Configuring the SCSI Bus
Host SCSI ID
In general it is not advisable to change your host adapter ID from the
default value of 7, as this gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.
However, if you have two adapters sharing the same SCSI devices, you
should give one of the adapters a currently-unassigned ID to avoid
duplication of SCSI IDs.
Scan Order
This option lets you tell the host adapter BIOS and your device drivers
to scan the SCSI bus from low to high (0 to max) SCSI ID, or from high
to low (max to 0) SCSI ID. If you have more than one device on a SCSI
bus, changing the device order changes the drive letters which are
assigned to them by the system. This will change the boot order.
Removable Media
Support
Only used when removable disk drives are installed. For more
information, refer to the
User’s Guide
that came with you removable
disk drive.
CHS Mapping
This option defines the cylinder head sector (CHS) values that are
mapped onto an un-partitioned disk.
SCSI Plug and Play Mapping
is the default setting.
For full compatibility with other SCSI adapters CHS mapping should be
set to
Alternate CHS Mapping
.
NOTE
The
SCSI Plug and Play Mapping
and
Alternate CHS Mapping
options will not work if the hard disk has been partitioned using
FDISK
.
To remove partitioning reformat your hard disk using either the
Format Disk
option or the
FDISK
/MBR
command at a DOS
prompt.
To complete the reformat, you will need to restart your PC
Workstation.
