*************************** General Description **************************

The LSI Logic CIM software is designed to allow the monitoring and management
of LSI Logic Fusion-MPT(TM) controllers and the attached SCSI devices. These 
controllers represent the newest system level integration technology in 
intelligent I/O processors from LSI Logic.

The LSI Logic CIM software package solves the increasingly complex
problem of network system management. LSI Logic CIM software consists of a CIM browser,
CIM provider, and a driver/firmware interface.

**************************** Before You Begin ********************************

LSI Logic CIM software requires an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer with an 80386
or higher microprocessor. 

An understanding of basic operating system commands is assumed. 

Before using the LSI Logic CIM software, the LSI Logic SCSI controller should be 
configured into your system, taking into account the configuration of other 
host bus adapters and system resources (see "Basic Rules...").

LSI Logic recommends that all data be backed up before making any changes 
or installing any software, including LSI Logic CIM software.
Failure to adhere to this accepted computer practice may lead to loss of data.

The Fusion-MPT driver must be properlly installed in order
for the LSI Logic CIM software to function properly.

*  *  * Basic Rules For SCSI Host Bus Adapter and Device Installation *  *  *

Both ends of the SCSI bus must be terminated. Refer to the hardware manuals 
for the devices and the host adapter to determine what the terminators 
are, and where they are located.

Each SCSI device must be configured with a different ID number. Refer to the 
hardware manuals for the devices and the host adapter to locate where the 
jumpers or dip switches are for setting ID numbers. Usually the host   
adapter is ID 7. The devices are then set at IDs 0 through 6 (plus 8 through 
15 for wide SCSI). The bootable hard drive must have the lowest numerical ID. 

The red or blue line on a standard SCSI cable (or the black line on one end 
of a multicolored SCSI cable) designates pin one on the cable connector and 
must connect to pin one on the device or host bus adapter connector. Refer to 
the hardware manuals for the devices and the controller to locate pin one of 
the connector.

If the system already has an internal bootable hard drive (IDE), the drivers
for the SCSI device(s) must reside on the internal bootable hard drive.
