Wide Bus Enabled
If you are attaching an external device with an 8-bit SCSI interface cable, set Wide enabled to no . Follow
the steps in “Limit Adapter Speed Using the Maximum SCSI Bus Speed in MB/s” on page 19.
Quick Arbitration and Select (QAS) Capability
The QAS capability is automatically controlled by the adapter.
Setting Bus Speed at Boot
If running a 2.6 kernel, a module parameter is provided to allow for setting the maximum bus speed at
boot time before the iprinit utility runs. Normally this should not be needed, but if you are having difficulty
booting due to running at 160 MB/s, bus speed can be lowered to 80 MB/s by using ipr.max_speed=0 on
the kernel command line.
Problem Determination
If you encounter any problems with the adapter after the installation, refer to your system unit
documentation for information about running diagnostics or other problem-determination procedures. Refer
to the PCI-X SCSI RAID Controller Reference Guide for Linux, order number SA23-1327.
