Introduction
IntraServer’s ITI-8000 Series Ultra2/Ultra3 SCSI, Quad Fast Ethernet and
Video adapters for CompactPCI
®
combine state of the art Low Voltage
Differential (LVD) Ultra2 and Ultra3 SCSI technology with multiport Fast
Ethernet and Video. IntraServer ITI-8000 Series adapters provide maximum
integration of the most commonly required server functions, leaving the
maximum number of free CompactPCI
®
slots available for your application.
IntraServer provides state of the art software drivers, which take full
advantage of the embedded RISC SCRIPTS multiport SCSI controller to
minimize system overhead and maximize data throughput. Four integrated
Fast Ethernet channels provide high performance network connectivity, with
full compatibility with the Sun™ Solaris™ QFE driver. An integrated ATI
Rage2C graphics engine provides high performance graphics capability
without the need for an additional CompactPCI
®
slot.
IntraServer provides the highest performance and the maximum functionality,
while leaving the system integrator the most expandable system platform.
Available CompactPCI
®
compliant hot swap makes the ITI-8000 Series a
must for your high availability CompactPCI
®
application.
This manual will serve as a step by step guide during the installation of your
CompactPCI
®
IntraServer host adapter in your computer.

Adapter Configuration
IntraServer CompactPCI
®
Combination adapters will have a different
connector configuration depending on which variation you have purchased.
This guide will cover the ITI-8241C-S, two Ultra2/LVD SCSI port, four Fast
Ethernet and Video, fully configured module. For all other variations of the
adapter, simply skip those sections that do not apply to your adapter.
I/O Connectors
SCSI
ITI-8000 host adapters include an external SCSI Connector for each SCSI
channel, accessible through the front bulkhead handle. The ITI-8241C-R
variant of the module allows SCSI to exit the rear of the system enclosure, by
connecting to J3 and J5 of the ITI-8000 module. See appendix A and
Appendix B for additional Information.
Correct installation of your adapter requires that you first understand the
basic rules of the SCSI bus and correctly configure the termination based on
the position of the IntraServer CompactPCI
®
adapter on the bus. In order for
a SCSI bus to operate, it must be electrically terminated at both ends.
The terminators for LVD/SE and SE on the ITI-8000 Series adapters are fully
automatic, and in normal circumstances need no manual intervention for
correct operation. Indicator lights on the handle of the module will confirm
correct operation of each of the buses.
Each of the two Ultra2 SCSI ports are capable of running Low Voltage
Differential (LVD) at up to 80MB/sec, or Single Ended (SE) at up to
40MB/sec. Placing a Single Ended device on an LVD bus will cause the bus
to run in SE mode, and reduce the overall bandwidth of the bus to 40MB/sec.
Ethernet
Four Ethernet connectors are provided on the adapter handle. They will be
known to the Solaris system as qfe0 – qfe3
1
, and are numbered from the top
of the handle to the middle, where the port closest to the top (or end) of the
Page 14 of 83
handle is qfe0. See Figure 1 for location of the ports, and Appendix A for
connector pin-out.
1
Note: Your ports will be named with the next four available qfe numbers if
there are existing qfe ports in your system.
Video
A 15-pin “D” standard VGA connector is provided on the module handle.
Plug your VGA monitor into this connector, and your system keyboard and
mouse to the CPU keyboard and mouse port. Solaris will automatically
recognize the ATI video subsystem under the m64 driver.

Installing the ITI-8241C-S
Adapter
The ITI-8241C-S Combination host adapter is plug and play compatible with
Sun Solaris SPARC™ systems. All functions of the ITI-8241C-S adapter are
accessible from the front of the adapter. With the addition of the optional
ITI-8241C-R rear I/O module, all functions can also be brought to the rear of
the system.
If you plan on using the ITI-8241C-R rear I/O module, you must configure
your ITI-8241C-S adapter to select rear or front output for the Video and
Ethernet functions.
Configuring SCSI for Rear I/O
The ITI-8241C-S SCSI ports on the front and rear are all active at the same
time. If the Front ports are used alone, or the rear ports are used alone, the
module will terminate the SCSI bus. If the rear and front SCSI port on either
the A or B SCSI channel are used together, the module will automatically
disable the onboard terminators for that port.
No manual configuration of the SCSI termination is required. The state of
the on-board termination can be monitored on the TERM LED on the module
handle.
