The basic host adapter settings are the SCSISelect settings most likely to require modification: Host Adapter SCSI ID - This option sets the host adapter's SCSI identification (ID). The default setting is SCSI ID 7, which allows the host adapter to support narrow SCSI devices in addition to wide SCSI devices. Dell recommends that you leave the host adapter set to SCSI ID 7. SCSI Parity Checking - This option determines whether the host adapter verifies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. The default setting is Enabled. You should disable SCSI Parity Checking if any SCSI device connected to the host adapter does not support SCSI parity; otherwise, leave it enabled. Most SCSI devices support SCSI parity. If you are unsure if a device supports SCSI parity, consult the documentation for the device. Host Adapter SCSI Termination - This option sets termination on the host adapter. The default setting for the Adaptec AIC-7860 host adapters is Enabled; the default setting for the AIC-7890 host adapter is Automatic. Dell recommends that you leave this option set to the default. 3-4 Dell PowerEdge 2300 Systems User's Guide

The basic host adapter settings are the SCSI
Select
settings most likely to require
modification:
²
Host Adapter SCSI ID — This option sets the host adapter’s SCSI identification
(ID). The default setting is SCSI ID 7, which allows the host adapter to support
narrow SCSI devices in addition to wide SCSI devices. Dell recommends that you
leave the host adapter set to SCSI ID 7.
²
SCSI Parity Checking — This option determines whether the host adapter verifies
the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. The default setting is Enabled. You
should disable SCSI Parity Checking if any SCSI device connected to the host
adapter does not support SCSI parity; otherwise, leave it enabled. Most SCSI
devices support SCSI parity. If you are unsure if a device supports SCSI parity,
consult the documentation for the device.
²
Host Adapter SCSI Termination — This option sets termination on the host
adapter. The default setting for the Adaptec AIC-7860 host adapters is Enabled;
the default setting for the AIC-7890 host adapter is Automatic. Dell recommends
that you leave this option set to the default.
