I am trying to install the following combination of
hardware into an Alpha 3000-500 machine :
o TurboChannel option card PMAZC-AA (SCSI controller).
o Cabled to StorageWorks BA350 controller and SBB shelf
using a 4 ft. SCSI-2 cable.
o Each SBB contains a Seagate ST12400N disk drive.
The system recognizes the PMAZC-AA card in the TC slot.
The problem comes when trying to test the card using
">>> test tc2", I get errors on every single SCSI id.
The controller tests fine without drives in the SW shelf.
So I'm thinking the drives aren't jumpered correctly.
I can't find in the SW docs how drives need to be set,
specifically, termination power. Should the ST12400N
supply the bus, supply it's own, or should the bus supply
the drive with termination power? Should parity on the
drive be enabled?
Any reponses appreciated.
Kevin
