1.1 General Description
The LSI Logic Symbios® SYM22902 PCI to Ultra2 SCSI Dual Channel
Low Profile PCI Host Adapter provides two SCSI-3, Ultra2 SCSI
interfaces to PCI computer systems that require BIOS support on the
add-in SCSI adapter. Installing this adapter in your PCI system allows
connection of SCSI devices over a SCSI bus.
The SYM22902 host adapter provides two independent Ultra2 SCSI
channels. The external channel on the SYM22902 board supports Low
Voltage Differential (LVD) and Single-Ended (SE) SCSI, while the internal
channel supports LVD SCSI only. The SYM22902 is a SCSI solution for
an 1U and 2U size server. This board can support legacy fast SCSI
devices, Ultra SCSI devices, and the newest Ultra2 SCSI devices on the
appropriate connections.
The Symbios Storage Device Management System (SDMS™) software
operates the board. The design of the board does not prevent other SCSI
software from being used with it. BIOS support for this host adapter is
incorporated on the board in a 128K Flash device.
This guide and the LSI Logic Symbios PCI Storage Device Management
System SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide contain product information and
Symbios SYM22902 PCI to Ultra2 SCSI Dual Channel Low Profile PCI Host Adapter
1-1
installation instructions to help you gain the full benefits of your
SYM22902 PCI to Ultra2 SCSI Dual Channel Low Profile PCI Host
Adapter.
1.2 Features
This section provides an overview of the PCI Interface, the SCSI
Interface, and Board Characteristics for the SYM22902 host adapter
board.
1.2.1 PCI Interface
The PCI interface operates as a 32-bit or 64-bit DMA bus master, where
the connection is made through the J1 edge connector. The PCI portion
of the SYM53C896 Dual Channel Ultra2 controller is powered from the
host system PCI + 3.3 V power rail. The implementation is PCI 2.2
compliant.
The PCI interface includes these features:
•
Supports 64-bit or 32-bit (33 MHz) DMA bus master
•
Bursts 2 to 128 Dwords across PCI bus
•
Prefetches up to 8 Dwords of SCRIPTS™ instructions
•
Supports PCI Write and Invalidate, Read Line, and Read Multiple
commands
•
Provides zero wait-state bus master data bursts
•
Includes PCI Universal 3.3 V/5 V bus support
1.2.2 SCSI Interface
The SCSI interface is made through connector J2 for Channel A and J4
for Channel B. Connector J2 is a 68-pin VHDCI right-angle receptacle
that protrudes through the Low Profile PCI or Standard ISA/EISA bracket.
Connector J4 is a 68-pin high density receptacle, either right-angle
nonlatching or vertical with/without latches, for internal SCSI connection.
See Figure 2.1 for the location of these connectors.
1-2
Using the SYM22902 Low Profile PCI Host Adapter
The SCSI interface includes these features:
•
Provides two independent wide Ultra2 SCSI channels
•
Provides two connectors:
68-pin VHDCI for the external Channel A (LVD/SE)
68-pin high density for the internal Channel B (LVD)
•
Supports SE and LVD signaling: 16-bit SE or LVD interfaces
•
Supports LVD/SE termination for external Channel A and LVD
termination for internal Channel B
•
Supports fast, Ultra, and Ultra2 data transfer capability: Ultra2 SCSI
LVD synchronous transfers are as fast as 80 Mbytes/s
•
Supports three termination control options:
–
Keep termination always on
–
Use a manual shunt on each channel to disable termination
–
Provide software control using GPIO3 and/or manual shunt to
enable or disable the terminators
•
Supplies SCSI termination power (TERMPWR) source with
autoresetting circuit breaker
•
Includes SCSI Plug and Play
•
Provides flash EEPROM for BIOS storage for each channel
•
Includes 8 Kbytes internal RAM for SCRIPTS instruction storage for
each channel
•
Provides a SCSI activity LED connector (J3) for both channels
1.2.3 Board Characteristics
This board provides a low cost Low Profile PCI (LPPCI) solution for
computer manufacturers that require BIOS support for their add-in SCSI
host adapters. The board characteristics are:
•
PCI board dimensions
Approximately 6.60 x 2.53 inches
•
Universal 64-bit PCI card edge connector
•
Low Profile PCI and Standard ISA/EISA bracket
Features
1-3
1.2.4 SCSI Activity LED Interface
The SYM22902 LED interface is a four-wire arrangement that allows the
user to connect an LED harness to the board. The GPIO0_FETCH line
for each channel is driven low to complete the circuit when a harness
with an LED is attached. The connector on the SYM22902 is J3 for both
channels. See Table A.5 for the signal name and pin numbers for this
LED interface.
1.2.5 Wide Ultra2 SCSI
The SYM22902 fully supports Wide Ultra2 SCSI. This interface is an
extension of the SCSI-3 family of standards that expands the bandwidth
of the SCSI bus to allow faster synchronous data transfers, up to 80
Mbytes/s. Wide Ultra2 SCSI provides a doubling of the data rate over the
Ultra2 SCSI interface, while it increases cable lengths and allows a larger
number of devices on the cable than Ultra2 SCSI interfaces.
Special SCSI cables are specified for operation with Wide Ultra and
Ultra2 SCSI devices. You must consider the total number of devices and
the length of your SCSI bus when setting up your system. See Chapter 2,
“Installing the SYM22902 Host Adapter” for a more detailed explanation
of SCSI bus connections.
The cable included in the SYM22902 host adapter kit is matched for
fast/Ultra/Ultra2 SE or LVD operation. This cable also has built-in LVD
termination since most Ultra2 hard disk drives are not made with onboard LVD termination. Table 1.1 provides an overview of standard SCSI
cable specifications.

1. This parameter may be exceeded in point-to-point and engineered
applications.
2. LVD was not defined in the original SCSI standards for this speed. If
all devices on the bus support LVD, then 12-meter operation is
possible at this speed. However, if any device on the bus is SE only,
then the entire bus switches to SE mode, and the distances in the
SE column apply.
3. SE and high power differential are not defined at Ultra2 speeds.
1.3 Benefits of LVD Link™
The SYM53C896 supports LVD for SCSI, a signaling technology that
increases the reliability of SCSI data transfers over longer distances than
are supported by SE SCSI. The low current output of LVD allows the I/O
transceivers to be integrated directly onto the chip. LVD provides the
reliability of HVD SCSI without the added cost of external differential
transceivers. Ultra2 SCSI with LVD allows a longer SCSI cable and more
devices on the bus, with the same cables defined in the SCSI-3 Parallel
Interface standard for Fast-20 (Ultra SCSI). LVD provides a long-term
migration path to even faster SCSI transfer rates without compromising
signal integrity, cable length, or connectivity.
For backward compatibility to existing SE devices, the SYM53C896
features universal LVD Link transceivers that can support LVD SCSI, SE,
and HVD modes. The LVD Link technology also supports HVD signaling
in legacy systems, when external transceivers are connected to the
SYM53C896. This allows the SYM53C896 to be used in both legacy and
Ultra2 SCSI applications.
Benefits of LVD Link™
1-5
1.4 TolerANT® Technology
The SYM53C896 features TolerANT technology, which includes active
negation on the SCSI drivers and input signal filtering on the SCSI
receivers. Active negation causes the SCSI Request, Acknowledge,
Data, and Parity signals to be actively driven HIGH rather than passively
pulled up by terminators. Active negation is enabled by setting bit 7 in
the SCSI Test Three (STEST3) register. Refer to the LSI Logic Symbios
SYM53C896 PCI to Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI Multifunction Controller
Technical Manual for specific register information.
TolerANT receiver technology improves data integrity in unreliable
cabling environments, where other devices would be subject to data
corruption. TolerANT receivers filter the SCSI bus signals to eliminate
unwanted transitions, without the long signal delay associated with
RC-type input filters. This improved driver and receiver technology helps
eliminate double clocking of data, the single biggest reliability issue with
SCSI operations. TolerANT input signal filtering is a built-in feature of the
SYM53C896 and all LSI Logic fast SCSI, Ultra SCSI, and Ultra2 SCSI
devices.
The benefits of TolerANT technology include increased immunity to noise
when the signal is going HIGH, better performance due to balanced duty
cycles, and improved fast SCSI transfer rates. In addition, TolerANT SCSI
devices do not cause glitches on the SCSI bus at power-up or
power-down, so other devices on the bus are also protected from data
corruption. When it is used with the LVD Link transceivers, TolerANT
technology provides excellent signal quality and data reliability in real
world cabling environments. TolerANT technology is compatible with both
the Alternative One and Alternative Two termination schemes proposed
by the American National Standards Institute.

adapter board and includes these topics:
•
Section 2.1, “Quick Installation Procedure,” page 2-1
•
Section 2.2, “Detailed Installation Procedure,” page 2-3
•
Section 2.3, “Completing the Installation,” page 2-23
2.1 Quick Installation Procedure
This section provides an overview of the installation procedure. If you are
an experienced computer user with prior host adapter installation and
SCSI bus setup experience, this section may sufficiently describe the
procedure for you. If you prefer a more detailed guidance for installing
the SYM22902 host adapter, proceed to Section 2.2, “Detailed
Installation Procedure.”
For safe and proper installation, check the user’s manual supplied with
your computer and perform the following steps.
Step 1. Ground yourself before handling the host adapter board.
Step 2. Remove the SYM22902 from its packing and examine it for any
damage.
An example of this host adapter board is shown in Figure 2.1.
A more detailed drawing is located in Figure A.1.

electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by the edge;
do not touch board components or gold connector contacts.
The use of a static ground strap is recommended.
Step 5. Locate the PCI slots on your computer.
A 32-bit slot may be used but full performance requires a 64bit slot. Refer to the user’s manual supplied with your computer
to confirm the location of the PCI slots. The SYM22902
requires a PCI slot that allows bus master operation. See
Figure 2.2.
Step 6. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use.
Save the bracket screw for securing the installed board.
Step 7. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into
the PCI slot.
Make sure the edge connector is properly aligned before
pressing the board into place. The bracket around connector J2
should fit where the blank bracket panel was removed.
Note:
You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter
face the opposite way from non-PCI adapter boards you
have in your system. This orientation is correct. The board
is keyed and will only go in one way.
Step 8. Secure the bracket with the bracket screw before making the
internal and external SCSI bus connections.
Step 9. If you are connecting any internal SCSI devices, plug a 68-pin
connector on the end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into
connector J4 (see Figure 2.1).
Be sure you match pin 1 on both connectors.
Step 10. Chain the internal SCSI devices on this cable.
Step 11. Connect the LED cable if desired.
This is designed to drive an off-board system LED and
indicates activity on the SCSI bus. The off-board LED will
operate at the same time as the on-board SCSI Activity LED.
Step 12. Replace the cabinet cover as described in the user’s manual for
your computer.
Step 13. Make all external SCSI bus connections.
2-2

Installing the SYM22902 Host Adapter
Step 2. Plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the internal SCSI
ribbon cable into the SCSI connector on the internal SCSI
device.
Pin 1 must match on all connections. The lead in cable adjacent
to pin 1 is colored. An example of this connection appears in
Figure 2.5.
Figure 2.5
Internal SCSI Ribbon Cable to Internal SCSI Device

Step 3. Plug in any additional internal SCSI devices, as required. See
the example in Figure 2.6.
An example of multiple internal SCSI devices chained together
is shown in Figure 2.7. Make sure to match pin 1 on all
connections.

Most PC cabinets are designed with a front panel LED to
indicate bus activity. It may already be connected to an existing
IDE controller. If you want, you can connect the LED to the
SCSI LED connector.
Detailed Installation Procedure
2-11
Step 4. Connect the LED cable to J3 on your SCSI host adapter, as
shown in Figure 2.8.
The Busy LED connector J3 is not keyed. The J3 connector is
a 4-pin one row right-angle header for both Channel A and
Channel B. Some LED cables have only two wires. In this case,
place the connector on one end of J3. If the LED does not light
during SCSI bus activity, you may have to rotate the LED cable
180° on J3 or move it to the other end of the jack.
After the correct connection is established, the front panel LED
will indicate activity on the SCSI bus. There is also an LED on
the SYM22902 host adapter board that indicates activity on the
SCSI bus.
See Table A.5 for connector pin out information.

2.2.4.2 Making External SCSI Bus Connections
This section provides step-by-step instructions for making external SCSI
bus connections.
Step 1. Plug the 68-pin VHDCI connector on one end of a shielded
external high density cable (see Figure 2.3) into the host
adapter connector J2.
This connector is exposed on the back panel of your computer.
Figure 2.9 shows where this connection is made.

Step 2. Plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the shielded
external SCSI cable into the SCSI connector on your external
SCSI device.
An example of this connection is shown in Figure 2.10.

Step 3. Chain any additional SCSI devices together with shielded
external SCSI cables.
See the example in Figure 2.11.
Figure 2.11 Multiple External SCSI Devices Chained Together
Detailed Installation Procedure
2-15
2.2.5 SCSI Bus Termination
The devices making up the SCSI bus are connected serially (chained
together) with SCSI cables. The first and last physical SCSI devices
connected on the ends of the SCSI bus must have their terminators
active. All other SCSI devices on the bus must have their terminators
removed or disabled.
Termination control has three build options to allow three modes of
termination. The three options are:
•
Termination is always on.
•
Termination can be disabled by placing a manual shunt over both
posts on each channel. When the shunt is off, the terminator is
active. When the shunt is on both posts, the terminator for that
channel is disabled.
•
Termination can be enabled or disabled for a specific channel using
software control with GPIO3 and/or the manual shunt method.
LVD peripheral devices are normally terminated with external
terminators, but are sometimes set with jumpers or with a switch on the
peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s instructions and to the
user’s manual for your computer for information on how to identify the
terminator setting of each device and how to change it.
2-16
Installing the SYM22902 Host Adapter
The SYM22902 automatically controls SCSI bus termination for two
different bus configurations, depending on the use of the SCSI channel
(see Figure 2.1). The two bus configurations are:
•
Termination on
•
Termination off
You can disable termination in two ways:
•
Use BIOS software control, where the BIOS termination option is
changed from Auto to Off.
•
Manually place Channel A shunt DIS_A and Channel B shunt DIS_B
on both posts of their respective jumpers.
2.2.5.1 Internal SCSI Terminations
If you are making internal SCSI device connections on your host adapter,
you must terminate the last internal device on the SCSI bus. You must
disable the termination on all other devices. Termination on your host
adapter is automatically enabled in this case.
Figure 2.12 shows an example of how termination is determined for this
SCSI bus configuration.
Detailed Installation Procedure
2-17

2.2.5.2 External SCSI Terminations
If you are making external SCSI device connections on your host
adapter, you must terminate the last external device on the SCSI bus.

Installing the SYM22902 Host Adapter
Termination on all other devices must be disabled. Termination on your
host adapter is automatically enabled in this case.
Figure 2.13 shows an example of how termination is determined for this
SCSI bus configuration on your host adapter Channel B.

Detailed Installation Procedure
2-19
2.2.6 Setting SCSI IDs
You must set each SCSI device and the host adapter to a separate SCSI
ID. The IDs are 0 through 7 for an 8-bit bus and 0 through 15 for a 16bit bus. SCSI ID 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest
priority on the SCSI bus. If you plan to boot your computer from a hard
disk drive on the SCSI bus, that drive should have SCSI ID 0, or the
lowest SCSI ID on the bus. Chapter 3, “Configuring the SYM22902 Host
Adapter” explains how to set your host adapter ID using the Symbios
SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
The peripheral device SCSI IDs are usually set with jumpers or with a
switch on the peripheral. Refer to the peripheral manufacturer’s
instructions and to the user’s manual for your computer to determine the
ID of each device and how to change it. No duplication of SCSI IDs is
allowed on a SCSI bus.
Note:
As SCAM (SCSI Configured AutoMatically) support is off by
default for the SYM53C896 Version 4.11.00 and above, you
may choose to turn this on to assist in assigning SCSI IDs.
Step 1. Determine the SCSI ID of each device on the SCSI bus.
Note any duplications.
Step 2. Make any necessary changes to the SCSI IDs and record the
IDs for future reference. Correct any duplications at this time.
Table 2.1 on page 2-21 is provided as a place to keep this
record.

2.2.7 Setting Interrupts
Normally, you do not change the default interrupt routing for the
SYM22902, since performance is usually increased by having two
separate interrupts. However, if your system does not support two
separate interrupts, the INTA/INTB jumper (see Figure A.1) is provided to
change the interrupt routing. Table 2.2 explains the jumper settings.

3.1 Overview of the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility
34.732 pc
The SYM22902 host adapter is loaded with Symbios SCSI BIOS and
Configuration Utility Version 4.16. This chapter describes the process
you need to follow to change the configuration settings on your board.
The SDMS SCSI BIOS provides support for the BIOS Boot Specification
(BBS), which allows you to choose which device to boot from by
selecting the priority.
To use this feature, the system BIOS must also be compatible with the
BBS. If your system supports the BBS, then you will use the system
BIOS Setup Menu to select the boot and drive order. In the system BIOS
setup, the Boot Connection Devices Menu appears with a list of available
boot options. Use that menu to select the device and rearrange the order.
Then exit to continue the boot process.
In most cases, you should not need to change the default configuration
of the host adapter. You may decide to alter these default values if there
is a conflict between device settings or if you need to optimize system
performance.

4.333 pc
All these properties are controlled by menus you access through the
configuration utility through the Main Menu. The Main Menu also gives
an overview of some properties of installed Symbios host adapter
boards.
3.2 Starting the Configuration Utility
You can see the version number of your Symbios SCSI BIOS in a banner
displayed on your computer monitor during boot. If the utility is available,
the following message also appears on your monitor:
44.25 pc
Press Ctrl-C to start Symbios Configuration Utility...
This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you
time to start the utility. If you decide to press “Ctrl-C,” the message
changes to:
Please wait, invoking Symbios Configuration Utility...
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the
Symbios SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
These messages may appear during the boot process:
•
“Adapter removed from boot order, parameters will be
updated accordingly” appears when an adapter is removed from
the system or relocated behind a PCI bridge.
•
“Configuration data invalid, saving default
configuration!” appears if none of the information in the NVRAM
is valid.

Important:
This utility is a powerful tool. If, while using it, you somehow
disable all of your controllers you can recover. Pressing
Ctrl-E after memory initialization during a reboot allows you
to re-enable and reconfigure.
Note:
Not all devices detected by the SCSI BIOS Configuration
Utility can be controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape
drives and scanners require that a device driver specific to
that peripheral be loaded. This device driver is provided by
the device manufacturer.
3.3 The Symbios SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility Menus
This section describes the menu system of the Symbios SCSI BIOS
Configuration Menu System.
3.3.1 Using the Menus
You make your configuration changes in the main area (central portion)
of the menu. As in the example menus shown in the figures, it is lighter
in color than the header or footer areas on the top and bottom of the
menu. The commands you use to make changes are shown in the footer
area and described in Table 3.1. Settings with black text can be changed,
while settings with white text cannot. This is true regardless of whether
the Color or Mono setting is chosen in the Global Properties Menu
(Figure 3.6), which is described in Section 3.3.6, “Global Properties
Menu”.

disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking
for the reselection phase is not disabled. If a
non-parity generating device disconnects, its
operation will never complete because the reselection
fails due to parity error.

CHS mapping
Configuration
[SCSI Plug and Play
Mapping / Alternate
CHS Mapping]
Defines how the Cylinder Head Sector (CHS) values
are mapped onto a disk without pre-existing partition
information.
SCSI Plug and Play Mapping automatically
determines the most efficient and compatible
mapping.
Alternate CHS Mapping utilizes an alternate, possibly
less efficient mapping that may be required if a device
is moved between adapters from different vendors.
Note: Neither of these options has any effect after a
disk has been partitioned using the FDISK command.
To change the CHS Mapping on a partitioned disk,
use FDISK to delete all partitions. Then reboot the
system to clear memory or the old partitioning data
will be reused, thus nullifying the previous operation.
Caution: Use care to ensure that the correct disk is
the target of an FDISK command.
Spinup Delay
(Seconds)
Configuration
[1 to 15]
Indicates the delay in seconds between spinups of
devices attached to an adapter. Staggered spinups
balance the total electrical current load on the system
during boot. The default value is 2 seconds.
Secondary Cluster
Server
Configuration
[Yes / No]
Indicates whether an adapter has one or more
devices attached that are shared with one or more
other adapters and therefore, the Symbios SCSI
BIOS should avoid SCSI bus resets as much as
possible.
This option allows the user to enable an adapter to
join a cluster of adapters without doing any SCSI bus
resets. This is a requirement for Microsoft Cluster
Server. The default value is No with an alternate
option of Yes.
Termination Control
Configuration
[Auto / Off]
If available, the field indicates whether an adapter has
automatic termination control.
Auto means that the adapter termination is on. Auto
is the default state unless termination is done
manually, in which case, the configuration is Off. Off
means that termination for that channel is off.

Scan LUNs > 0
Configuration
[Yes / No]
Indicates whether to scan for LUNs greater than zero for
a device. LUN 0 is always queried. This option should be
used if a multi-LUN device responds to unoccupied
LUNs or if it is desired to reduce the visibility of a
multi-LUN device to LUN 0 only.
4.333 pc
Set this option to No if you have problems with a device
that responds to all LUNs whether they are occupied or
not. Also, if a SCSI device with multiple LUNs exists on
your system but you do not want all of those LUNs to be
available to the system, then set this option to No. By
doing so, you will limit the scan to LUN 0.
Disconnect
Configuration
[On / Off]
Indicates whether to allow a device to disconnect during
SCSI operations. Some (usually newer) devices run
faster with disconnect enabled, while some (usually
older) devices run faster with disconnect disabled.
SCSI Timeout
Executable
[0–9999]
Indicates the maximum allowable time for completion of
a SCSI operation in seconds. Since time-outs provide a
safeguard that allow the system to recover should an
operation fail, it is recommended that a value greater
than zero be used. A value of zero allows unlimited time
for an operation to complete and could result in the
system hanging (waiting forever) should an operation
fail.
Note: This field is executable and must be selected by
pressing Enter. You also input the new value with the
number keys from the keyboard, not the number pad.
Queue Tags
Configuration
[On / Off]

Appendix A
Technical Specifications
This appendix discusses the physical environment associated with the
SYM22902 host adapter. It includes a mechanical drawing of this board,
which is shown in Figure A.1. It also includes these topics:
•
Section A.1, “Physical Environment,” page A-1
•
Section A.2, “Operational Environment,” page A-3
•
Section A.3, “Subsystem ID and Subsystem Vendor ID,” page A-9
A.1 Physical Environment
This section discusses the physical, electrical, thermal, and safety
characteristics of the SYM22902 host adapter board. Additionally, this
board is compliant with electromagnetic standards set by the FCC.
A.1.1 Physical Characteristics
The dimensions of the SYM22902 host adapter board are approximately
6.60 x 2.53 inches. PCI connection is made through edge connector J1.
The component height on the top and bottom of the SYM22902 follows
the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 standard.
Internal 16-bit SCSI connection is made through the 68-pin high density
connector J4 for Channel B. External SCSI connection is made through
the 68-pin VHDCI connector J2 for Channel A.
The J2 connector extends through the Low Profile PCI (LPPCI) or
ISA/EISA bracket, which is attached to the face of the connector outside
of the cabinet where the SYM22902 is installed. The J3 connector is
used to connect the Busy LED. It is a 4-pin one row right-angle header
for both Channel A and Channel B.
Symbios SYM22902 PCI to Ultra2 SCSI Dual Channel Low Profile PCI Host Adapter
A-1
Figure A.1
SYM22902 Mechanical Drawing
A.1.2 Electrical Characteristics
The SYM22902 maximum power requirements that include SCSI
TERMPWR (termination power) under normal operation are:
Table A.1
Maximum Power Requirements
+5 V DC
±5%
1.3 A
Over the operating range 0–55 °C
(with SCSI TERMPWR, supplied to
external connection)
+5 V DC
±5%
0.40 A
Over the operating range 0–55 °C
(without SCSI TermPWR, supplied to
external connection)
+3 V DC
±5%
0.80 A
Over the operating range 0–55 °C
The PCI PRSNT1 and PRSNT2 pins are set to indicate a 7.5 W maximum
configuration.
Under abnormal conditions, such as a short on SCSI TERMPWR, + 5 V
current may be higher. At temperatures of at least 25 °C, a current of
8 A is sustained no longer than 0.5 seconds before the self-resetting
TERMPWR short circuit protection device opens.
A-2
Technical Specifications
A.1.3 Thermal, Atmospheric Characteristics
The board is designed to operate in an environment, which is defined by
the following parameters:
•
Temperature range: 0 °C to 55 °C (dry bulb)
•
Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% noncondensing
•
Maximum dew point temperature: 32 °C
The board is designed for a storage and transit environment, which is
defined by the following parameters:
•
Temperature range: − 45 °C to + 105 °C (dry bulb)
•
Relative humidity range: 5% to 90% noncondensing
A.1.4 Electromagnetic Compliance
This board is tested to and meets class B regulatory requirements for
United States, Canadian, European, Japanese, and Australian markets
and carries the appropriate markings (FCC, CE, VCCI, C-Tick) indicating
such compliance.
A.1.5 Safety Characteristics
The bare board meets or exceeds the requirements of UL flammability
rating 94 V0. The bare board is also marked with the supplier’s name or
trademark, type, and UL flammability rating. Since this board is installed
in a PCI bus slot, all voltages are below the SELV 42.4 V limit.
A.2 Operational Environment
The SYM22902 is designed for use in PCI computer systems with either
a standard ISA/EISA or LPPCI bracket type. The SDMS software
operates the board, but the design of the board does not prevent the use
of other software. An on-board Flash memory device is provided to allow
BIOS code and open boot code support through PCI and a serial
EEPROM for each channel.
Operational Environment
A-3
A.2.1 The PCI Interface
The PCI interface operates as a 32-bit or 64-bit DMA bus master. The
connection is made through edge connector J1, which provides
connections on both the front and back of the board. The signal
definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI Local Bus Specification,
Revision 2.2 standard. The signal assignments appear in Table A.2,
Table A.3, and Table A.4.
Note:
A-4
The SYM22902 board uses 3.3 V pins to run the
SYM53C896 chip and some other parts. The 3.3 V is
required for the board to work through the host system.

The SCSI interface operates as two 16-bit, synchronous or asynchronous
buses, and supports Ultra2 SCSI protocols and 16-bit arbitration. The
interface is made through connector J2 for Channel A, which is LVD/SE.
The interface is made through connector J4 for Channel B, which is LVD
only.
The J2 connector is a 68-pin VHDCI right-angle receptacle that protrudes
through the Low Profile ISA/EISA bracket. The J4 connector is a 68-pin
high-density vertical receptacle for internal SCSI connections.
LVD/SE SCSI termination is provided for the external connection, and
LVD SCSI only termination is provided for the internal connection. SCSI
termination power is also supplied by the board. Table A.4 shows the
signal assignments for J2 and J4.
