Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 with SCSISelect Using SCSISelect Settings To select an option, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the option, then press Enter. In some cases, selecting an option displays another menu. You can return to the previous menu at any time by pressing Esc. To restore the original SCSISelect default values, press F6 from the main SCSISelect screen. SCSI Bus Interface Definitions s Host Adapter SCSI ID-(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI card. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 is set at 7, which gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend that you do not change this setting. s SCSI Parity Checking-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, verifies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Leave this setting enabled unless any SCSI device connected to the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 does not support SCSI parity. s Host Adapter SCSI Termination-(Default: Automatic) Determines the termination setting for the SCSI card. The default setting is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the termination as needed. We recommend that you do not change this setting. Boot Device Options s Boot Channel-(Default: A First) Specifies which of the two SCSI channels the boot device is connected to (if the computer boots from a SCSI device). If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels. s Boot SCSI ID-(Default: 0) Specifies the SCSI ID of your boot device. We recommend that you do not change the default setting. If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels. s Boot LUN Number-(Default: 0) Specifies which LUN (Logical Unit Number) to boot from on your boot device. This setting is not valid unless Multiple LUN Support is enabled (see Advanced Configuration Options on page 21). If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels. 19

SCSI Bus Interface Definitions
Host Adapter SCSI ID
—(Default:
7
) Sets the SCSI ID for the
SCSI card. The Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 is set at
7
, which
gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend
that you do not change this setting.
SCSI Parity Checking
—(Default:
Enabled
) When set to
Enabled
, verifies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus.
Leave this setting enabled unless any SCSI device connected to
the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 does not support SCSI parity.
Host Adapter SCSI Termination
—(Default:
Automatic
) Deter-
mines the termination setting for the SCSI card. The default
setting is
Automatic,
which allows the SCSI card to adjust the
termination as needed. We recommend that you do not change
this setting.
Boot Device Options
Boot Channel
—(Default:
A First
) Specifies which of the two
SCSI channels the boot device is connected to (if the computer
boots from a SCSI device). If you change this setting, the
change automatically applies to both SCSI channels.
Boot SCSI ID
—(Default:
0
) Specifies the SCSI ID of your boot
device. We recommend that you do not change the default
setting. If you change this setting, the change automatically
applies to both SCSI channels.
Boot LUN Number
—(Default:
0
) Specifies which LUN (Logi-
cal Unit Number) to boot from on your boot device. This set-
ting is not valid unless Multiple LUN Support is enabled (see
Advanced Configuration Options
on page 21). If you change this
setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI
channels.
