Note:
• In case of display problems press <F5> to toggle the display
between color and monochrome. This feature may not work on all
monitors.
• The default settings are appropriate for most applications, so there
usually is no need to change the settings. If you have to change the
settings of the advanced configuration options listed below, you
should ensure that you thoroughly understand the consequences
of the change before actually doing so.
Selectable Host Adapter SCSI ID
SCSI IDs range from 0…7 if the respective device is operated on an 8-bit
SCSI bus and from 0…15 on a 16-bit SCSI bus. For 8-bit devices, ID 7 has
the highest priority and ID 0 has the lowest priority. For l6-bit devices,
the priority of IDs is 7 … 0, then 15 … 8. In this case, ID 7 has the highest
priority and ID 8 has the lowest priority. Each host adapter (8- or 16-bit)
has the default SCSI ID of 7, which gives the adapter the highest priority
on the SCSI bus.
Note: Host adapter SCSI termination: The configuration of the host
adapter SCSI termination within SCSI BIOS is not supported because
the SCSI termination is controlled by SW0900C and SW0900D (see
page 2-13).
SCSI Parity Checking
Each adapter uses SCSI parity checking to verify the accuracy of data
transfer on the SCSI bus. Most currently available SCSI devices support
SCSI parity check. If a device on the SCSI bus does not support it, dis-
able parity checking.
Selectable Boot Device
Selectable boot device by specifying the boot target ID (and LUN in case
the device has implemented multiple logical units).
