3.9 U320 SCSI Target Config
Arbitration allows one SCSI device to gain control of the SCSI bus to allow that SCSI device to
initiate or resume a task. There are two methods that a SCSI device may use to arbitrate for the
SCSI bus: normal arbitration and QAS. Normal arbitration is mandatory and requires the
detection of a BUS FREE phase on the SCSI bus before starting. QAS is optional and, when
enabled, requires the initiation and detection of a QAS REQUEST message before starting.
3.10 Ethernet Configuration
Use this option to set the freeStor Xpand 1500C’s Ethernet port configuration.
3.10.1 DHCP Function
The DHCP Function option (Figure 3-33) allows you to configure the freeStor Xpand 1500C to
retrieve an IP address from a DHCP server (dynamic IP address) or to set one manually (static
IP address). If you have a DHCP server on your network, and the disk array is on the same
network as the DHCP server, and you wish the disk array to retrieve an IP address from the
DHCP server, set this to Enabled. Otherwise, set it to Disabled and give the unit a static IP
address.
