3.1When to Configure the LSIU80ALVD

In most cases you should not need to change the default configuration of the host adapter. You may decide to alter these default values if there is a conflict between device settings, or if you need to optimize system performance.

Table 3.1 and Table 3.2 list the configuration settings you can change. The global settings affect the host adapter and all SCSI devices that are connected to it. The device settings affect only individual SCSI devices.
