SCSI Bus Interface Definitions

The basic host adapter settings are the SCSISelect settings most likely to require modification:

l

Host Adapter SCSI ID

— Sets the host adapter's SCSI ID. The default is 7, which allows the host adapter to support narrow SCSI devices

in addition to wide SCSI devices. Dell recommends that you leave the host adapter set to 7.

l

SCSI Parity Checking

— Determines whether the host adapter verifies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. The default is

Enabled. You should disable SCSI Parity Checking if any SCSI device connected to the host adapter does not support SCSI parity;
otherwise, leave it enabled. Most SCSI devices support SCSI parity. If you are unsure if a device supports SCSI parity, consult the
documentation for the device.

l

Host Adapter SCSI Termination

— Sets termination on the host adapter. The default for the Adaptec AIC-7880 and AIC-7899 host

adapters is Enabled. Dell recommends that you leave this option set to the default.
