Configuration Settings

Safe. All optimal configuration settings are disabled and all attached devices work in minimal configuration (narrow, asynchronous mode).

NOTE: Safe mode is primarily for troubleshooting SCSI devices that are not functioning properly during normal system operation.

Drivers Load RISC Code. When this setting is Enabled, the QLA12160 board uses the RISC firmware that is embedded in the software driver. When this setting is Disabled, the software driver loads the latest version of RISC firmware found on the system. The default is Enabled.

NOTE: The driver being loaded must support this setting; otherwise, the result is the same as Disabled regardless of the setting. Leaving this option Enabled guarantees a certified combination of software driver and RISC firmware.

>4 Gbyte Addressing. Enable this setting when your system has more than 4 GB of RAM available. The default is Disabled.

Fast Command Posting. When this setting is Enabled, command execution time is decreased by minimizing the number of interrupts. The default is Enabled.

SCSI Device Settings

After changing the host adapter settings for the QLA12160 board, you can modify device parameters for SCSI devices connected to the board. From the Configuration Settings menu in Fast!UTIL, select SCSI Device Settings. The settings are linked to the device’s SCSI ID (0–15). If you make changes, be sure that the SCSI ID matches the settings of the device you want to change. Select Scan SCSI Bus from the Fast!UTIL Options menu to see the SCSI IDs assigned on your system (see section A.3).

NOTE: The Adapter Configuration setting in the Host Adapter Settings (see section A.2.1) controls which device settings you can change.

The options and defaults for SCSI device settings are listed in table A-2and described in the following paragraphs.
