LSI Logic Adapter, and should be reserved for advanced users who fully understand the implications of such changes.

The LSI Logic firmware supports several configuration options, defined individually in Section 3.4.1, “Adjusting Link Speed,”and Section 3.4.2,

“Adjusting Interrupt Coalescing.These” options may be configured using the MPTUtil utility menu, as described in the subsection entitled “Running the MPTUtil Program”.

3.4.1Adjusting Link Speed

The link speed of the LSI Logic host adapters is configurable. By default, the link speed is set to Auto. This means the host adapter automatically detects the link speed of all other nodes on the link and automatically adjusts itself to work with those nodes. If this automatic operation fails (for example, other nodes on a loop do not support AutoNegotiation), the LSI Logic host adapters may be configured specifically to either the 2 Gbit/s or 1 Gbit/s speed.

Note: The LSI7202XP-LC, LSI7202EP-LC, and LSI7202EP each have two FC ports and the LSI7402XP-LC, LSI7402XP-LC, and LSI7402XP-LC each have four FC ports, so the link speed must be configured for each port. The LSI7102XP-LC has only one port.

Configure the link speed of the host adapter by following these steps:

Step 1. To set the link speed of the host adapter, execute this command from the DOS command line:

A:\ MPTutil

The MPTUtil program identifies all LSI Logic host adapters in the system, and allows you to select which adapter to update (Figure 3.4).

Step 2. The MPTUtil program displays a menu of options. (Figure 3.5).

To change the link speed on the LSI7202XP-LC Port 0 (lower port, near the PCI connector), select the following menu option:

f - Toggle Board Speed on Function 0

To change the link speed on the LSI7202XP-LC Port 1 (upper port from the PCI connector), select the following menu option:
