Configure/View Host Adapter Settings Screen

The SCSI bus interface definitions displayed on this screen are described in the following pages. For additional options, you may:

Select Boot Device Options to display and/or change boot device settings.

Select SCSI Device Configuration to display and/or change the individual settings for the devices attached to the host adapter.

Select Advanced Configuration Options to display and/or change the advanced configuration settings for the host adapter.

Host Adapter SCSI ID

Each device on the SCSI bus, including the adapter, must have a unique SCSI ID. Allowable IDs are 0 through 7 on 8-bit adapters, and 0 through 15 on 16-bit adapters.

The SCSI ID serves two purposes:

1)It uniquely defines each SCSI device on the bus.

2)It determines which device controls the bus when two or more devices try to use the bus at the same time. For 8-bit devices, SCSI ID 7 has the highest

C-4
