Introduction
The Initio INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter
The INI-9100U and INI-9100UW are high-performance PCI bus master host
adapters which provide the interface between the SCSI bus and the PCI local
bus. In this User’s Manual we use the term INI-9100U/9100UW to refer to
both host adapter models. The Initio INI-9100U/9100UW supports 32-bit data
transfers across the high bandwidth PCI bus at speeds up to 133 MBytes per
second. The advanced Integrated Scatter/Gather Engine (ISGE)Ô reduces the
command overhead time enhancing the overall system response, thus providing
exceptional performance for the Initio INI-9100U/9100UW PCI-SCSI host
adapter.
An on-board utility program is designed into the host adapter to simplify SCSI
bus set up. The SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility program enables simple integration
of the INI-9100U/9100UW into most platforms and with many operating
systems. The SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility will enhance the installation procedure
of the host adapters and allow for complete self-integration in those systems
that implement the current plug and play standards. The INI-9100U/9100UW
complies with plug and play applications on systems using the PCI bus
standard.
The INI-9100U host adapter will support asynchronous SCSI bus transfers to a
maximum rate of 5 MBytes per second and synchronous ultra SCSI bus
transfers to a rate of 20 MBytes per second. The INI-9100UW host adapter will
support asynchronous SCSI bus transfers to a maximum rate of 10 MBytes per
second and synchronous ultra wide SCSI bus transfers to a rate of 40 MBytes
per second, as well as ultra SCSI transfers to a rate of 20 MBytes per second.
Full support of UltraSCSI defined by the SCSI-3 specification,
disconnect/reconnect and command queuing provides maximum bus utilization
in multiple target implementations.

Getting Started
Host adapter and the SCSI bus
The INI-9100U/9100UW is a bus mastering host adapter which works with the
host computer to provide a means of control for the SCSI bus. By daisy
chaining peripheral devices together, up to seven devices can be linked with the
INI-9100U and up to fifteen devices can be linked with the INI-9100UW on the
SCSI bus. The host adapter can be placed in any physical position on the bus.
SCSI devices communicate on the bus using bus arbitration. Bus arbitration
gives each device an opportunity to use the bus based on the device priority on
the bus. This is determined by the device ID and not the device’s physical
location. The INI-9100U/9100UW’s ID is set at the factory with ID 7. This ID
positions the host adapter in an ideal position for single adapter environment
on the SCSI bus.
SCSI bus preparation
Each peripheral device that will be attached to the SCSI bus is either an
internal or external device. Each peripheral will have a specific device ID,
commonly referred to as a SCSI ID, which is set at the factory. Please refer to
your peripheral documentation to determine switch or jumper settings for SCSI
ID’s. A key point to remember is, no two devices can have the same ID. The
device ID uniquely defines the device to the SCSI bus.
When assigning a SCSI ID it is recommended to have the host adapter ID set at
ID 7, this is the factory default setting for the INI-9100U/9100UW. The exact
physical location of the device on the bus has no relationship to the SCSI ID of
the device. If you plan to boot your system from a SCSI disk drive, set that boot
drive at ID 0 for best operation with most operating systems. A second drive, if
used, can be set to ID 1 with additional devices using sequentially higher ID
numbers.

SCSI bus termination
The SCSI bus structure has a length limitation as well as a requirement for
termination at each end of the SCSI cable. The cable is designed to connect in a
daisy chain fashion with only one peripheral being connected to another. No
branching is permitted in the SCSI bus. The first and last physical SCSI device
on the SCSI bus must be terminated (see figure 2-1).
figure 2-1 Examples of SCSI bus termination
The INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter’s auto-termination is software controlled
by the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility. This feature allows the operator to switch on
or off the auto-termination. If auto-termination is switched off, the operator
can manually adjust termination for the host adapter without the need to
remove the cover on the host system each time a change is made in the SCSI
bus configuration. There are three ways to manually control terminating the
INI-9100U on the SCSI bus (see table 2-1) and there are six ways to terminate
the INI-9100UW on the SCSI bus (see table 2-2).

Installation basics
The INI-9100U/9100UW PCI to SCSI Bus Master host adapter is installed into
a computer system with a PCI bus. The host adapter supports 32-bit data
transfers across the PCI bus at speeds up to 133 MBytes per second. The Initio
host adapter has no switches or jumpers to set, increasing the ease of
installation.
The SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility provides simple integration of the INI-
9100U/9100UW into most platforms and operating systems. The INI-
9100U/9100UW on board BIOS will allow for complete integration in those
systems that implement Plug and Play. With the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility you
are able to conveniently turn on or off the SCSI auto-termination as well as
manually control the SCSI terminators without opening the system unit to

default during power-up. Recall that first and last physical SCSI
device on the SCSI bus must be terminated.
·
Refer to the specific peripheral manufacturers users manual for
proper SCSI cable termination.
Configuring the host adapter
Host adapter configuration is performed automatically by the host adapter
BIOS during power-up. The factory settings are designed for best
operation. However, the host adapter can be configured to meet your
special operating environment, using the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility
described below.
The INI 9100U/9100UW host adapter includes an on-board configuration
utility called the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility. The utility is accessible
during the system boot routine, after the Initio banner is displayed, by
pressing <Ctrl>+<I> on the host system keyboard. The SmartSCSIÔ Setup
Utility is resident in the host adapter’s Read Only Memory (ROM). The
purpose of the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility is to customize SCSI/BIOS-
related parameters and perform low level SCSI disk formatting when
required. Once the configuration is established the information is saved in
on-board non-volatile memory which can be modified when necessary in

To increase the reliability of the cabling being used with the INI-
9100U/9100UW, it is recommended that the following guidelines be observed:
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
·
Synchronous SCSI - up to 6 meters or 20 ft
Fast SCSI - up to 3 meters or 10 ft
Ultra SCSI - 4 devices, up to 3 meters or 10 ft
UltraWide SCSI - 4 devices, up to 3 meters or 10 ft
Ultra SCSI - 7 devices, up to 1.2 meters or 4 ft
UltraWide SCSI - 8 devices, up to 1.2 meters or 4 ft
Use high quality twisted pair cable.
Impedance of the cable should be between 90-110 ohms.
Use high quality shielded connectors.
Installation in ten easy steps
The following steps will guide you through the installation of the INI-
9100U/9100UW host adapter into the host system. The host adapters are
designed to be inserted into a PCI bus compliant host computer system. If you
are an experienced installer and have installed this product according to the
“Quick Installation Guide” then skip to Chapter 4.
1. Power down the host computer and all peripherals.
Remove the cover from the host system. You may need to refer to the
system manual for cover removal. If necessary, identify the PCI
sockets inside the host system with the aid of the system
documentation.

2. Use static electricity discharge precautions.
Remove possible static discharge potential from any objects that the
host adapter may come in contact with before installation. This can be
accomplished by touching a bare metal chassis rail after you have
turned off the power. This precaution will prevent possible damage to
the host adapter before removing the INI-9100U/9100UW from its
protective packaging.
3. Inserting the host adapter
Orient the host adapter for installation so that the external connector is
facing the back of the System unit and align the card with the PCI
connector on the system unit (see figure 3-3).
Holding the adapter by the mounting bracket and the card edge, match
up the card edge connector with the PCI host computer socket and
insert the card into the socket. Once the connector is in the PCI
expansion slot socket tighten the mounting bracket screw to secure the
card in place. The host adapter requires no switches or jumpers to be
set when used in PCI plug and play systems.

figure 3-3 Inserting the INI-9100U/9100UW into a PCI slot
4. Installation of internal SCSI cables
The INI-9100U has one 50-pin internal SCSI bus connector and the
INI-9100UW has two internal connectors: one 50-pin flat ribbon SCSI
connector, and one 68-pin high density ultra wide SCSI connector;
both internal connectors may be used in tandem or singularly,
depending on your bus configuration. Installation of internal SCSI
cables must be performed before replacing the system covers. The
internal ribbon cable is made with multiple connectors attached and
used to daisy chain the host adapter with two or more devices. It is
important that the cable installed correctly for proper operation. The
cable has a colored stripe running the length of the cable, on the edge
distinguishing the pin one side of the connector. These identifying
markings must match when mated on the host adapter board.
When attaching ultra wide SCSI internal devices, use the 68-pin high
density wide SCSI internal cable connector. This connector, identified
by J4 on the host adapter (refer to figure 3-2), is keyed for proper
orientation and connection. Insert on end of the internal wide ultra
SCSI cable into the INI-9100UW host adapter and the other
connectors in a similar fashion into your ultra wide SCSI connectors
as described in the appropriate manufacturers instructions.
When attaching ultra SCSI devices, use the 50-pin ultra SCSI cable
connector, identified by J1 on the host adapter (refer to figure 3-4).
This connector has a triangle marking that identifies pin-one. Align
the internal cable into the host adapter and the other cable connectors

5. Drive activity LED
A drive activity LED is designed into the INI-9100U/9100UW host
adapter to indicate when a data transfer is being made. Connection to
the LED is optional and cabling is not included with this kit. The INI-
9100U/9100UW host adapter has a four pin connector located at J3
(refer to figure 3-1) to accommodate an LED cable.
6. Multiple Initiators
Under some circumstances multiple initiators can be used on a single
SCSI bus. The bus is configured to have more than one host adapter
inserted into at least two distinctly different computer systems sharing
peripheral devices. In theses circumstances, it is possible to have one
of the two computer systems turned off. Under theses conditions, the
INI-9100U/9100UW has a jumper JP1, that can be enabled (closed) to
set the active on-board termination on all the time, regardless of
whether power is applied or not. The host adapter is shipped without
the jumper installed and need not be changed in most cases.

7. Installation of external SCSI cables
Installation of external SCSI cables can be performed after the cover
has been closed. The cable is limited in length to a total of six meters
including any internal cabling. The external cable can be daisy
chained to include up to seven devices with the INI-9100U/9100UW in
combination with internal devices. The external cable is designed to be
inserted only one way requiring termination at the end peripheral
device on the bus (see figure 3-5).
figure 3-5 External cable connection
8. Host computer configuration
Most computer manufacturers with a PCI bus automatically configure
the add on-card or host adapter I/O Port address, IRQ Channel and
BIOS address. If this is not the case with your computer system you
will need manually configure your system.
There are two means of configuring the PCI bus from the host
computer system:
1. Setting jumpers on the host system motherboard.
2. Setting CMOS BIOS incorporated into the host system.
3-8
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
You will need to refer to the host computer system documentation to
complete PCI bus activation and setup.
If the host system will be using a SCSI device to provide system boot
capability, then the system CMOS drive type settings may need to be
changed. Under some conditions the system will expect the boot disk
to be an IDE drive. This must be changed in order to boot from a
SCSI device.
9. System startup
Visually inspect the configuration you have installed to verify that all
cables have been inserted correctly. Close the cover on host computer.
Hardware installation for the INI-9100U/9100UW is now complete.
The newly installed SCSI bus is now ready to power up. Switch on
peripheral and host computer system power. The system monitor
should display the following information, but may vary, based on the
system BIOS manufacturer.
·
·
The normal Power-On Self Test and memory test procedure.
The host adapter sign on message including a list of attached
SCSI devices.
The list should match the peripheral devices attached to the bus. In
most cases the host computer system is now configured and ready for
use.
Some situations will require that a low-level format be performed
using the host adapter SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility to initialize a SCSI
disk drive and lay the foundation for a bootable SCSI drive.
10. SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility
The SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility simplifies the SCSI installation
process by eliminating the need for opening the system to change
system jumpers and switch settings. All necessary host adapter
functions are accessible through the utility, simplifying customization
for your system needs. Initio’s SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility is divided
into five segments identified by: Scan Bus; Device Setup; Adapter
Setup; BIOS Setup; and Disk Utility. All of these program functions

are accessible during Boot procedures by typing <CTRL><I>. The
SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility is covered in greater detail in the chapter
titled Host Adapter Setup.
Hard disk drive preparation
A new SCSI disk drive is normally low-level formatted at the factory to
simplify installation. The drive can be used as it comes from the factory once it
is partitioned for system operation.
In cases where a drive has been used with other host adapters the drive should
have a low-level format performed. This procedure will eliminate any problems
that could arise from incompatibility with different adapters that could affect
operation or reliability. A low-level format will destroy any data left on the
drive at the time of formatting. If you wish to save the data before the low-level
format is performed, a backup disk of the files will need to be made.
Low-level format
A low-level format will erase any data that is stored on the target disk. Before
attempting to perform a low-level format be sure the data on the target disk has
been backed up. A low-level format can be achieved via the SmartSCSIÔ Setup
Utility for the INI-9100U/9100UW.
The low level format sets the media to a state which is easily recognized by the
host adapter on the SCSI bus. Once this format is completed, you will need to
partition the drive. Refer to your operating system documentation for further
information on partitioning drives.

Host Adapter Setup
Configuring the host adapter
The INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter is a plug and play host adapter which
eliminates the need to toggle switches for the host adapter to function in PCI
plug and play systems. Once the host adapter has been installed into the host
computer system it is not necessary to remove the host computer’s cover if
changes are made to your system configuration. The SCSI bus protocols that
your system requires are set by SmartSCSIÔ. The SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility is
a program that enables easy access to SCSI bus and host adapter setup and
provides the tools to fine tune your host adapter to meet your SCSI bus
requirements.
When to use the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility
The Initio host adapter is pre-configured to function in most SCSI bus
environments while providing the highest performance levels for storage and
other peripheral devices. This utility enables added versatility in configuration
of the host adapter by giving the operator the flexibility to customize settings
and perform low level formats of disk media if required.
Running the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility
To start the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility, verify that all devices attached to the
SCSI bus are powered up when the host computer system is turned on. Once the
power switch has been turned on and the system begins its on screen power up
sequence, the Initio banner, shown below, will be displayed for a brief period.
During this time the Initio SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility is accessible by pressing
the “Control” key and the “I” key at the same time. The following message
when displayed on your system monitor indicates that the host system is ready
to accept your keyboard input.

Host adapter interrupt level must be set to IRQ 10 for proper installation of
the Initio driver.
Please refer to your system documentation to set the interrupt levels and your
peripheral documentation for help in setting SCSI IDs.
Installing the Initio driver in a new UnixWare system
Drivers for the Initio host adapter may be found on the INITIO INI-
9100U/9100UW DRIVER DISK 2. In most cases you will load the drivers
during a new installation of UnixWare from CD-ROM. The driver is loaded
during the early stages of the installation procedure. The UnixWare
installation program will prompt you for the required parameters as the
installation procedure progresses. It is highly recommended that you have a
copy of the SCO UnixWare Installation Handbook and SCO UnixWare System
Owner Handbook for reference.

type (recall that UnixWare is case sensitive):
·
·
cp /stand/unix /stand/unix.org , press <ENTER>
pkgadd -d diskette1 , press <ENTER>
2. Select i910u ihv hba from the list of available host drivers, press
<ENTER>.
3. If the INI-9100U/9100UW is intended to be the bootable host adapter, the
next step to updating the driver will require a revision to the I910u file.
These instructions will guide you through changing the current software
settings for UnixWare to establish the INI-9100U/9100UW as the host
adapter for your boot device:
·
At the system command prompt, type
·
·
cd /etc/conf/sdevice.d
Use “vi” or another editor to modify the file I910u by adding a
line
·
·
locate the line $version2
edit the file by adding the line $static immediately
following $version2.
·
Rebuild the UnixWare kernel by completing the following steps at the
command prompt :
·
·
·
·
·
/etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B <ENTER>
cp /etc/conf/cf.d/unix /stand/unix <ENTER>
cd / <ENTER>
shutdown -g0 ( 0 is Zero ) <ENTER>
Y <ENTER>

4. If the INI-9100U/9100UW is NOT intended to be the bootable host
adapter, these instructions will guide you through changing the current
software settings for UnixWare to establish the INI-9100U/9100UW as a
non-bootable host adapter for your device:
·
At the system command prompt, type
·
·
·
·
/etc/conf/bin/idbuild -M i910u <ENTER>
cd / <ENTER>
shutdown -g0 ( 0 is Zero ) <ENTER>
Y <ENTER>
5. Exit the UnixWare program and reboot your system to initialize the new
device driver to control INI-9100U/9100UW.
Using multiple Host Adapters
UnixWare is capable of supporting up to eight SCSI busses. If you choose to
use multiple host adapters in your system, verify that each host adapter shared
interrupt level is set to IRQ10. Please refer to your system documentation to
set the interrupt levels.
Space for each INI-9100U/9100UW host adapter in the system is configured
and allocated by a separate line in the file /ETC/CONF/SDEVICE.D/I910U.
1. Verify that Y is selected in the second field at the line starting at I910u in
the file /ETC/CONF/SDEVICE.D/I910U for each INI-9100U/9100UW in
the system.
UnixWare will automatically rebuild the kernel when an additional INI-
9100U/9100UW is detected.

A: Troubleshooting
In the following section you will find commonly asked questions and answers
to problems encountered during the installation of the INI-9100U/9100UW.
Question: Why isn’t the INI-9100U/9100UW banner “!!! Press <CRTL><I>
for SmartSCSI Setup Utility !!!” displayed when I power up the host system?
Answer: Verify that all cabling to the host adapter is installed
correctly, refer to the hardware installation section of this manual.
Question: On boot-up the message “SCSI BIOS Installed” is displayed, but my
system hangs.
Answer: Verify that the CMOS interrupt structure is set to INTA and
the CMOS IRQ level matches the jumper settings on the motherboard.
Refer to your PC user manual.
Question: On boot-up, not all the peripherals are scanned and recognized.
Answer: Verify that each of the SCSI devices on the bus has its own
distinct SCSI ID number and all peripherals are receiving power.
Refer to your peripheral manual for information regarding changing
SCSI ID’s.
Verify the SCSI Termination is set correctly. Make sure the last
peripheral on the SCSI bus has termination. See the peripheral manual
for proper termination information.
After the above steps are executed, if you are still not recognizing all
attached peripherals, configure the host adapter to operate in an
Asynchronous Transfer mode by changing its setting under the SCSI
Devices Setup section of the SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility. This feature
is discussed thoroughly in the chapter entitled Host Adapter Setup.
Question: On boot-up, the message “Missing Operating System” is displayed.
The boot drive is greater than 1 gigabyte.
Answer: Verify the “DOS SPACE> 1 GB” is enabled in the INI-
9100U/9100UW SmartSCSIÔ Setup Utility.

Question: Under SCO UnixWare, the system displays a panic message or
crashes during bootup:
Answer: Reboot the system and verify that the INI-9100U/9100UW is
using IRQ10. Please Refer to your system documentation to set the
interrupt levels and your peripheral documentation for help in setting
SCSI ID’s.
In order to boot from the old UnixWare kernel, reboot the system and
execute the following steps:
·
·
Begin an interactive boot session by pressing the
<SPACEBAR> at the BOOTING UNIXWARE prompt.

B: DOS Space > 1GB
The default disk head mapping for Initio SCSI host adapter is 64 heads and 32
sectors. Under this configuration, the MS-DOS limit is 1024 cylinders per
drive. This translates to a maximum accessible capacity of 1 GBytes per drive.
By changing the head mapping to 255 heads and 63 sectors, the "DOS Space >
1GB" option can support disk capacities up to 8 GBytes under MS-DOS.
Warning: If you have already installed the operating system on your hard
drives, changing the head mapping will corrupt your files and cause other
unexpected problems. Before changing any "DOS Space > 1GB" option setting,
please back up your disk drives. Then you should run the FDISK utility to
delete all the partitions on your selected disk drive. At this point you can switch
the setting, reinstall the operating system, and restore your backed up files.
All device drivers for the INI-9100U/9100UW Host Adapter will support
different head mappings based on the setting of "DOS Space > 1GB" option.
MS-DOS, OS/2 & Windows NT
Under MS-DOS, OS/2 & Windows NT, we recommend you enable "DOS
Space > 1GB" option if your SCSI hard disk has more than 1 GByte capacity.
NetWare 386
NetWare does not have a 1 GByte barrier. Therefore, the "DOS Space > 1GB"
option is not required to be enabled; however, you must verify the boot partition
is located below 19100UW4 cylinders. If the size of your boot partition is
greater than 1 GByte or the location of the boot partition is beyond 1 GByte,
you should enable the "DOS Space > 1GB" option.
SCO UNIX
SCO UNIX does not have a 1 GByte barrier. Therefore, the "DOS Space >
1GB" option is not required to be enabled; however, you must make sure the
root file system is located below 19100UW4 cylinders in order to perform the
kernel boot routines. If the size of the root file system is greater than 1 GByte or
the location of root file system is beyond 1 GByte, you should enable the "DOS
Space > 1GB" option.

SCO UNIX can not support different head mappings for each disk drive under
the same host adapter. The head mapping will be based on the setting
represented by target ID 0.
Drives with Multiple Operating Systems.
It is mandatory that the same head mapping be used across multiple operating
systems on one drive. However you can use different head mappings on
different drives with the exception of SCO UNIX. It is recommended that you
enable "DOS Space > 1GB" option if the capacity of your SCSI hard disk has
more than 1 GByte.

Definitions of Terms
An I/O process that is presently in execution (not queued).
active I/O
process
This term indicates an 8-bit construct
byte:
An initial connection or reconnection. A connection can only
occur between one initiator and one target.
connection
The I/O process that is presently connected on the SCSI bus.
current I/O
process
The action that occurs when an SCSI device releases control
of the SCSI bus, allowing it to go to the BUS FREE phase
disconnect
A device which connects between a host system and the SCSI
bus. The device usually performs the lower layers of the SCSI
protocol and normally operates in the initiator role. This
function may be integrated into the host system.
host adapter
A SCSI device that requests an I/O process to be performed by
another SCSI device (a target).
initiator
An I/O process consists of one initial connection and zero or
more reconnections, all pertaining to a single command or a
I/O process
group of linked commands.
More specifically, the
connection(s) pertain to a nexus in which zero or more
command descriptor blocks are transferred. An I/O process
begins with the establishment of a nexus. An I/O process
normally ends with the BUS FREE phase following successful
transfer of a COMMAND COMPLETE or a RELEASE
RECOVERY message. An I/O process also ends with the
BUS FREE phase following an ABORT, ABORT TAG, BUS
DEVICE RESET, CLEAR QUEUE message, or a hard
