Option Description
Termination
Enabled/Disabled
When set to enabled, the PERC 3 controller is
terminated. When set to disabled, it is not terminated.
Normally, you do not need to change this setting; PERC 3
automatically sets this option.
SCSI Transfer Rate Used to select the SCSI transfer rate. The options are
Fast, Ultra, Ultra-2, and 160M.
NOTE: The disk transfer rate is set for each disk,
while the SCSI channel transfer rate controls the
speed of the bus. No matter how fast you set the disk
transfer rate, the speed depends on the SCSI
channel transfer rate.
