Configuring the SCSI Channels

This function allows the user to change the configuration options for each SCSI channel.

Bus Speed - The maximum speed the controller will attempt to negotiate.

160MB/sec - Default setting (DT clocking)
80MB/sec - (ST clocking)
40MB/sec - (ST clocking)

NOTE:

To avoid disk channel problems, make sure the bus speed matches the speed of the

drives installed.

SCSI ID assigned to each channel (initiator ID) - The controller assigns each of its SCSI

channels a SCSI ID (initiator ID), leaving 15 SCSI IDs available for devices. The user can change

the SCSI ID assigned to each channel to any number between 0-15.

Domain Validation - The user can enable this function to ensure that the system is running

at Ultra160 speed (this function checks for disk channel hardware and cable problems). Some

drives do not support this function, resulting in false errors (disable this function if the drives

do not support this function).

To configure the SCSI channels:

1.

Select Configuration Menu from the System Menu and press Enter.
The Configuration Menu should now display (Figure 38).

2.

Select Channel Configuration and press Enter.
The Channel Configuration screen should now display (Figure 62).
