Configuring the AAA-13xSA RAID Card with SCSISelect

SCSI

Select

 Settings

SCSI Bus Interface Definitions

The following settings are the SCSISelect settings most likely to 
require any modification:

■

Array Adapter SCSI ID

— This option sets the RAID card’s 

SCSI ID. The default setting is SCSI ID 7, which gives the card 
the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend that you 
leave the AAA-13xSA RAID card set to SCSI ID 7.

■

SCSI Parity Checking

—This option determines whether the 

AAA-13xSA RAID card verifies the accuracy of data transfer 
on the SCSI bus. The default setting is Enabled. You should dis-
able SCSI Parity Checking on the card and all SCSI devices if 
any SCSI device connected to the card does not support SCSI 
parity; otherwise, leave it enabled. Most SCSI devices do sup-
port SCSI parity. If you are not sure whether a device supports 
SCSI parity, consult the documentation for the device.

■

Host Adapter SCSI Termination

—This option sets termina-

tion on the AAA-13xSA RAID card. The default setting is Auto 
Mode. This means the card will detect whether internal or 
external SCSI devices are connected to it and whether they are 
Wide or Narrow SCSI devices. The adapter will then adjust its 
termination accordingly. Under normal operation, you should 
never need to change this setting.

■

Host Adapter UltraSCSI

—This option determines whether the 

adapter supports Ultra SCSI devices. The default setting is Dis-
abled. If you have any installed Ultra SCSI devices installed, 
you should enable this setting. When this setting is enabled, 
the card negotiates for data transfer speeds of up to 20 
MBytes/sec. (or 40 MBytes/sec. for Wide SCSI devices).

Note: 

If you use Ultra SCSI data transfer speeds, be 

sure to use high-quality cables to connect the disk 
drives to the adapter. The quality of the cable is much 
more critical when you use higher-speed data transfer. 
See Additional Hints for Connecting SCSI Peripherals on 
page 2-8 for information on cabling SCSI peripherals.
