SCSI Setup
Enable disconnection
SCSI devices can release the SCSI bus during command execution with this
function. A typical example of this is a tape device that has no need to access the
SCSI bus during rewinding and can be "disconnected" from the SCSI bus for this
period.
You can disable the function if you have only connected one SCSI device. In this
case, disconnection improves performance.
The function is enabled (default entry).
Yes
The function is disabled.
No
Send Start Unit Command
If the function is enabled, SCSI devices which support it are only started when
they receive the "Start-Unit" command from the SCSI BIOS. This allows the SCSI
devices to be activated consecutively. This is used if your system power supply is
too weak to start several drives simultaneously or for preventing switchon current
peaks.
You may have to make settings on your SCSI devices to enable support for this
function (see the documentation for the SCSI devices).
The function is enabled.
Yes
The function is disabled (default entry).
No
Include BIOS Scan
The SCSI device can be used as the boot drive if this function is enabled. The
SCSI device is accessed by the SCSI BIOS and is assigned a drive identifier. A
message is displayed on the screen.
The SCSI device can be the boot drive and is assigned a drive
Yes
identifier (default entry).
The SCSI device is not accessed by the SCSI BIOS.
No
This function should be set to No for drives which you know will never be
i
used as the boot drive (e.g. DAT drives). This saves time during system
startup.
