1.1 General Description
The LSI8751SP provides a SCSI-3, Ultra SCSI interface to PCI computer
systems. Installing this adapter in your PCI system allows connection of
SCSI devices over a SCSI bus.
The LSI8751SP is a 16-bit, Single-Ended (SE), SCSI solution for your
computer. This board can support both legacy Fast SCSI devices, and
the newest Ultra SCSI devices. It is also completely backwards
compatible with the existing LSI8251S host adapter.
The Storage Device Management System (SDMS™) software operates
the board. The design of the board does not prevent other software from
being written and used with it. BIOS support for this host adapter is
incorporated on the board in an 8 X 64K Flash BIOS.
This guide, along with the PCI Storage Device Management System
SDMS 4.0 User’s Guide, contains product information and installation
instructions to help you gain the full benefits of the LSI8751SP.

1.3 Interface Descriptions
This section provides a more detailed explanation about the PCI
Interface, the SCSI Interface, and Ultra SCSI.
1.3.1 The PCI Interface
PCI is a high-speed standard local bus for interfacing a number of I/O
components to the processor and memory subsystems in a high end PC.
The PCI functionality for the LSI8751SP is contained within the
LSI53C875J PCI to SCSI I/O Processor chip. The LSI53C875J connects
directly to the PCI bus and generates timing protocol in compliance with
the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.0 standard.
The PCI interface operates as a 32-bit DMA bus master. The connection
is made through edge connector J1 (see Figure 2.1). The signal
definitions and pin numbers conform to the PCI Local Bus Specification
Revision 2.0 standard. The LSI8751SP conforms to the PCI universal
signaling environment for a 5 V or 3.3 V PCI bus.
1.3.2 The SCSI Interface
The SCSI functionality for the LSI8751SP is contained within the
LSI53C875J PCI-SCSI I/O Processor chip. The LSI53C875J connects
directly to the SCSI bus and generates timing and protocol in compliance
with the SCSI standard.
The SCSI interface on the LSI8751SP operates as 8-bit or 16-bit,
synchronous or asynchronous, SE bus, and supports Ultra SCSI
protocols and 16-bit arbitration. The interface is made through two (and
only two) of the connectors J2, J3,s and J4. These connectors are shown
in Figure 2.1. Connector J2 is a 68-pin high density right angle
receptacle. Connector J3 is a shielded 68-pin high density right angle
receptacle that protrudes through the back panel bracket. Connector J4
is a 50-pin low density vertical shrouded pin header.
SE SCSI active termination is provided for the LSI8751SP. Termination
is automatically enabled when only one of the connectors J2, J3, or J4
is used. The LSI8751SP supplies SCSI bus TERMPWR through a
blocking diode and a self-resetting 1.5 A short circuit protection device.
Termination is disabled when two connectors are used.
Interface Descriptions
1-3
A 40 MHz oscillator is installed on the LSI8751SP to provide the clock
frequency to the LSI53C875J that is necessary to support Wide
Fast-20 SCSI transfers of up to 40 Mbytes/s.
1.3.3 Ultra SCSI
The LSI8751SP fully supports Ultra SCSI as well as Fast SCSI
simultaneously. Ultra SCSI (also known as Fast-20 SCSI) is an extension
of the SCSI-3 family of standards that expands the bandwidth of the
SCSI bus, allowing faster synchronous data transfers.
Special SCSI cables are specified for operation with Ultra SCSI devices.
You must consider the total number of devices and length of your SCSI
bus when setting up your system. See Chapter 2, “Installing the
LSI8751SP,” for a more detailed explanation of SCSI bus connections.

Installing the LSI8751SP
This chapter provides instructions on how to install the LSI8751SP 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 2-26
2.1 Quick Installation Procedure
This section is provided for the experienced computer user with prior host
adapter installation and SCSI bus setup experience. If you prefer a more
detailed guidance for installing the LSI8751SP, please follow the
instructions in 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 removing this host adapter board.
Remove the LSI8751SP from the packing and check that it is
not damaged. An example of this host adapter board is shown
in Figure 2.1.
Step 2. Switch off and unplug the system.
Step 3. Remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the PCI
slots.
Caution:
Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before
handling boards. Static charges on your body can damage
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.
LSI8751SP PCI to Ultra SCSI Host Adapter

Step 4. Locate the slot for installing a PCI plug-in board. The
LSI8751SP requires a PCI slot which allows bus master
operation.
Step 5. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket
screw.
Step 6. Carefully insert edge connector J1 (see Figure 2.1) of the host
adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector is
properly aligned before pressing the board into place.
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 is correct, and the board is keyed
to go in only one way.
Step 7. The bracket around the connector J3 (see Figure 2.1) should fit
where the blank bracket panel was removed. Secure the
bracket with the bracket screw before making the internal and
external SCSI bus connections.
Step 8. If you are connecting any internal SCSI devices, plug a 68-pin
connector on the end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into
connector J2 for 16-bit SCSI, or a 50-pin connector into
connector J4 for 8-bit SCSI (see Figure 2.1). Make certain to
match pin 1 on all internal connectors.
Note:
It is possible to use both internal connectors if no external
devices are attached to your host adapter. You may use
only two of the three connectors at once.
Step 9. Connect the LED cable if desired. This is designed to drive the
front panel LED found on most PC cabinets to indicate activity
on the SCSI bus.
Step 10. Replace the cabinet cover as described in the user’s manual for
your computer.
Step 11. Make all external SCSI bus connections. Finally, refer to the
PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s
Guide (or the guide for the software you use) to load the driver
software for your particular operating system.
Remember: The SCSI bus requires proper termination, and no duplicate
SCSI IDs.

2.2.3 Connecting the SCSI Peripherals
Internal SCSI bus connections to the LSI8751SP are made with an
unshielded, 68 or 50-conductor ribbon cable (see Figure 2.3). One edge
of this cable is marked with a color to indicate the pin-1 side. Sometimes
the connectors on this cable are keyed to ensure proper pin-1
connection.
All external SCSI bus connections to the LSI8751SP are made with
shielded, 68-conductor cables (see Figure 2.3). The connectors on this
cable are always keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection.

Important:
You can connect up to eight SCSI, Fast SCSI, and Ultra
SCSI devices on a Single-Ended (SE) Ultra SCSI bus only
if they are evenly spaced on a 1.5-meter Ultra SCSI cable
(0.19 m between devices). You can connect up to four
devices if they are evenly spaced on a 3-meter Ultra SCSI
cable (0.75 m between devices). The SE SCSI bus should
not exceed 3 meters (total internal and external cable
lengths), even with fewer than four devices.
The two internal cables come in the LSI8751SP kit.

Step 3. Plug the 68 or 50-pin connector on the other end of the internal
SCSI ribbon cable into the SCSI connector on your internal
SCSI device. An example of this connection is shown in
Figure 2.6. Make sure to match pin 1 on all connections.
Figure 2.6
Internal SCSI Ribbon Cable to Internal SCSI Device

Detailed Installation Procedure
2-11
Step 4. Additional internal SCSI devices are plugged in by using an
internal SCSI ribbon cable with the required number of
connectors attached along its length as shown in Figure 2.7.
An example of this type of a chained connection is shown in
Figure 2.8. Make sure to match pin 1 on all connections.

Step 5. It is also possible to use both internal connectors (J2 and J4) if
you do not attach any external devices to connector J3. An
example of this configuration is shown in Figure 2.9.
Figure 2.9
2-14
Using Both Internal Connectors
Installing the LSI8751SP
Step 6. Most PC cabinets are designed with a front panel LED
(sometimes already connected to an existing IDE drive).
Connect the LED cable to connector J5 on your host adapter,
as shown in Figure 2.10. This connection causes the front panel
LED to indicate activity on the SCSI bus.
Connector J5 is not keyed. The orientation of the LED cable
does not matter as long as all four pins are connected.
Figure 2.10 SCSI LED Connector
Some LED cables have only two wires. In this case, place the connector
on one end or the other of J5. If the LED does not light during SCSI bus
activity from this host adapter, you may have to rotate the LED cable
180°= on J5.
Detailed Installation Procedure
2-15
2.2.5 Making External SCSI Bus Connections
This section provides step-by-step instructions about making external
SCSI bus connections.
Step 1. If you need to connect external SCSI devices to the LSI8751SP,
plug the 68-pin connector on one end of a shielded external
SCSI cable (see Figure 2.3) into the host adapter connector J3
(see Figure 2.1).
This connector is now bracketed to the back panel of your
computer. Figure 2.11 shows how this connection is made.
Figure 2.11 External Cable to Host Adapter
2-16
Installing the LSI8751SP
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 2.12.
Figure 2.12 External Cable to External SCSI Device
Detailed Installation Procedure
2-17
Step 3. If you wish to connect more than one external SCSI device to
your host adapter, you must chain them together with shielded
external SCSI cables. An example of these chained
connections is shown in Figure 2.13.
Figure 2.13 Multiple External SCSI Devices Chained Together
2-18
Installing the LSI8751SP
2.2.6 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. Remember that your LSI8751SP is also on the
SCSI bus—its termination is automatically enabled when it is connected
to the end of the bus.
Your peripheral device terminators are usually set with jumpers, resistor
modules, 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.
Caution:
The autoenable/disable sensing feature on your LSI8751SP
may enable termination erroneously if it is directly cabled to
another SCSI device or host adapter using the same
sensing method. Your LSI8751SP senses SCSI devices by
detecting the ground signal on conductor 22 of a
50-conductor SCSI cable, or conductor 50 of a
68-conductor SCSI cable.
The LSI8751SP automatically covers SCSI bus termination for four
different bus configurations, depending on the use of connectors J2, J3,
and J4 on the LSI8751SP (see Figure 2.1). The four bus configurations
are:
•
Only for internal SCSI connections,
•
Only for external SCSI connections,
•
Only for internal and external connections,
•
Only for connections to both internal connectors.
Detailed Installation Procedure
2-19
2.2.7 Internal SCSI Connections
If you have only internal SCSI device connections to your host adapter,
you must terminate the last internal device on the SCSI bus. You must
disable the terminators on all other devices. Termination on your host
adapter is automatically enabled in this case.
Figure 2.14 shows an example of how termination is determined for this
SCSI bus configuration.

2.2.10 Internal SCSI Connections for Both Internal Connectors
If you have made internal SCSI device connections to both internal
connectors (J2 and J4) on the host adapter, you must terminate the
internal devices on each end of the SCSI bus. You must disable the
termination on all other devices. Termination on your host adapter is
automatically disabled in this case. Remember, you must not use the
external connector J3 if you use both internal connectors.

2.2.11 Setting SCSI IDs
You must set each SCSI device and the host adapter to a separate SCSI
ID 0 through 15. 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 SCSI hard disk drive on the SCSI bus, that drive should have
SCSI ID 0. Chapter 3, “Configuring the LSI8751SP,” explains how to set
your host adapter ID using the LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
Your 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.
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. Table 2.1 is provided as a place to keep
this record.

3.1 When to Configure the LSI8751SP
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.
Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 list the configuration settings you can change.
The global settings affect the host adapter and all SCSI devices that are
connected to it. The device settings affect only individual SCSI devices.

3.2 Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility
If you have LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Version 4.xx, and it includes the
LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, you can change the default
configuration of the SCSI host adapters. You may decide to alter these
default values if there is a conflict between device settings or if you need
to optimize system performance.
You can see the version number of your 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:
Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Logic 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 LSI Logic Configuration Utility...
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the
LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
NVRAM is available on the LSI8751SP. Changes can be made and
stored to NVRAM using this menu driven utility.
3-2
Configuring the LSI8751SP
Important:
This utility is a powerful tool. If, while using it, you somehow
disable all of your controllers, pressing Ctrl-A (or Ctrl-E on
version 4.04 or later) after memory initialization during
reboot allows you to re-enable and reconfigure.
Not all devices detected by the 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.
3.2.1 Configuration Utility Main Menu
When you start the LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the Main
Menu appears. This menu displays a list of up to four LSI Logic PCI to
SCSI host adapters and information about each of them. To select an
adapter, use only the arrow keys and enter key. Then, you can view
and/or change the current settings for that adapter and the SCSI devices
attached to it.
You can select an adapter only if Current Status is “On”. Changes are
possible since NVRAM is present on the host adapter.

The settings in this menu are global settings that affect the selected host
adapter and all SCSI devices attached to it. One of these choices can
be selected by highlighting it and pressing Enter.
SCAM Support – The LSI Logic BIOS Version 4.xx and above supports
the SCSI Plug and Play protocol called SCAM. SCAM support by default
is off in versions 4.09 and later for the LSI53C875 device. The user may
choose to turn this on only if the system drivers do not require SCAM off.
Note that if this BIOS is flashed onto a board with existing settings, then
these settings are not changed to reflect the new BIOS defaults. Go into
the Configuration Utility to change these settings.
3-8
Configuring the LSI8751SP
Parity – The LSI Logic PCI to SCSI host adapters always generate
parity, but some older SCSI devices do not. Therefore, you are offered
the option of disabling parity checking.
Note:
When disabling parity checking, it is also necessary to
disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking for
the reselection phase is not disabled. If a device does not
generate parity, and it disconnects, the I/O never completes
because the reselection never completes.
Host SCSI ID – This option refers to the host adapter’s SCSI ID, which
is a unique number used to identify the device on the SCSI bus.
Note:
In general, it is suggested that you do not change your host
adapter ID from the default value of 7, as this gives it the
highest priority on the SCSI bus. Please also note that if
you have 8-bit SCSI devices (narrow), they cannot see host
IDs greater than 7.
Scan Order – This option allows the user to tell the SCSI BIOS and
device drivers to scan the SCSI bus from low to high (0 to max) SCSI
ID, or from high to low (max to 0) SCSI ID. If there is more than one
device on the SCSI bus, changing the scan order changes the order in
which drive letters are assigned by the system. Drive order may be
reassigned differently in systems supporting the BIOS Boot Specification
(BBS).
See the PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s
Guide, Chapter 2 “SCSI BIOS” for additional information regarding BBS.
Note:
This scan order option may conflict with operating systems
that automatically assign a drive order.
Removable Media Support – This option defines the removable media
support for a specific drive. When this option is selected, a window
appears with three choices:
•
None
•
Boot Drive Only
•
With Media Installed
Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility
3-9
None indicates there is no removable media support whether the
drive is selected in BBS as being first, or first in scan order in
non-BBS.
Boot Drive Only provides removable media support for a removable
hard drive if it is first in the scan order.
With Media Installed provides removable media support wherever
the drive(s) actually resides.
One of these choices can be selected by highlighting it and pressing
Enter.
CHS Mapping – This option defines the cylinder head sector (CHS)
values that will be mapped onto a disk without pre-existing partitioning
information. SCSI Plug and Play Mapping is the default value.
To support interchange with noncompatible systems, there is another
option that can be selected by choosing CHS Mapping and then moving
the cursor to Alternate CHS Mapping.
Note:
Neither of these options will have any affect after the disk
has been partitioned with the FDISK command.
To remove partitioning, two options are available:
•
Reformat the disk using the Format Device option. See Section
3.2.3, “Device Selections Menu,” below.
•
Use the FDISK/MBR command at the C:\ prompt, where MBR
represents master boot record.
Important:
Reformatting the disk or using FDISK/MBR erases all
partitioning and data that exists. Be careful when using
either the Format utility or the FDISK/MBR command that
you target the correct disk.
After clearing the partitions and data, it is necessary to
reboot and clear memory or the old partitioning data will be
reused, thus nullifying the previous operation.
Spinup Delay (seconds) – This option allows you to stagger spinups for
a longer period of time to balance the total current load. The default
value is 2 seconds with choices between 1 and 10 seconds.
3-10
Configuring the LSI8751SP
This is a power management device designed to accommodate disk
devices that may have heavy current load during power up. If multiple
drives are being powered up simultaneously and drawing heavy current
loads, then this option staggers the spinups to limit startup current.

Sync Rate (Mbytes/s) – This option defines the maximum data transfer
rate the host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a
SCSI device must agree to a rate they can both handle.
Width (bits) – This option defines the maximum SCSI data width the
host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a SCSI
device must agree to a width they can both handle. Only host adapters
that can do 16-bit data transfers have this option enabled.
Disconnect – SCSI devices have the ability to disconnect from the
initiator during an I/O transfer. This disconnect option frees the SCSI Bus
to allow other I/O processes. Additionally, it tells the host adapter whether
or not to allow a device to disconnect. Some devices run faster with
disconnects enabled (typically newer devices), while some run faster with
disconnects disabled (typically older devices).
3-12
Configuring the LSI8751SP
Read/Write I/O Time-out (seconds) – This option sets the amount of
time the host adapter waits for a read, write, or seek command to
complete before trying the I/O transfer again. Since this provides a
safeguard allowing the system to recover if an I/O operation fails, it is
recommended that you always set the time-out to a value greater than
zero.
Note:
If the time-out is set to zero, then the I/O will never time-out.
Scan for Device at Boot Time – Set this option to No when there is a
device you do not want to be available to the system. Also, on a bus with
only a few devices attached, you can speed up boot time by changing
this setting to No for all unused SCSI IDs.
Scan for SCSI Logical Units (LUNs) – Set this option to No if you
have problems with a device that responds to all LUNs whether they are
occupied or not. For example, if there is a SCSI device with multiple
LUNs but you do not want all of those LUNs to be available to the
system, then set this option to No. This will limit the scan to LUN 0 only.
Queue Tags – This option allows the user to enable or disable the
issuing of queue tags during I/O requests when your device driver can
do this.
Initial Boot – This option allows any device attached to the first adapter
to become the boot device. It provides the users of non-BBS personal
computers with some of the flexibility of a BBS machine.
Format Device – If enabled, this option allows the user to low-level
format a magnetic disk drive. Low-level formatting will completely and
irreversibly erase all data on the drive. Formatting will default the drive to
a 512-byte sector size even if the drive had previously been formatted to
another sector size.

A.2.2 The SCSI Interface
The SCSI interface operates as 16-bit, synchronous or asynchronous,
SE bus, and supports SCSI-3 protocols and 16-bit arbitration. The
interface is made through connectors J2, J3, and J4. Connector J2 is a
68-pin high density right angle receptacle used for internal connections
(16-bit SCSI). Connector J4 is a 50-pin low density shrouded header
used for internal connections (8-bit SCSI). Connector J3 is a 68-pin high
density right angle receptacle that protrudes through the back panel
bracket.
Active SE SCSI termination is provided automatically. SCSI TERMPWR
is also supplied by the board. Table A.4 and Table A.5 show the signal
assignments for J2, J3 and J4.

changed. The contents of ROM are not erased when the computer is
turned off.
SCAM
SCSI Configured AutoMatically. A method to automatically allocate SCSI
IDs using software when SCAM compliant SCSI devices are attached.
Scatter/Gather
A device driver feature that lets the host adapter modify a transfer data
pointer so that a single host adapter transfer can access many segments
of memory. This minimizes interrupts and transfer overhead.
SCSI

peripheral bus and command set. The original standard is referred to as
SCSI-1.
SCSI-2
The current SCSI specification which adds features to the original
SCSI-1 standard.

One of the ways data is transferred over the SCSI bus. Transfers are
clocked with fixed frequency pulses. This is faster than asynchronous
data transfer. Synchronous data transfers are negotiated between the
SCSI host adapter and each SCSI device.
System BIOS
Controls the low-level POST (Power-On Self-Test), and basic operation
of the CPU and computer system.
Termination
The electrical connection required at each end of the SCSI bus,
composed of a set of resistors. It improves the integrity of bus signals.
