To specify a certain host adapter, append Device with the number of the host
adapter. For example, type Device0 for the first host adapter, Device1 for the
second, etc. If you omit the host adapter number, the configuration information
applies to all Ultra3 host adapters.

Select Add Value from the Edit menu. In the Value Name edit box, enter one of
the valid parameter values. Make sure to enter the appropriate data type for the
value. To enter additional values, repeat

through
Step 9
.
Using Driver-specific Parameters
Follow the instructions below to enter the registry values that affect the
configuration information for SCSI PCI device drivers. Each driver has its own key
reference in the registry. In this example, the Ultra160 key is used (adpu160m). The
other keys are aic78xx, aic78u2, adf6u160, and 2930u2. All SCSI host adapters
supported by the modified key are affected by the values you enter here. A list of valid
parameters follows:
±
/MAXTAGS=
nnn
specifies the tagged command queue depth. If a number is
not specified, the tagged queue depth defaults to 128. Valid values are 1-255.
The data type for this value is REG_SZ.
±
/MEMMAP
when set, the SCSI manager is memory mapped. If this key is not
used, the default is I/O mapped. There are no
valid values
or
default values
. The
data type for this value is REG_SZ.
±
/BUS_FAIRNESS
when set, the SCSI bus avoids device starvation. There are
no
valid values
or
default values.
The data type for this value is REG_SZ.
To enter driver-specific parameters, follow these steps:
1.
Select Run from the Start button.
NOTE
Changes made with the Registry Editor do not take effect until
you restart your system.
NOTE
The following parameters are case-sensitive and must be
entered exactly as shown. When entering multiple parameters,
each parameter must be separated by a space.
