Checking SCSI Bus Compatibility

Setting Transfer Rates

To use the SCSI command to set the SCSI transfer rate for an adapter, follow this syntax:

SCSI rate bus_number slot_number rate

where

 

 

 

bus_number

Specifies the number of the bus the adapter is installed

 

on.

 

 

slot_number

Specifies the number of the slot the adapter is in.

rate

Specifies the adapter’s transfer rate:

 

0 (no limit)

 

10

(Fast SCSI)

 

20

(Ultra SCSI)

For example, to set the SCSI transfer rate for the adapter installed on bus 5 slot 2 to Fast SCSI and then display the results, issue these commands:

SCSI rate 5 2 10

SCSI rate 5 2

The output (of the second command) could look something like this:

PCI device /5.2 = fast SCSI
