Figure 7-3: Auto-Detect Error

For more information regarding the settings appropriate for your
application, please consult your fibre channel administrator.

Important:

Saving changes made from this menu causes the system to reset the
Fibre Channel Controller, which may result in data corruption. Texas

Memory Systems does not recommend changing the controller settings
while the controller is actually transferring data.

Note:

Some HBAs do not support direct attach point-to-point operation. If you

are having trouble with a direct attach connection in point-to-point mode,
try changing the controller to arbitrated loop mode. This topology should

not noticeably affect the performance, and some HBAs may only support
this mode.
