SCSI Device Configuration
Note:
To configure settings for a SCSI device, you must
know its SCSI ID (see Using SCSI Disk Utilities on page 19).
■
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.
■
Maximum Sync Transfer Rate —Determines the maximum
synchronous data transfer rate the SCSI card supports. The
default value is 10.0 MBytes/sec.
■
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, changing the setting to No
results in slightly better performance.
Advanced Configuration Options
Note:
Do not change the Advanced Configuration Options
unless absolutely necessary.
■
Plug-and-Play SCAM Support —When set to Enabled, the
SCSI card automatically assigns SCSI IDs to SCSI devices that
support the SCAM protocol (see SCSI IDs on page 2). The
default is Disabled, but you can set it to Enabled even if you
have a non-SCAM device.
