Appendix C: Using Advanced Configuration Parameters
●

The following is a table of supported Windows Registry Settings.
Using Windows SCSI Parameters
Follow the instructions below to enter the registry values that affect how the Windows SCSI
manager interprets the generic configuration information of SCSI device drivers. Each driver
has its own key reference in the Registry. In these instructions, the Ultra320 key is used
(adpu320). All SCSI cards supported by the modified key are affected by the values you enter
here. A list of valid values follows:
Note:
The following value keys are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as shown.
●
MaximumLogicalUnit
—This can limit the scan for connected devices on the SCSI bus.
Valid values are 0 to 32. If 1 is specified, the Windows SCSI manager assumes that no SCSI
targets support LUNs other than LUN 0. Otherwise, LUNs from 0 to 31 are scanned during
system initialization. The data type for this value is REG_DWORD.
●
MaximumSGList
—Specifies the maximum number of Scatter/Gather elements. Valid
values are 2-255. The data type for this value is REG_DWORD.
●
NumberOfRequests
—specifies the maximum number of commands that can be delivered
to an SCSI card. Valid values are 16-255. The data type for this value is REG_DWORD.
To enter Windows parameters:
