Introduction
In this Chapter
The Adaptec
®
AAA
-131U2 and AAA-133U2 Ultra2 SCSI RAID
cards provide powerful disk array support in systems that have a
PCI bus. The AAA-131U2 and AAA-133U2 are collectively referred to
as “AAA-131U2/133U2” in this document. Here is a summary of the
two models:
The
AAA-131U2
is a single-channel, half-size PCI RAID card,
with 50-pin standard and 68-pin Ultra2 internal connectors
and a 68-pin external Ultra2 connector.
The AAA-133U2
is a three-channel, full-size PCI RAID card
with 68-pin internal Ultra2 connectors for Channel A, B, and C;
68-pin external Ultra2 connector for Channel A; and 50-pin
internal connector for Channel A.
This
Installation and Hardware Guide
explains how to install the
AAA-131U2/133U2, connect SCSI devices to it, run the
ARRAYCONFIG
U2
Utility to create the first array for a bootable
array configuration, and then install the software driver for your
operating system.

AAA-130U2 Series Installation and Hardware Guide
Use the Adaptec CI/O Management Software
, which is included
with the AAA-131U2/133U2, to create additional arrays (CI/O is
required for array management in order to provide the proper level
of fault tolerance and event notification). Refer to the Adaptec CI/O
Management Software Users Guide for instructions on installing and
using the software.
System Requirements
The minimum system requirements for the AAA-131U2/133U2 are
PCI-based 90-MHz Pentium or equivalent motherboard with
PCI-to-PCI bridge support
An available half-length (for AAA-131U2) or full-length
(for AAA-133U2), unobstructed PCI slot that supports Bus
Mastering
A minimum of one SCSI hard disk
A standard 168-pin EDO 3.3v, 60ns or faster DIMM installed on
the adapter. (A DIMM is typically pre-installed.) See the
Adaptec Web Site at
http://www.adaptec.com/raid
for a list of
approved DIMMs and vendors
Five MBytes of free hard disk space for the AAA-131U2/133U2
software (five MBytes of free hard disk space on the Windows
system disk are also required for the temporary files created
during installation of the software)
Windows NT
4.0 Server, Windows NT 4.0 Workstation,
Novell NetWare 4.11, 4.2, or 5.0, or UnixWare 7.0.
A 3.5-inch 1.44-MByte primary (boot) floppy disk drive
64 MBytes or more of system memory.
Caution:
An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) is a key
feature for system fault tolerance. It is possible to lose data
due to power failure or power brown outs. In order to pre-
vent errors or data loss due to power failure, Adaptec
strongly recommends that a UPS be installed to support
your system.

In this Chapter
This chapter explains how to install the AAA-131U2/133U2 and
connect SCSI devices to it.
WARNING:
Before handling the AAA-131U2/133U2 and any
other electronic component, ground yourself by touching an
unpainted metal surface on your computer chassis.

Installing the Hardware
Installing DIMM Memory
Before you can use the AAA-131U2/133U2, the DIMM memory
socket must be populated with a DIMM, as shown in Figure 2-3.
In most cases, the AAA-131U2/133U2 comes pre-installed with a
DIMM. If a DIMM is not pre-installed, a 168-pin EDO 3.3v 60ns or
faster DIMM can be used. (See the Adaptec Web Site at
http://www.adaptec.com/raid
for a list of approved DIMMs
and vendors.)

AAA-130U2 Series Installation and Hardware Guide
Installing the AAA-131U2/133U2
Follow these steps to install the AAA-131U2/133U2:
Note:
If you are installing the AAA-131U2/133U2 in an
existing system, back up all data before continuing with
installation.
1
Turn
OFF
power to the computer and disconnect the power
cord.
2
Remove the cover from the computer case.
3
Locate an unused, unobstructed, PCI expansion slot and
remove the expansion slot cover. (The expansion slot must be
Rev. 2.1 or higher compliant and support bus mastering.) Save
the slot cover screw for use in Step 4.
4
Insert the AAA-131U2/133U2 in the PCI expansion slot; press
down firmly until it clicks into place, then replace the slot
cover screw. (Figure 2-4 shows the installation of an
AAA-131U2 card.)

Installing the Hardware
Connecting the LED Activity Indicator
(Optional) An LED on the front panel of most computers lights to
indicate non-SCSI hard disk activity. If you want the LED to light
whenever there is activity on the AAA-131U2/133U2 instead, you
must disconnect the LED cable from the motherboard and connect it
to the LED connector on the AAA-131U2/133U2. If the LED has a
2-pin cable, connect the cable to pins 1 and 2 of the LED connector.
(Figure 2-5 shows the connection on an AAA-133U2 card.)
Note:
If you are using non-SCSI disk drives (e.g., IDE), the
LED will no longer indicate activity on these drives when
you connect the LED cable to the AAA-131U2/133U2.

AAA-130U2 Series Installation and Hardware Guide
Setting Up SCSI Devices
Setting up SCSI devices before attaching them to the AAA-131U2/
133U2 typically involves setting SCSI IDs and termination, mount-
ing internal devices inside your computer or external array enclo-
sure, and connecting power cables to each device. Since setup can
vary from device to device, always refer to the device’s documenta-
tion for specific instructions. Below are some guidelines for setting
SCSI IDs and termination on your devices. Additional installation
hints are also provided to help you install your devices.
Note:
If you refer to the device’s documentation for installa-
tion instructions, be sure to return to this document to con-
tinue with installation of the software included in the
package.
Check the SCSI IDs
Each device attached to a SCSI channel on the AAA-131U2/133U2,
as well as the SCSI channel itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID
number from 0 to 15—no duplicate IDs are permitted on a channel.
ID numbers don’t have to be sequential, as long as the channel and
each device has a different number.
We recommend that you leave each RAID card channel set to
its default setting of SCSI ID 7.
SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the channel. The priority
of the remaining IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0, then 15 to 8.
If you have 8-bit SCSI devices, they must use SCSI IDs 0, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, or 6. (To change the SCSI ID on your hard disk and other
SCSI devices, refer to the device’s documentation.)
If you wish to use a single SCSI disk drive (instead of an array)
as your boot device, we recommend that you set the SCSI ID
for the device to zero. Most SCSI hard disks come from the fac-
tory preset to ID 0.
The IDs for internal devices are usually set with jumpers;
external devices are usually set with a switch on the back of the
device.
