Configuring the System Board

SCSI Feature

SCSI Feature

The system board features a single-chip Fast and Wide SCSI-2 host adapter that adds SCSI I/O capability to the system.

The chipset consists of all the components found on the state-of-the-art SCSI host adapters such as the following:

Onboard microcontroller

Bus master interface controller

SCSI controller

The chipset allows transfers at a full 20 MB/second burst transfer rate.

To use the feature, install any SCSI device in your system and connect it to the SCSI interface on the system board. (See Figure 2-1 for the location.) Then, enter the BIOS utility to set the PCI slot parameters. See Chapter 4, “Using the BIOS Setup Utility”, for details in setting the parameters. Refer to the SCSI manual for more information on using SCSI.

Note: Onboard terminators (RP12, RP13, and RP14) must be removed when using wide drives. Ensure that terminators are on when only narrow drives are used.
