Enable Wide Negotiation INI-9100UW ONLY. This option determines whether the host adapter initiates wide data transfer with the specified SCSI device. However, not all SCSI devices can handle wide data transfer properly and this may cause problems with your system. If problems arise from wide SCSI negotiation, disable this option. The normal setting for this option is enabled yes
