Command

Format

The Unit Options command allows you to individually tailor how the RF3880 adapter operates, in either initiator or target mode, with each SCSI device on the bus.

Usually these options need be set only once, at power-up, to create the proper operating environment. Each unit you need to set-up requires a separate Unit Options command.

The Parameter Block for the Unit Options command looks like this:

Description of Fields

Table 74: Unit Options Command Parameter Block

Each of the fields of the Parameter Block are described below:

Command Identifier

This field is used if you are issuing the Unit Options command through the structure of a Command List. It is used to identify the Status block returned from the command. It should be a unique value.

Adapter ID

This command performs no action on a specific SCSI device. It is a Board- control command and so this field must be FFH.

Unit SCSI ID

This field must contain a number from 0 - FH representing a SCSI device on the bus. Do not use the RF3880 adapter SCSI ID you assign with the General Options command.
