SCSI Device Configuration
3-14 FlashPoint™ LT BT-930 User’s Manual
Disconnection ON
OFF
Use this option to enable or disable SCSI
disconnection for each target device. This
option allows a SCSI device to disconnect
itself when it is not ready for data transfer.
When multiple devices are connected to the
same SCSI bus, SCSI disconnection allows
SCSI devices to perform seek operations in
parallel and improves overall SCSI bus
performance.
Wide
Negotiation ON
OFF
The FlashPoint LT does not support wide
negotiation. (Displayed with grey highlight.)
Motor Spin-up ON
OFF
This option allows you to identify the drives
whose motor spin-up is sequentially controlled
by BIOS at power-up. When the disk drive has
a spin-up
jumper enabled that selects Spin-up at Power-
On or Spin-up with Start Unit command, this
parameter must be set to
ON
.
Setting this parameter to ON , allows BIOS to
sequentially issue a Start Unit command at
power-up.
OFF
prevents BIOS from issuing
this command.
Note: If the jumper on the device is enabled
and this parameter is set to OFF, although the
drive letter will be recognized the device will
not spin up.
BIOS Scan ON
OFF
This feature is also useful when you want to
exclude a removable device from BIOS INT
13h support. You must install the DOS ASPI
driver to support any device that is selected to
be ignored by the BIOS scan. When
ON , BIOS
will identify and register the device at the
specified SCSI ID.
Note: If this device is the boot device, then this
option should be set to on.
