Configuring the SCSI Bus It is strongly recommended that you switch the Maximum Sync Transfer Rate to 20 MB per second when connecting an external SCSI device. • Enable Disconnection To optimize SCSI bus performance, Enable Disconnection should be set to Yes. • Initiate Wide Negotiation This option determines whether the SCSI channel attempts 16-bit data transfer instead of 8-bit data transfer. • Send Start Unit Command When set to Yes this option reduces the load on your computer's power supply by allowing the interface to power-up SCSI devices one-at-a-time when you start your computer. This option is not supported by some SCSI devices. Some SCSI devices require a jumper to be changed before they can respond to this command. • BIOS Multiple LUN Support More advanced SCSI devices can have several logical units (LUN). This option determines whether booting a SCSI device that has multiple LUNs is supported. Set this option to Yes if your boot device has multiple LUNs. It is set to no by default. • Include in BIOS Scan This setting, when set to Yes, allows the SCSI device to be controlled by the host adapter with this SCSI ID. When set to No, the adapter does not control the SCSI device. English 5

Configuring the SCSI Bus
It is strongly recommended that you switch the Maximum Sync
Transfer Rate to 20 MB per second when connecting an external
SCSI device.
Enable Disconnection
To optimize SCSI bus performance, Enable Disconnection should be
set to
Yes
.
Initiate Wide Negotiation
This option determines whether the SCSI channel attempts 16-bit
data transfer instead of 8-bit data transfer.
Send Start Unit Command
When set to
Yes
this option reduces the load on your computer’s
power supply by allowing the interface to power-up SCSI devices
one-at-a-time when you start your computer.
This option is not supported by some SCSI devices. Some SCSI
devices require a jumper to be changed before they can respond to
this command.
BIOS Multiple LUN Support
More advanced SCSI devices can have several logical units (LUN).
This option determines whether booting a SCSI device that has
multiple LUNs is supported. Set this option to
Yes
if your boot device
has multiple LUNs. It is set to no by default.
Include in BIOS Scan
This setting, when set to
Yes
, allows the SCSI device to be controlled
by the host adapter with this SCSI ID. When set to
No
, the adapter
does not control the SCSI device.
