Special Drive Configuration Menu Requirements for SCSI Drives
The SCSI PCBA expects certain parameters in the Drive Configuration menu to be
set to particular values. If these values are not correct, unexpected operation of the
drive will result. This section identifies those parameters in the Drive Configuration
menu that affect SCSI operation. Unlisted parameters are transparent to SCSI
operation and may be set as desired.
5.2.1
LOL Enable
The LOL Enable parameter must be set to
YES
if the drive is to respond correctly to
the SCSI Load/Unload command.
5.2.2
Command Disp
You may set the Command Display parameter to either
YES
or
NO
. If you select
YES
,
the drive will display the low-level Pertec command, and not the SCSI bus
command.
5.2.3
HER on Blank
You must set this parameter to
NO
when the SCSI configuration is enabled.
5.2.4
Drive Address
This parameter is not the same as the SCSI ID or the SCSI LUN parameters in the
SCSI Configuration menu and must be set to
0
when SCSI is enabled.
5.2.5
FEN
The FEN parameter must be set to
REQUIRED
for proper operation of the drive.
5.2.6
Density CMD
The Density Command parameter must be set to
YES
if the drive is to respond to the
Density Select field in the Mode Select command.
