Storage Manager on ROM Transfer Rate (SCSI only) The controller automatically negotiates with each device at powerup or reset to set the maximum transfer rate. This parameter limits the transfer rate to the value selected. This setting should not be changed except when you are troubleshooting bus errors. Note: On buses, if setting this parameter to 5 MHz eliminates bus data errors, this is usually an indication that the bus is too long or that the bus is not terminated correctly. Termination (SCSI only) This option controls the termination for the controller and bus. The default value (Auto) should not be changed unless both internal and external cables are attached to the controller or you are using an 8-bit (Narrow) cable. Refer to the Configuring Termination section in the Adaptec RAID Installation Guide for information on setting this parameter. TERMPWR (SCSI only) By default RAID controllers supply termination power for other devices through the TERMPWR line on the cable. 2-19

Transfer Rate (SCSI only)
The controller automatically negotiates with each device at power-
up or reset to set the maximum transfer rate. This parameter limits
the transfer rate to the value selected. This setting should not be
changed except when you are troubleshooting bus errors.
Note:
On buses, if setting this parameter to 5 MHz eliminates
bus data errors, this is usually an indication that the bus is
too long or that the bus is not terminated correctly.
Termination (SCSI only)
This option controls the termination for the controller and bus. The
default value (
Auto
) should not be changed unless both internal and
external cables are attached to the controller or you are using an
8-bit (Narrow) cable. Refer to the
Configuring Termination
section in
the
Adaptec RAID Installation Guide
for information on setting this
parameter.
TERMPWR (SCSI only)
By default RAID controllers supply termination power for other
devices through the TERMPWR line on the cable.
