(Command Lines)
For example, to turn off parity checking on the first host adapter (boot order desig-
nation = 0), the line in your CONFIG.SYS file that loads ASPI8XX.SYS should
look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]ASPI8XX.SYS /PARITY=OFF<0>
Using the /EXCLUDE (or /X) Option
This option allows you to exclude support for an adapter that does not currently
have BIOS support. You may not exclude an adapter that is supported (included) by
the BIOS when you boot your system. This option has three required parameters:
a. PCI Device ID
b. PCI Bus Number
c. PCI Device/Function Number
These parameters identify the specific adapter you want to exclude. To obtain these
parameters, boot your system using the /VERBOSE command line option (explained
later in this section). The parameters for the adapter or path you wish to exclude will
display on your monitor. Option Syntax:
/EXCLUDE[,]*
For example, if you found the adapter you wish to exclude to have PCI Device ID 3,
PCI Bus Number 0, and PCI Device/Function Number 68, then the line in your
CONFIG.SYS file that loads ASPI8XX.SYS should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]ASPI8XX.SYS /EXCLUDE<3:0:68>
Using the /HOST_ID (or /ID) Option
This option lets you alter the SCSI ID for a host adapter. On an 8-bit adapter, the
SCSI IDs are 0-7. On a 16-bit adapter, the SCSI IDs are 0-15 (it is suggested that IDs
8-15 are not used for your adapter). This option will not allow you to select a SCSI
ID already in use.
NOTE: You are not allowed to change the SCSI ID of any adapter currently
supported by the BIOS.
Option Syntax: /HOST_ID=n[,n]*
For example, to change the SCSI ID of your second host adapter (path=1) to ID=6
(providing that adapter is not controlled by the BIOS), the line in your CONFIG.SYS
file that loads ASPI8XX.SYS should look like this:
DEVICE=C:[PATH]ASPI8XX.SYS /HOST_ID=6<1>
