Overview Ultra160 SCSI on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 The Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 enables you to connect up to 30 SCSI devices-such as very large arrays of high-performance HDDs, external storage subsystems, clustered configurations, Ultra160 hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives-to any - Adaptec 39160 | User Reference - Page 8
about troubleshooting, SCSI termination, and other important topics. It also explains how to use the built-in SCSISelect utility if you need to change the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 settings. Note: Read the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 Installation Guide if you need instructions on installing the SCSI Card - Adaptec 39160 | User Reference - Page 9
Each device attached to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160, as well as the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15 for each of the two SCSI buses. A SCSI ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines priority when two or more devices - Adaptec 39160 | User Reference - Page 10
devices is controlled by installing or removing a SCSI terminator. However, termination on some external SCSI devices is enabled or disabled by setting a switch on the back of the SCSI device. s By default, termination on the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 itself is set to Automatic (the preferred method - Adaptec 39160 | User Reference - Page 11
