Installing the A6828A Adapter

Specifying SCSI Parameters

NOTE

As stated earlier, HP recommends you to always use the A6828A’s

 

maximum bus width (16 bits), unless you have Narrow (8-bit) devices on

 

the bus and you are experiencing problems with the connection.

 

 

If you decrease the maximum bus width value (16 bits) when the transfer rate (MT/sec) is set to 80 or 160, the following message is displayed:

Data Width cannot be set to narrow when MT/Sec is set to 80 or 160.

Press any key to continue.

 

 

If you want to decrease the maximum bus width value of a particular

 

 

device, first set the transfer rate (MT/sec) to a lower value, and then

 

 

decrease the corresponding bus width value.
