Chapter 7 Board-control Commands
Page 7 - 2
Introduction
Introduction
There are two types of commands that you will issue to the RF3880 adapter:
Pass-through commands, and adapter Board-control commands. This chapter
concentrates on Board-control commands.
Board-control commands allow you to communicate set-up information and
operational guidelines to the RF3880 adapter, as well as request current
information from the board, perform diagnostics, and selectively reset the SCSI
bus. This chapter is intended to be used as a look-up reference for these Board-
control commands issued to the adapter.
If you need information about the SCSI Pass-through commands available, see
a current SCSI, SCSI-2, or SCSI-3 specification and CCS addendum. See
Chapter 5 for information about initiating an Initiator Pass-through command,
or Chapter 6 for Target Mode Pass-through commands.
Summary
This chapter provides detail about each individual Board-control command:
•
The command code
•
A description of the command
•
Explanation of unique flags and Parameter Block fields
•
Examples of command usage where helpful
This chapter is most helpful to someone writing or modifying a driver for the
RF3880 product.
