ARO-1130CA Installation and Hardware Guide
SCSI Device Configuration
The SCSI device settings allow you to configure certain parameters
for each device on the SCSI bus. To configure settings for a specific
device, you must know the SCSI ID assigned to that device. If you are
not sure of the SCSI ID, see Using the SCSI Disk Utilities on page 5-4.
■
Initiate Sync Negotiation
—This option determines whether
synchronous data transfer negotiation (Sync Negotiation)
between the device and ARO-1130CA is initiated by the SCSI
channel controlled by the ARO-1130CA. Normally, you should
leave Initiate Sync Negotiation set to enabled, because most
SCSI devices support synchronous negotiation and because it
allows for faster data transfer. The default setting is Yes.
■
Maximum Transfer Rate
—This option determines the maxi-
mum data transfer rate that the SCSI channel controlled by the
ARO-1130CA supports. The default setting is 20.0 MBytes/sec
(10 MBytes/sec for motherboards that do not support Wide
SCSI). (The effective data transfer rate is doubled when Initiate
Wide Negotiation is set to Yes. For example, a transfer rate of
20 MBytes/sec becomes 40 MBytes/sec.)
■
Enable Disconnection
—This option determines whether the
SCSI channel controlled by the ARO-1130CA allows the SCSI
device to disconnect from the SCSI bus (sometimes called
Disconnect/Reconnect). The default setting is Yes.
You should leave Enable Disconnection set to Yes if two or
more SCSI devices are supported by the ARO-1130CA. If only
one SCSI device is supported by the ARO-1130CA, you can set
Enable Disconnection to No to achieve slightly better perfor-
mance.
■
Initiate Wide Negotiation
—This option determines whether
the SCSI channel controlled by the ARO-1130CA attempts
16-bit data transfer instead of 8-bit data transfer. The default
setting is Yes. (The effective data transfer rate is doubled when
16-bit data transfer is used. For example, a transfer rate of
10 MBytes/sec becomes 20 MBytes/sec.)
