The assigned value is Automatic, and cannot be changed. - Boot Device Options Select this choice to configure startable-device parameters. Before you can make updates, you must know the ID of the device whose parameters you want to configure. - SCSI Device Configuration Select this choice to configure SCSI-device parameters. Before you can make updates, you must know the ID of the device whose parameters you want to configure. Note: The Maximum Sync Transfer Rate is the transfer rate for Ultra SCSI devices. - The transfer rate for Ultra160 low voltage differential (LVD) devices is 160.0 MBps. - The transfer rate for Ultra2 SCSI LVD devices is 80.0 MBps. - The transfer rate for Fast SCSI devices is 20.0 MBps. - Advanced Configuration Options Select this choice to view or change the settings for advanced configuration options. These options include support for large hard disk drives and support for drives with Ultra SCSI speeds. • SCSI Disk Utilities Select this choice to view the SCSI IDs that are assigned to each device or to format a SCSI device. To use the utility program, select a drive from the list. Read the on-screen instructions carefully before making a selection. Note: If you press Ctrl+A before the selected drives are ready, an Unexpected SCSI Command Failure screen might appear. Restart the server and watch the SCSISelect messages as each drive starts.
