Updating the Firmware
Upon opening, the E100 SCSI Control Panel verifies that the firmware
version in the E100 flash ROM is the same as that of the Control Panel.
If it is different, or if the firmware has become damaged or corrupted,
a dialog box appears that allows you to update the firmware on the
E100 card. Click OK to update the firmware.
Note: Your best choice is to click OK and make the firmware versions
the same. If you click Cancel, you will continue to get this message
every time you open the E100 SCSI Control Panel.
E100 Ultra SCSI Controls
The Control Panel contains four options that control the operation of
your E100 Ultra SCSI feature:
■
Old Driver Support
■
Reset the bus at Startup
■
Enable ROM Drivers
■
Termination
When you install the Control Panel, the first three options are enabled
and termination is set to automatic. In most cases, there is no need to
change any of these default settings.
Old Driver Support
When Old Driver Support is enabled, non-SCSI Manager 4.3 compliant
drivers can be used. The need for this applies mostly to non-disk
devices, such as tape drives and scanners. The default setting is
enabled.
Reset Bus at Startup
When Reset Bus at Startup is enabled, the E100 resets the SCSI bus
when you start or restart your SuperMac S900 computer.
Note: Disable this option only if a slow drive doesn’t mount at startup
or if you have a device connected that performs unwanted actions when
the bus is reset. The recommend option is Enabled.
