1-2 FlashPoint™ LT BT-930 User’s Manual
Configuration
Plug and Play Operation. FlashPoint adapter configuration is handled by
the PCI motherboard. Operating parameters can be adjusted using
AutoSCSI

, a menu-driven utility residing in the adapter’s Read Only
Memory (ROM).
Features
The FlashPoint PCI host adapter has the following features:
• Fast data transfer rates
The FlashPoint supports standard data transfer rates including Fast
SCSI-2 at 10 megabytes per second and Ultra SCSI rates at 20
megabytes per second.
• SCAM Support
The FlashPoint supports the SCSI-3 SCAM (SCSI Configured
Automatically) ConLevels 1 and 2 protocols for SCSI ID assignment.
SCAM devices do not require manual SCSI ID assignment. The
FlashPoint adapter assigns a SCSI ID to the device as required. See the
owner’s manual for your peripheral devices to determine whether or
not they support SCAM.
• SmartTerm

The FlashPoint has no onboard jumpers. With SmartTerm, the
FlashPoint adapter determines the configuration of the daisy chained
devices, and self-terminates as required. See the owner’s manual for
your SCSI devices to determine how they support termination.
• SeqEngine

SeqEngine provides automated SCSI command processing which
reduces SCSI command overhead by minimizing the need to interface
with the host processor. This results in improved performance.
