68 pin to 80 Pin SCA Adapter |
|
|
Anyone know the correct setup to use an 68 pin to 80 Pin SCA Adapter?
Here's a link to an image of the adapter I'm trying to use:
http://www.mc3llc.com/prodimages/CC685FFL-2_LR.jpg
I am trying to use this to connect an 80 Pin SCA HD to my MegaRAID 1600
elite U160 controller. I currently have it setup on a 4 position
terminated cable: position 1 is my Adapter, position 2 is empty,
position 3 is my HD (with adapter & power), position for is my LVD/SE
terminator.
The HD is setup for SCSI ID 3 (on the adapter). There are jumper
options for LED, SYN, DLY, MTR also on the adapter.
Do I need to setup some sort of "termination" for the HD itself? Some
of these adapters can be bought with "active termination". Does that
just mean it has a terminator built in? Or do I need to use an adapter
like that? Is "active termination" the same as TPM (some adapters have
these jumper settings) and I think TPM is "Terminal Power" or
something?
Anyone used one of these adapters successfully before?
I can see the hard drive in my controller BIOS setup, but it wont let
me do anything with it.
Any ideas? |

Seems OK. If you have terminator on end connector that is all you need. |
Mike.What exactly are you trying to do with it? Some adapters expect the
boot drive to be ID0 (just remove the jumpers on ID0 and ID1) What OS? are
you trying to install onto this drive? |

No kidding. All that from a simple photograph.

What do you care.

Thanks for displaying the standard of your knowledge.
Feel free to name one less than 10 years old that has that limitation.

But ID 2 and ID3 is OK, right?

It wont let me format the drive (low level format in controller BIOS),
it goes for about 5 seconds then fails. Anyone know of a way to test
the integrity of these drives (Fujitsu MAM3184MC) or controller
(MegaRAID Elite 1600 series 463)? All the drive utilities I've found
from Fujistu are for IDE drives only. |

Sdiag is the Windows SCSI diagnostic. Pretty bad.
I would use "smartctl -a scsi<bus><ID>" instead.

So it's dead.

Unless the Fujitsu survives a broken off LLF, what's the point.
And to test either the controller or the drive, one of them has to be
"known good".
