connected to the other connector. Use this setting for the QLA12160 board’s port two (J2) when the port two connector is not at one end of the SCSI bus and you have narrow devices at one end of the bus and wide devices at the other end.

Autoconfigure SCSI Devices

NOTE: You must set the Adapter Configuration setting in Host Adapter Settings to Manual (see section A.2.1) to use Autoconfigure; otherwise, all changes made with Autoconfigure are reset when your system is rebooted.

The QLA12160 board is designed to sense and configure the devices connected to your board. When Adapter Configuration is set to Manual, the Autoconfigure option allows you to control when the bus is scanned and configured. Select the Autoconfigure SCSI Devices option from the Configuration Settings menu to scan devices on the SCSI bus. Set the following options, based on the capabilities of each device:

Disconnects

Enable LUN Support

Enable PPR

Enable Device

Negotiate Wide

Negotiate Synchronous

Tagged Queuing

Sync Period

The settings are displayed in the SCSI Device Settings window. Use the arrow keys to change settings. See section A.2.2 for more information about SCSI Device Settings and see section A.2.1 for Host Adapter Settings.

If you use Autoconfigure to configure your system, run Fast!UTIL and select Autoconfigure SCSI Devices after adding or reconfiguring devices attached to the QLA12160 board.

A.2.5

Selectable Boot Settings

The Selectable Boot Settings option is accessed from the Configuration Settings menu. When this option is Enabled, you can select the SCSI ID (0–15) from which you want to boot. Once enabled, this option forces the system to boot on the selected SCSI drive, ignoring any IDE drives attached to your system. When this option is Disabled, the system looks for an IDE drive from which to boot. When an IDE drive is not found, the system looks for the first bootable SCSI drive. When this option is disabled, SCSI Boot ID and SCSI Boot LUN parameters have no effect.

NOTE: This option applies only to disk devices, not to CD-ROMs, tape drives, or other nondisk devices.
