3.1 When to Configure the LSIU40HVD
In most cases, changing the default configuration of the host adapter is
not necessary. If a conflict does exist between device settings, or if a
need exists to optimize system performance, this Configuration Utility
provides the means to change system configurations.
The configuration settings that may be changed are discussed in
Table 3.1 . The global settings affect the host adapter and all SCSI
devices which are connected to it. The device settings affect only
individual SCSI devices.
