IMPORTANT!

If the drives are configured as “Delay Motor Spin-up” or “Motor Spin-up in Random Sequence,” some of these drives may not be ready at the moment when the controller accesses them when powered up. Increase the disk access delay time so that the controller will wait a longer time for the drives to be ready.

SCSI Reset at Power-Up

By default, when the controller is powered up, it will send a SCSI bus reset command to the SCSI bus. When disabled, it will not send a SCSI bus reset command on the next power-up.

When connecting more than one host computer to the same SCSI bus, the SCSI bus reset will interrupt all the read/write requests that are being delivered. This may cause some operating systems or host computers to act abnormally. Disable the “SCSI Reset at Power-up” to avoid this situation.

Choose “SCSI Reset at Power-Up”, then press [ENTER]. Choose Yes in the dialog box that follows to confirm the setting.
