8 Channel Systems:
8 Channels, each with a 8 mbps file ("8X8").
Channels 1-8 may be mapped to a single SCSI drive.
MaxDisks = 1.
If two SCSI disks are used:
Channels 1-4 are mapped to drive D:\
Channels 5-8 are mapped to drive E:\
Set MaxDisks = 2.
If two sets of disks are used (total of 4 SCSI drives):
Channels 1-4 are mapped to D:\ & E:\
Channels 5-8 are mapped to F:\ & G:\
The setting MaxDisks remains = 2.
12 Channel Systems:
12 Channels, each with a 8 mbps file ("12X8")
With 2 SCSI hard drives--(Max Disks = 2)
Channels 1-6 are mapped to Drive D:\
Channels 7-12 are mapped to Drive E:\
or
with 3 SCSI hard drives--(MaxDisks = 3)
Each board is mapped to an individual drive
Board 1 to Drive D:\
etc.
16 Channel Systems:
16 Channels, each with a 8 mbps file ("16X8")
Channels 1-8 are mapped to SCSI drive D:\ (boards 1 & 2)
Channels 9-16 are mapped to SCSI drive E:\ (boards 3 & 4)
Set MaxDisks = 2.
To calculate the number to be set for MaxDisks, divide the number
of channels by the number of drives. If there are any channels
remaining, map them to the last drive. Be sure there are no
channels “cross-mapped” within a specific mapping configuration.
