Parallel SCSI configuration

This menu allows for setting up SCSI attributes.

Parallel SCSI configuration menu

Press the

Enter

key to toggle the current menu to the next SCSI bus.

•

Select

to edit the SCSI Initiator menu settings, described later in the chapter.

•

Select

to enable/disable SCSI Discovery.

•

Select

to enable/disable SCSI bus Reset on Boot. When enabled, the network storage router

automatically resets SCSI buses after initial library power-up and after reboots.

•

Select

to set the discovery delay time for SCSI devices. The default is 30 seconds.

This is the time the

network storage router waits after a power-up or reboot before starting to discover SCSI devices. This

value should be set to no less than 250ms, according to the SCSI standard for Reset-to-Selection Time.

This value may need to be increased to ensure that all SCSI devices complete their individual

power-ups. With Discovery enabled, the Discovery Delay lengthens the time taken by the network

storage router to reboot.

•

Select

to toggle the SCSI termination mode between

Enabled

and

Disabled

. This option is

automatically set to Enabled for Internal termination. The Internal setting allows the network storage

router to internally terminate a SCSI connection. Setting this option to Disabled allows the SCSI bus, not

the network storage router, to handle SCSI terminations.

•

Select

to access menu settings for the maximum SCSI bus connection speed, described later in this

chapter. Note that when this option is selected, the user is prompted to select a Target ID on the

currently selected bus. Currently, maximum speed settings are shown.
