3-12 Configuring the LSIU40HVD
Here is an example of this menu:
Figure 3.8 Device Selections Menu (Cont.)
Please review the descriptions of each option below before changing any
values.
Sync Rate (MBytes/sec) – This option defines the maximum data
transfer rate the host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter
and a SCSI device must agree to a rate they can both handle.
Width (bits) – This option defines the maximum SCSI data width the
host adapter will attempt to negotiate. The host adapter and a SCSI
device must agree to a width they can both handle. Only chips that can
do 16-bit data transfers have this option enabled.
Disconnect – SCSI devices have the ability to disconnect from the
initiator during an I/O transfer. This disconnect option frees the SCSI Bus
to allow other I/O processes. Additionally, it tells the host adapter whether
or not to allow a device to disconnect. Some devices run faster with
disconnects enabled (mostly newer devices), while some run faster with
disconnects disabled (mostly older devices).
