3.1 When to Configure the SYM22801 Host Adapter
In most cases you should not need to change the default configuration
of your host adapter. You may decide to alter these default values if there
is a conflict between device settings, or if you need to optimize system
performance.
The following tables list the configuration settings you can change. The
global settings affect your host adapter and all SCSI devices which are
connected to it. The device settings affect only individual SCSI devices.
