4.3.2.7

Using the Synchronous SCSI Option

Syntax:

synchronous=

or

sync=

or

sync=

or

speed=

Default value: Maximum of the HBA

Examples of rate specifier are:
0 MB or 10 MB (megabytes per second)
20 MT or 40 MT (mega transfers per second)

Valid entries:

0 =

asynchronous

5 =

5 mt/sec

10 =

10 mt/sec

20 =

20 mt/sec

40 =

40 mt/sec

80 =

80 mt/sec

160 =

160 mt/sec

OFF =

asynchronous

ASYNC =

asynchronous

MAX =

Adapter maximum rate

Function: Sets synchronous transfer rate for specified target(s).

Possible Impact: Could cause a device to operate slower than its
maximum speed.

This synchronous SCSI option allows you to enable/disable support of
Fast, Ultra, Ultra2, Ultra160 and Ultra320 SCSI synchronous data
transfers when using a Fast, Ultra, Ultra2, Ultra160, or Ultra320 SCSI
controller. Synchronous data transfers increase the I/O performance of a
system.

4.3.2.8

Using the Verbose Option

Syntax:

verbose=

Default value: off

Valid entries: on, off

Function: Displays more detailed information on options and DOS
configuration.
