Cable termination

Host adapter auto-termination is software controlled by the
SmartSCSI

Setup Utility. Auto-termination is enabled by

default during power-up. Recall that first and last physical SCSI
device on the SCSI bus must be terminated.

Refer to the specific peripheral manufacturers users manual for
proper SCSI cable termination.

Configuring the host adapter

Host adapter configuration is performed automatically by the host adapter
BIOS during power-up. The factory settings are designed for best
operation. However, the host adapter can be configured to meet your
special operating environment, using the SmartSCSI

Setup Utility

described below.

The INI 9100U/9100UW host adapter includes an on-board configuration
utility called the SmartSCSI

Setup Utility. The utility is accessible

during the system boot routine, after the Initio banner is displayed, by
pressing <Ctrl>+<I> on the host system keyboard. The SmartSCSI

Setup

Utility is resident in the host adapter’s Read Only Memory (ROM). The
purpose of the SmartSCSI

Setup Utility is to customize SCSI/BIOS-

related parameters and perform low level SCSI disk formatting when
required. Once the configuration is established the information is saved in
on-board non-volatile memory which can be modified when necessary in
