Configuring the SCSI Card 2930CU with SCSISelect
SCSI Parity Checking
—When set to
Enabled
, verifies the
accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Leave this setting
enabled unless any SCSI device connected to the SCSI card does
not support SCSI parity. If one SCSI device does not support
SCSI parity, change this setting to
Disabled
.
Host Adapter SCSI Termination
—Determines the termination
setting for the SCSI card. The default setting is
Automatic
, which
determines termination this way:
If a cable is connected to the SCSI card’s internal
or
external
SCSI connector, the terminators are enabled. (The SCSI card
is at the
end
of the SCSI bus.)
If a cable is connected to the SCSI card’s internal
and
external
SCSI connector, the terminators are disabled. (The SCSI card
lies
between
the ends of the SCSI bus.)
You can also disable the terminators by setting Host Adapter
Termination to
Disable
. Adaptec recommends that you leave
this setting at its default (
Automatic
).
Boot Device Options
Boot SCSI ID
—Specifies the SCSI ID of your boot drive.
Boot LUN Number
—Specifies which LUN to boot from on
your boot drive. BIOS Multiple LUN Support must be enabled
(see
page B-5
).
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 B-7
).
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 SCSI device connected to the SCSI card does not
support synchronous negotiation.
Maximum Burst Rate
—Determines the maximum synchronous
data transfer rate the SCSI card supports. If you have an Ultra
