Additional Options: SCSI Device Configuration
SCSI device settings allow you to configure parameters
for each device on the SCSI bus. To configure a specific
device, you must identify the SCSI ID assigned to that
device. To determine the SCSI ID of a device, see Using
the SCSI Disk Utilities on page 6.
■
Initiate Sync Negotiation — This option determines
whether or not synchronous data transfer negotiation
between the host adapter and a device is initiated by
the host adapter.
The default setting is Yes (Enabled). Set Initiate Sync
Negotiation to No
for devices that do not support
Sync Negotiation.
■
Maximum Sync Transfer Rate — This option sets the
maximum synchronous data transfer rate that the
host adapter supports. The host adapter supports
transfer rates of up to 10.0 MBytes/sec. If Initiate
Sync Negotiation is set to No, then the maximum syn-
chronous transfer rate is the maximum rate that the
host adapter accepts from the device during
negotiation.
■
Enable Disconnection — This option lets a SCSI
device temporarily disconnect from the SCSI bus.
This allows the host adapter to perform other opera-
tions while the SCSI device is disconnected. The
default setting is Yes. Set Enable Disconnection to
Yes if two or more SCSI devices are connected to the
host adapter.
■
Send Start Unit Command — This option deter-
mines whether the Start Unit SCSI Command is sent
to the device at bootup (most devices do not require
this). The default setting is No.
■
BIOS Multiple LUN Support—This option deter-
mines whether booting from a SCSI device that has
multiple LUNs is supported. The default setting is No
(Disabled). Enable this option if your boot device has
multiple LUNs.
■
Include in BIOS SCAN—This option determines
whether or not the AHA-2920C will be included in
the BIOS device scan during power up. The default
setting is Yes.
■
Reset SCSIBus at IC Initialization
—This option
determines whether or not the SCSI bus will be reset
and placed into an idle state after power up. The
default value is enabled.
Additional Options: Boot Device Options
Boot device options allow you to specify the device from
which to boot your computer.
■
Boot SCSI ID
—This option specifies the SCSI ID of
the boot device and must correspond to the ID of the
boot device. The default setting is SCSI ID 0.
■
Boot LUN Number
—This option allows you to spec-
ify which LUN to boot from on your boot device if
the device has multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Num-
bers) and Multiple LUN Support is enabled. The
default setting is LUN 0.
Additional Options: Advanced Configuration Options
Do not change the advanced configuration options
unless absolutely necessary.
■
Plug and Play SCAM Support — This option allows
the host adapter to automatically assign SCSI IDs to
SCSI devices that support the SCAM protocol. The
default setting is Disabled. Most non-SCAM devices
tolerate the SCAM protocol, so you can enable this
option even if you have a non-SCAM device.
■
Host Adapter BIOS — This option enables or dis-
ables the host adapter BIOS. The default setting is
Enabled. Several SCSISelect options are not valid
unless the host adapter BIOS is enabled.
Make sure that the BIOS is enabled if you want to
boot from a SCSI disk drive connected to the host
adapter. Disable the BIOS if device drivers control the
devices on the SCSI bus and do not require BIOS
functionality.
