1 Installation and Setup The HP Ultra3 Single Channel SCSI Host Bus Adapter enables you to connect up to 15 SCSI devices—such as hard disk drives, scanners, and CD-ROM drives—to HP Servers with 32-bit or 64-bit PCI expansion slots. You can connect newer Ultra3 and Ultra2 SCSI devices to the two 68-pin Low Voltage Differential/Single-Ended (LVD/SE) connectors.
Chapter 1 Installation and Setup Although the HP Ultra3 SCSI Host Bus Adapter is a 64-bit PCI host bus adapter, it also works in a 32-bit PCI slot. When installed in a 32-bit PCI slot, the host bus adapter automatically runs in the slower 32-bit mode. This installation guide explains how to: ·...
