SCSI ID, which  
is a unique number used to identify the device on the SCSI bus.  
Note:  
In general, the user should not change the host adapter ID  
from the default value of 7, as this gives it the highest  
priority on the SCSI bus. Please also note that if you have  
8-bit SCSI devices (narrow), they cannot see host IDs  
greater than 7.  
Scan Order – This option allows the user to tell the SCSI BIOS and  
device drivers to scan the SCSI bus from low to high (0 to max) SCSI  
ID, or from high to low (max to 0) SCSI ID. If there is more than one  
device on the SCSI bus, changing the scan order changes the order in  
which drive letters are assigned by the system. Drive order may be  
reassigned differently in systems supporting the BIOS Boot Specification  
(BBS).  
See Chapter 2, “SCSI BIOS,in the PCI Storage Device Management  
System SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide for additional information regarding  
BBS.  
Note:  
This scan order option may conflict with operating systems  
that automatically assign a drive order.  
Removable Media Support – This option defines the removable media  
support for a specific drive. When this option is selected, a window  
appears with three choices:  
None  
Boot Drive Only  
With Media Installed  
None indicates there is no removable media support whether the drive  
is selected in BBS as being first, or first in scan order in non-BBS.  
Boot Drive Only provides removable media support for a removable  
hard drive if it is first in the scan order.  
Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility  
3-9  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
With Media Installed provides removable media support wherever the  
drive(s) actually resides.  
One of these choices can be selected by highlighting it and pressing  
Enter.  
CHS Mapping – This option defines the cylinder head sector (CHS)  
values that will be mapped onto a disk without pre-existing partition  
information. SCSI Plug and Play Mapping is the default value.  
To support interchange with noncompatible systems, there is another  
option that can be selected by choosing CHS Mapping and then  
cursoring to Alternate CHS Mapping.  
Note:  
Neither of these options will have any effect after the disk  
has been partitioned with the FDISK command.  
To remove partitioning, two options are available:  
Reformat the disk using the Format Device option. See Section  
3.2.2.2, “Device Selections Menu.”  
Use the FDISK /MBR command at the C:\ prompt, where MBR  
represents master boot record.  
Important: Reformatting the disk or using FDISK /MBR erases all  
partitioning and data that exists. Be careful that you target  
the correct disk when using either the Format utility or the  
FDISK /MBR command.  
Note:  
After clearing the partitions and data, it is necessary to  
reboot and clear memory or the old partitioning data will be  
reused, thus nullifying the previous operation.  
Spinup Delay (seconds) – This option allows the user to stagger  
spinups for a longer period of time to balance the total current load. The  
default value is 2 seconds with choices between 1 and 10 seconds.  
This is a power management device designed to accommodate disk  
devices that may have heavy current load during power-up. If multiple  
drives are being powered up simultaneously and drawing heavy current  
loads, then this option staggers the spinups to limit start-up current.

Please review the descriptions of each option below before changing any  
values.  
Sync Rate (MBytes/sec) – This option defines the maximum data  
transfer rate the host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter  
and a SCSI device must agree to a rate they can both handle.  
Width (bits) – This option defines the maximum SCSI data width the  
host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a SCSI  
device must agree to a width they can both handle. Only chips that can  
do 16-bit data transfers have this option enabled.  
Disconnect – SCSI devices have the ability to disconnect from the  
initiator during an I/O transfer. This disconnect option frees the SCSI Bus  
to allow other I/O processes. Additionally, it tells the host adapter whether  
or not to allow a device to disconnect. Some devices run faster with  
disconnects enabled (mostly newer devices), while some run faster with  
disconnects disabled (mostly older devices).

Read Write I/O Time-out (seconds) – This option sets the amount of  
time the host adapter waits for a read, write, or seek command to  
complete before trying the I/O transfer again. Because this provides a  
safeguard by allowing the system to recover if an I/O operation fails, you  
should always set the time-out to a value greater than zero.  
Note:  
A zero value allows unlimited time for an operation to  
complete and could result in the system being hung-up.  
Scan for Device at Boot Time – Set this option to no if there is a  
device that you do not want to be available to the system. Also, on a bus  
with only a few devices attached, you can speed up boot time by  
changing this setting to no for all unused SCSI IDs.  
Scan for SCSI Logical Units (LUNs) – Set this option to noif problems  
arise with a device that responds to all LUNs whether they are occupied  
or not. For example, if a SCSI device with multiple LUNs is present on  
the system but you do not want all of those LUNs to be available to the  
system, then set this option to no. This will limit the scan to LUN 0 only.  
Queue Tags – If the device driver has the capability, this option allows  
the user to enable or disable the issuing of queue tags during I/O  
requests.  
Initial Boot – This option allows any device attached to the first adapter  
to become the boot device. It provides the users of non-BBS personal  
computers with some of the flexibility of a BBS machine.  
Format Device – If enabled, this option allows the user to low-level  
format a magnetic disk drive. Low-level formatting will completely and  
irreversibly erase all data on the drive. Formatting will default the drive to  
a 512-byte sector size even if the drive had previously been formatted to  
another sector size.  
Verify – This option allows the user to read all the sectors on a disk  
looking for errors. When selected, this option displays the following

A.1 Physical Environment  
This section discusses the physical, electrical, thermal, and safety  
characteristics associated with the LSIU40HVD. The board is compliant  
with the electromagnetic standards set by the FCC.  
A.1.1 Physical Characteristics  
The dimensions of the LSIU40HVD are 190 x 96.52 mm (7.50 x 3.80  
inches). PCI connection is made through the edge connector J1. Internal  
16-bit SCSI connection is made through the 68-pin high density  
connectors J2 or J5. External SCSI connection is made through the  
68-pin high density connectors J3 or J6. The J3 and J6 connectors  
extend through the ISA/EISA bracket, which is attached to the face of the  
connector outside of the cabinet where the LSIU40HVD is installed. The  
bracket is a standard ISA type with a cutout to accommodate the  
connectors. The J4 and J7 connectors are for connecting the computer’s  
Busy-LED. It is a 4-pin, one-row right-angle header wired in parallel with  
the onboard LED. The component height on the top and bottom of the  
board follows the PCI specification.
