1.2.2 SCSI Interface
The SCSI interface is made through connectors J2 and J4. Figure 2.1
shows the location of these connectors. The SCSI interface includes
these features:
•
Provides one wide Ultra160 SCSI channel
•
Provides two connectors:
– 68-pin VHDCI for the external connection
– 68-pin high density for the internal connection
•
Supports SE and LVD signaling: 16-bit SE or LVD interfaces
•
Supports LVD/SE termination
•
Supports Fast, Ultra, Ultra2, and Ultra160 data transfer capability
– Ultra160 SCSI LVD synchronous transfers at up to 160 Mbytes/s
•
Supports Domain Validation, Double Transition (DT) data transfers,
and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
•
Supports variable block size and scatter/gather data transfers
•
Protects nondata phases with Asynchronous Information Protection
(AIP)
•
Supports two termination control options:
– Use manual shunts on connector J2 and J4 to disable
termination
– Provide software control using GPIO3 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 configuration storage
•
Includes 8 Kbytes internal RAM for SCRIPTS instruction storage
•
Provides a SCSI activity LED connector (J3)
