Configuring SCSI Devices
When configuring devices for Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S
controllers, you may need to:
Decide how to position drives on the SCSI channel.
Select cables.
Provide adapters for devices that need them.
Configure termination on devices that offer termination, as
required.
Set the controller for starting or booting the system.
Set the SCSI IDs.
In general, drives used in a RAID configuration should be as alike
as possible in terms of capacity and performance.
