SCSI Utilities

SCSI Utilities allow you to set delay times for the SCSI hard disk spin-up and to set
SCSI IDs for SCSI controllers installed in the system.

Using the Harddrive Spin Up Delay option allows you to change the spin up delay
time for SCSI hard disk drives attached to your system. Spin up delay values can be
entered manually, or you can use a default setting (two seconds). All values are
measured in seconds.

Attention: Setting the value lower than the default can prevent successful booting
because the system power handling capabilities might be exceeded. If the system
no longer boots after setting this value, access this utility again and increase the
value. It is also possible that adding disk drives can cause similar symptoms.
Changing this value changes the surge current requirements on the system. As you
increase the value, the surge current requirements on the system are decreased.
