Enable ROM Drivers
When Enable ROM Drivers is enabled, the E100 uses the disk driver in
its ROM—a faster, more efficient driver than the disk-based driver—for
all disks initialized with HDT and RAID Toolkit. At startup, the com-
puter uses a native PowerPC driver from the ROM instead of the driver
on the disk, which speeds up the startup process. The native PowerPC
driver also accelerates overall performance. The recommend option is
Enabled.
Note: Disable this option only if you are having difficulty mounting a
disk array.
Software Termination
The E100 is designed to automatically provide proper termination on
its part of the SCSI bus whenever needed. There may be times when
you want to control termination on the card.
Using the Custom Termination Dialog Box
The Custom Termination dialog box contains features that allow man-
ual control of termination on the E100 card and a text box that
explains what the E100 senses and provides. Next to each SCSI port in
the dialog box illustration, a pop-up menu lists the termination
options and a text box describes what each port senses. This section is
recommended only for advanced users.
Below the illustration a text box explains the termination status, what
the card senses, and what manual settings have been made.
Note: Custom termination settings always override the automatic ter-
mination settings that the card would use (unless you try to specify
an illegal setting). Use Custom termination settings with caution:
Incorrect termination will result in lost data.
To change the E100 termination via the control panel:
1.
Choose Control Panels from the Apple Menu.
2.
Select E100 SCSI from the Control Panels menu.
The E100 SCSI Control Panel appears.
