Using SCSI Disk Utilities SCSI Device Configuration Options Note: To configure settings for a SCSI device, you must know its SCSI ID (see Using SCSI Disk Utilities on page 36). I Initiate Sync Negotiation-When set to Enabled, initiates synchronous data transfer negotiation (Sync Negotiation) between the device and SCSI card. Leave this setting enabled unless any attached SCSI device connected to the SCSI card does not support synchronous negotiation. I Maximum Sync Transfer Rate-Determines the maximum synchronous data transfer rate the SCSI card supports. The default value is 10.0 MB/sec. I Enable Disconnection-When set to Yes, allows the SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. Leave the setting at Yes if two or more SCSI devices are connected to the SCSI card. If only one SCSI device is connected, slightly better performance will be achieved if you change the setting to No. Advanced Configuration Options Note: Do not change Advanced Configuration Options unless absolutely necessary. I Plug-and-Play SCAM Support-When set to Enabled, the SCSI card automatically assigns SCSI IDs to SCSI devices that support the SCAM protocol. The default is Disabled, but you can set it to Enabled even if you have a non-SCAM device. Using SCSI Disk Utilities To access the SCSI disk utilities: 1 From the menu that appears after starting SCSISelect, select SCSI Disk Utilities. SCSISelect scans the SCSI bus to determine the devices installed and displays a list of all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID. 36
