SCSI Bus Interface Definitions
SCSI Controller ID - (Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI card, This product is set at 7, which
gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. It is recommended not to change this setting.
SCSI Controller Parity - (Default: Enabled) SCSI cards perform parity checking to verify th
accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Most currently available SCSI devices support parity
checking. However, if a device on the SCSI bus does not support parity checking, disable this
option. You cannot mix devices that do and do not support parity checking on the same SCSI bus.
SCSI Controller Termination - (Default: Automatic) Determines the termination setting for the
SCSI card. The default setting is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the termination as
needed. It is recommended not to change this setting.
Additional Options
Boot Device Configuration
Select Master SCSI Controller – (Default: 29320LPE)
SCSI Device Configuration
SCSI Device Configuration options can be set for each connected SCSI device.
Sync Transfer Rate - (Default: 160) Determines the maximum synchronous data transfer rate that
the SCSI card supports. We recommend that you leave the maximum (default) value of 320MB/sec.
Packetized - (Default: Yes) Packetized protocol is required to operate 320MB/sed. When enabled,
this option is available if it is implemented in the device drivers. However, this option is not
supported by the BIOS.
QAS - (Default: Yes) Quick Arbitration and Selection reduces the overhead of control release on the
SCSI bus from one device to another. This improvement reduces command overhead and
maximizes bus utilization. When enabled, this option is available if it is implemented in the device
drivers. However, this option is not supported bye the BIOS.
Initiate Wide Negotiation - (Default: Yes) Enables the SCSI card to initiate Wide Negotiation with
the SCSI target. When set to Yes, the SCSI card attempts 16-bit data transfer (wide negotiation).
When set to No, the SCSI card used 8-bit data transfer unless the SCSI device requests wide
negotiation.
Enabled Disconnection - (Default: Yes) When set to Yes, Enable Disconnection allows the SCSI
device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. When set to No, the SCSI device cannot disconnect from
the SCSI bus, packetized transfers cannot occur, and transfer rates are set at Ultra 160 levels.
Send Start Unit Command – (Default: Yes) When set tot Yes, sends the Start Unit Command to
the SCSI device at boot up. This reduces the load on a system's power supply by allowing the SCSI
card to turn on SCSI devices one-by-one when the system boots: otherwise, all SCSI devices turn
on at the same time.
