Additional Options
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 (default entry).
Yes
The function is disabled.
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
output to the screen.
