4 Important Notes for the ASUS PCI-DA2100/-DA2200: • Only use Ultra2 (LVD) twisted SCSI cables and Ultra2 (LVD) SCSI terminators on the ASUS PCI-DA2200. • SCSI nodes on the same channel have unique ID number. The SCSI ID 7 is reserved for the ASUS PCI-DA2100/-DA2200 adapter and thus no drives should use ID 7. • Both ends of all SCSI cables are properly terminated. Terminate the SCSI cable by installing an external terminator on the end connector of the ASUS PCI-DA2200. The ASUS PCI-DA2100 is terminated on the end device by using jumpers or switches. The terminators embedded in ASUS PCI-DA2100/-DA2200 should be enabled. The default state of terminators embedded on ASUS PCIDA2100/-DA2200 controller are enabled and can be changed by running RAIDMAN.EXE or configured in the ASUS PCIDA2100/-DA2200 BIOS settings • The ASUS PCI-DA2200's Ultra2 Wide SCSI (LVD) is backward compatible with UltraWide SCSI devices (Single-ended). However, any Singled-ended devices connecting to an LVD bus will cause all the other LVD devices on the same bus switch back to Single-ended mode. The cable length will also be limited to Single-ended standard instead of LVD standard, if any Singleended devices connecting to an LVD SCSI bus. • Since all non-disk SCSI devices are single-ended, it is not recommended to attach any non-disk devices to ASUS PCIDA2200 PCI RAID controller if Ultra2 Wide SCSI drives (LVD) are attached. IMPORTANT: Changing any settings in "View and Edit SCSI Channels" requires a system reset to take effect. ASUS PCI-DA2100/PCI-DA2200 User's Manual 45
