DPT PM-2011, PM-2021, PM-2041W, PM-3021 HBAs

Preconfiguration Information

• The EPROM should not be earlier than version 5E, and the SmartROM should not be earlier than version 2.C.

• Only two DPT adapters can be used per system.

  • If two adapters are installed, do not install an IDE controller.

  • If an IDE controller is installed, only one DPT adapter will be supported.

Supported Settings

You must use the settings in this typeface for the DPT adapter if an IDE controller is installed:

• Follow the instructions in "DPT PM-2022, PM-2042W, PM-2122, PM-2142W SCSI and PM-3222, PM-3332UW SCSI RAID HBAs" to disable WD1003 emulation using the DPT SCSI Storage Manager Utility diskette.

  Emulation mode for drives 0 and 1 should be set to 0 indicating "no drives present," or there will be missing drives when the system boots.

• Use edge-triggered interrupts on the PM-2011.

• The PM-2041W adapter's SmartROM must be upgraded to at least version 3DL in place of 3D0. The BIOS on adapters with version 3D0 does not detect any devices connected to it.

Known Problems and Limitations

• The DPT adapter may cause the Solaris installation to fail due to loss of interrupts, depending on the setting of jumper Y34. If the installation fails, try changing the setting of jumper Y34 (even if the on-board diskettes have already been disabled by removing jumper Y20).

• The dpt driver only detects the PM-2041W adapter at address 0x230; therefore, dual card mode does not work.
