3.1 When to Configure the LSIU80ALVD
In most cases you should not need to change the default configuration
of the 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.
Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 list the configuration settings you can change.
The global settings affect the host adapter and all SCSI devices that are
connected to it. The device settings affect only individual SCSI devices.
