3.4.4 SCSI 
Support 
The SCSI sub-system consists of the LSI 53C1030 Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI controller, one 
internal 80-pin connector (SCSI Channel A), one external high 80-pin density SCSI connector 
(SCSI channel B), and on-board termination for both SCSI channels.  
3.4.4.1 
LSI* 53C1030 Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Controller 
The LSI53C1030 is a PCI-X to Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Multifunction Controller that 
supports the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2, and the PCI-X Addendum to the PCI 
Local Bus Specification, Revision 1.0a. 
The LSI53C1030 supports up to a 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X bus. DT clocking enables the 
LSI53C1030 to achieve data transfer rates of up to 320 megabytes per second (MB/s) on each 
SCSI channel, for a total bandwidth of 640 MB/s on both SCSI channels.  
SureLINK* Domain Validation detects the SCSI bus configuration and adjusts the SCSI transfer 
rate to optimize bus interoperability and SCSI data transfer rates. SureLINK Domain Validation 
provides three levels of domain validation, assuring robust system operation. 
The LSI53C1030 integrates two high-performance SCSI Ultra320 cores and a 64-bit, 133 MHz 
PCI-X bus master DMA core. The LSI53C1030 employs three ARM* ARM966E-S processors to 
meet the data transfer flexibility requirements of the Ultra320 SCSI, PCI, and PCI-X 
specifications. Separate ARM processors support each SCSI channel and the PCI/PCI-X 
interface.  
These processors implement the LSI* Logic Fusion-MPT* architecture, a multithreaded I/O 
algorithm that supports data transfers between the host system and SCSI devices with minimal 
host processor intervention. Fusion-MPT technology provides an efficient architecture that 
solves the protocol overhead problems of previous intelligent and non-intelligent adapter 
designs. LVDlink* technology is the LSI Logic implementation of Low Voltage Differential (LVD) 
SCSI. LVDlink transceivers allow the LSI53C1030 to perform either Single-Ended (SE) or LVD 
transfers.  
The LSI* 53C1030 SCSI controller implements a regular SCSI solution or a RAID On 
MotherBoard (ROMB) solution. This RAID functionality is included in the LSI option rom and 
allows the user to select either Integrated Mirroring (IME) or Integrated Striping (IS) RAID mode. 
The system BIOS provides a setup option to allow the user to select one of these two modes 
The LSI Logic BIOS Configuration Utility or the IM DOS Configuration Utility is used to configure 
the IME and IS firmware attributes. Using the LSI Logic BIOS and drivers adds support of 
physical device recognition for the purpose of Domain Validation and Ultra320 SCSI expander 
configuration. Host-based status software monitors the state of the mirrored drives and reports 
error conditions as they arise.
