Using SCSI-1 Devices

The QLA12160 board is configured at the factory with default parameters that provide maximum performance. When the board is operating at maximum performance, it may not be 100% compatible with some older SCSI-1 devices.

If the SCSI-1 device attached to the QLA12160 board is not functioning correctly, you can turn off some high-performance parameters for maximum compatibility. Follow these steps:

1.When you power up the system, press CTRL+Q to access Fast!UTIL.
