Host Adapter Setup
Spin Up Disk Drive. This option is used to initiate motor spin-up for SCSI disk drives.
The host adapter BIOS can limit system power requirements during power-up. This is
accomplished by signaling the device to start at delayed intervals (default setting will be
‘no’).
Enable Disconnect. The host adapter uses this option to allow a device to temporarily
disconnect from the SCSI bus (referred to as disconnect/reconnect). This allows the
host adapter to perform other functions on the bus while the device is temporarily
disconnected. The device and the host adapter can then reconnect when the bus is
needed (default setting will be ‘yes’).
Enable Wide Negotiation (INI-9200UW and INI-9400UW only). This option determines whether the host adapter initiates wide data transfer with the specified SCSI device.
However, not all SCSI devices can handle wide data transfer properly and this may cause
problems with your system. If problems arise from wide SCSI negotiation, disable this
option. The normal setting for this option is enabled (default setting will be ‘yes’).
Adapter Setup
Host Adapter SCSI Bus ID. Used to change the adapter’s SCSI ID on the SCSI bus. The
UltraSCSI adapters provide eight ID’s per channel with 0-7 availiable (7 having the
highest priority). The Ultra Wide SCSI provide 16 ID’s per channel with 0-15 availiable (7
having the highest priority).
Installation of additional host adapters is permitted on the same PCI bus. This will allow
the system to have more than one SCSI bus attached. Under these conditions, SCSI
ID’s can be repeated.
Boot Device ID. This option selects which SCSI device will be the designated boot
device for the system. The default ID for this option is 0.
SCSI Terminators. This option is used to set auto-termination located on the host
adapter card. This option is also used to manually control termination on the host
adapter. The normal setting for this option is auto.
SCSI Parity Check ON. Select this option to enable or disable parity checking on the
SCSI bus by the host adapter. The default setting for this option is on (yes).
NOTE: If this option is set ON, be certain that the peripheral SCSI device also has this
option turned ON.
