scsi activity led connector for each channel 1.2.3 board characteristics ? pci board dimensions, 190 x 96.52 mm (7.50 x 3.80 inches) ? universal 32-bit card edge connector interface descriptions 1-3 1.3 interface descriptions this section provides a more detailed explanation about the pci interface, the scsi interface, and ultra scsi. 1.3.1 the pci interface pci is a high-speed standard local bus for interfacing a number of i/o components to the processor and memory subsystems in a high end pc. the pci functionality for the LSIU40SE is contained within the lsi53c876 pci to ultra scsi i/o processor chip. the lsi53c876 connects directly to the pci bus and generates timing protocol in compliance with the pci local bus speci?ation revision 2.1 standard. the pci interface operates as a 32-bit dma bus master. the connection is made through edge connector j1 (see figure 2.1 ). the signal de?itions and pin numbers conform to the pci local bus speci?ation revision 2.1 standard. the LSIU40SE conforms to the pci universal signaling environment for a 5 v or 3.3 v pci bus. 1.3.2 the scsi interface the scsi functionality for the LSIU40SE is contained within the lsi53c876. the lsi53c876 connects directly to the two scsi buses and generates timing and protocol in compliance with the scsi standard. the scsi interfaces on the LSIU40SE operate as 16-bit, synchronous or asynchronous, se bus, and support ultra scsi protocols and 16-bit arbitration. each interface is made through two of the connectors j2, j3, and j4 (for channel a), or j6, j7, and j8 (for channel b). connectors j2 and j6 are 68-pin high density right-angle receptacles. connectors j3 and j7 are shielded 68-pin vhdci 0.8 mm right-angle receptacles that protrude through the back panel bracket. connectors j4 and j8 are 50-pin low density vertical shrouded pin headers. see figure 2.1 for the location of these connectors. se scsi active termination is provided on the LSIU40SE. termination is automatically enabled when only one of the connectors j2, j3, and, j4 (or j6, j7, and, j8) is used, or when an 8-bit device is connected to the 16-bit j3 or j7 connectors. in the latter case, only the upper 8 data bits are automatically terminated. the LSIU40SE supplies scsi bus 1-4 using the LSIU40SE termpwr through a blocking diode and a self-resetting 1.5 a short circuit protection device. the on-board led lights when termpwr is shorted. separate switches for each channel allow user override of termination. a 40 mhz oscillator is installed on the LSIU40SE to provide the clock frequency to the lsi53c876 that is necessary to support wide ultra scsi transfers of up to 40 mbytes/s. 1.3.3 ultra scsi the LSIU40SE fully supports ultra scsi as well as fast scsi simultaneously. ultra scsi is an extension of the scsi-3 family of standards that expands the bandwidth of the scsi bus, allowing faster synchronous data transfers. special scsi cables are speci?d for operation with ultra scsi devices. you must consider the total number of devices and the length of the scsi bus when setting up your system. see chapter 2, ?nstalling the LSIU40SE, for a more detailed explanation of scsi bus connections. LSIU40SE dual channel pci to ultra scsi host adapter 2-1 chapter 2 installing the LSIU40SE this chapter provides instructions on how to install the LSIU40SE and includes these topics: ? section 2.1, ?uick installation procedure, page 2-1 ? section 2.2, ?etailed installation procedure, page 2-3 ? section 2.3, ?ompleting the installation, page 2-28 2.1 quick installation procedure this section is provided for the experienced computer user with prior host adapter installation and scsi bus setup experience. if you prefer a more detailed guidance in installing the LSIU40SE, please follow the instructions in section 2.2, ?etailed installation procedure. for safe and proper installation, check the user s manual supplied with your computer and perform the following steps. step 1. ground yourself before removing this host adapter board. remove the LSIU40SE from the packing and check that it is not damaged. an example of this host adapter board is shown in figure 2.1 . step 2. switch off and unplug the system. step 3. remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the pci slots. refer to the user s manual for your computer. caution: ground yourself by touching a metal surface before handling boards. static charges on your body can damage electronic components. handle plug-in boards by the edge; do not touch board components or gold connector contacts. the use of a static ground strap is recommended. 2-2 installing the LSIU40SE step 4. locate the slots for pci plug-in board installation. the LSIU40SE requires a pci slot that allows bus master operation. step 5. remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer aligned with the pci slot you intend to use. save the bracket screw. step 6. carefully insert edge connector j1 (see figure 2.1 ) of the host adapter into the pci slot. make sure the edge connector is properly aligned before pressing the board into place. note: you may notice that the components on a pci host adapter face the opposite way from non-pci adapter boards you have in your system. this is correct, and the board is keyed to go in only one way. step 7. the bracket around the connectors j3 and j7 (see figure 2.1 ) should ? where the blank bracket panel was removed. secure the bracket with the bracket screw before making the internal and external scsi bus connections. step 8. if you are connecting any internal scsi devices, plug a 68-pin connector on the end of the internal scsi ribbon cable into connector j2 or j6 for wide scsi, or a 50-pin connector into connector j4 or j8 for normal scsi (see figure 2.1 ). make certain to match pin 1 on both connectors. step 9. connect your computer s led cable if desired. this is designed to drive the front panel led found on most pc cabinets to indicate activity on the scsi bus. step 10. replace the cabinet cover as described in the user s manual for your computer. step 11. make all external scsi bus connections. finally, refer to the pci storage device management system sdms 4.0 user s guide (or the guide for the software that you will use) to load the driver software for your particular operating system. remember : the scsi bus requires proper termination, and no duplicate scsi ids. detailed installation procedure 2-3 2.2 detailed installation procedure this section provides step-by-step instructions for installing the LSIU40SE, and connecting it to your scsi peripherals. if you are experienced in these tasks, you may prefer to use the preceding section 2.1, ?uick installation procedure. if you are not con?ent that you can perform the tasks as described here, lsi logic suggests getting assistance. 2.2.1 before you start before starting, look through the following task list to get an overall idea of the steps to perform. ? open your pc cabinet and select an open pci slot ? insert the host adapter ? connect the internal and external scsi peripherals ? terminate the scsi bus ? set the peripheral scsi ids ? make any con?uration changes ? close your pc cabinet ? install the software the scsi host adapter acts on your computer s behalf as the host to your suite of scsi peripherals. each chain of scsi peripheral devices and their host adapter work together, and are referred to as a scsi bus. each scsi host adapter that you install can access up to 15 peripheral devices per channel. 2-4 installing the LSIU40SE 2.2.2 inserting the host adapter for safe and proper installation, check the user s manual supplied with your computer to perform the following steps. step 1. ground yourself before removing this host adapter board. remove the LSIU40SE from the packing and check that it is not damaged. an example of this host adapter board is shown in figure 2.1 . step 2. switch off and unplug power cords for all components in your system. step 3. remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the pci slots. caution: ground yourself by touching a metal surface before removing the cabinet cover. static charges on your body can damage electronic components. handle plug-in boards by the edge; do not touch board components or gold connector contacts. the use of a static ground strap is recommended. step 4. locate the slots for pci plug-in board installation. refer to the user s manual for your computer to con?m the location of the pci slots. the LSIU40SE requires a pci slot that allows bus master operation. step 5. remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer aligned with the pci slot you intend to use. save the bracket screw. detailed installation procedure 2-5 figure 2.1 hardware connections for the LSIU40SE step 6. carefully insert edge connector j1 (see figure 2.1 ) of the host adapter into the pci slot. make sure the edge connector is properly aligned before pressing the board into place as shown in figure 2.2 . step 7. to plan on hooking up another host adapter on the same bus as this host adapter, or an 8-bit device on 68-pin connector, see section 2.2.10.1, ?hannel switches, discussed later in this chapter. notice that the components on a pci host adapter face the opposite way from non-pci adapter boards you have in your system. this is correct, and the board is keyed to go in only one way. channel b 68-pin internal high density scsi interface channel a 68-pin internal high density scsi interface 68-pin external vhdci scsi interface j3 LSIU40SE pci bus connector on

step 8. the bracket around the connectors j3 and j7 (see figure 2.1 ) should ? where you removed the blank panel. secure it with the bracket screw (see figure 2.2 ) before making the internal and external scsi bus connections. 2.2.3 connecting the scsi peripherals scsi bus connections to the LSIU40SE are made with an unshielded, 68 or 50-conductor ribbon cable (see figure 2.3 ). one side of this cable is marked with a color to indicate the pin-1 side. sometimes the connectors on this cable are keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection. 64-bit slots bracket screw 32-bit slots detailed installation procedure 2-7 all external scsi bus connections to the LSIU40SE are made with shielded, 68-conductor cables (see figure 2.3 ). the connectors on this cable are always keyed to ensure proper pin-1 connection. figure 2.3 scsi cables impor tant: you can connect up to 16 scsi and fast scsi devices, including the host adapter board, on a se scsi bus only if they are at least .3 m apart on a 6-meter cable. for ultra scsi, you can connect up to eight devices, including the host adapter board, on a se ultra scsi bus only if they are evenly spaced on a 1.5-meter ultra scsi cable (0.19 m between devices). you can connect up to four devices if they are evenly spaced on a 3-meter ultra scsi cable (0.75 m between devices). your se scsi bus should not exceed 3 meters (total internal and external cable lengths), scsi cables for internal connections scsi cable for external connections 50-pin high density 68-pin vhdci scsi cable for internal connections 50-pin low density 2-8 installing the LSIU40SE even with fewer than four devices. the LSIU40SE autotermination scheme is designed to operate properly when plugging the end connector of the scsi cables into the LSIU40SE scsi connectors. if you connect the LSIU40SE in the middle of the bus, you will incur improper termination since the switches are not assigned on that bus correctly. refer to section 2.2.10.1, ?hannel switches, for more information. detailed installation procedure 2-9 2.2.4 making internal scsi bus connections this section provides step-by-step instructions about making internal scsi bus connections. step 1. if you are connecting an internal wide scsi device, plug the 68-pin connector on one end of a wide internal scsi ribbon cable into the connector j2 or j6 (see figure 2.4 ). figure 2.4 internal wide scsi ribbon cable to host adapter connection j6 j2 2-10 installing the LSIU40SE step 2. to connect an 8-bit internal scsi device, plug the 50-pin connector on one end of an 8-conductor internal scsi ribbon cable into the connector j4 or j8 (see figure 2.5 ). make certain to match pin 1 on both connectors. figure 2.5 internal scsi ribbon cable to host adapter connection channel b channel a detailed installation procedure 2-11 step 3. plug the 68-pin or 50-pin connector on the other end of the internal scsi ribbon cable into the scsi connector on the internal scsi device. an example of this connection is shown in figure 2.6 . you must match pin 1 on all connections. figure 2.6 internal scsi ribbon cable to internal scsi device connection 2-12 installing the LSIU40SE step 4. additional internal scsi devices are plugged in by using an internal scsi ribbon cable with the required number of connectors attached along its length as shown in figure 2.7 . an example of this type of chained connection is shown in figure 2.8 . make sure to match pin 1 on all connections. figure 2.7 connecting additional internal scsi devices detailed installation procedure 2-13 figure 2.8 multiple internal scsi devices chained together 2-14 installing the LSIU40SE step 5. it is also possible to use both internal connectors on a channel if you do not attach any external devices to that channel. an example of this con?uration is shown in figure 2.9 . figure 2.9 using both internal connectors on a channel note: when two connectors are already used on a channel, the third connector cannot be used. detailed installation procedure 2-15 step 6. most pc cabinets are designed with a front panel led (sometimes already connected to an existing ide drive). you may connect this led cable to the host adapter, as shown in figure 2.10 . this causes the front panel led to indicate activity on the scsi bus. this connector is not keyed. the orientation of the led cable does not matter as long as all four pins are connected. figure 2.10 scsi led connectors some led cables have only two wires. in this case, place the connector on one end or the other of j5 or j9. if the led does not light during scsi bus activity from this host adapter, you may have to rotate the led cable 180 on j5 or j9. 2-16 installing the LSIU40SE 2.2.5 making external scsi bus connections this section provides step-by-step instructions about making external scsi bus connections. step 1. to connect external scsi devices to the LSIU40SE, plug the 68-pin connector on one end of a shielded external scsi vhdci cable (see figure 2.3 ) into the host adapter connector j3 or j7 (see figure 2.1 ). this connector is now bracketed to the back panel of your computer. figure 2.11 shows how this connection is made. figure 2.11 external cable to host adapter detailed installation procedure 2-17 step 2. plug the 68-pin connector on the other end of the shielded external scsi cable into the scsi connector on the external scsi device. an example of this connection is shown in figure 2.12 . figure 2.12 external cable to external scsi device 2-18 installing the LSIU40SE step 3. to connect more than one external scsi device to the host adapter, you must chain them together with shielded external scsi cables. an example of these chained connections is shown in figure 2.13 . figure 2.13 multiple external scsi devices chained together detailed installation procedure 2-19 2.2.6 scsi bus termination the devices making up the scsi bus are connected serially (chained together) with scsi cables. the ?st and last physical scsi devices connected on the ends of the scsi bus must have their terminators active. all other scsi devices on the bus must have their terminators removed or disabled. remember that the LSIU40SE is also on the scsi bus?ts termination is automatically enabled when it is connected to the end of the bus. the peripheral device terminators are usually set with jumpers, resistor modules, or with a switch on the peripheral. refer to the peripheral manufacturer s instructions and to the user s manual for your computer for information on how to identify the terminator setting of each device and how to change it. caution: the autoenable/disable sensing feature on the LSIU40SE may enable termination erroneously if it is directly cabled to another scsi device or host adapter using the same sensing method. this is dealt with by properly setting the termination override switches u1 or u2 (see figure 2.1 ). the LSIU40SE senses scsi devices by detecting the ground signal on pin-22 of a 50-conductor internal scsi ribbon cable, or pin-50 of an internal or external 68-conductor scsi cable. if you use an adapter to connect 8-bit devices externally with a 50-conductor scsi cable, the ground signal is detected on pin-34. the LSIU40SE automatically covers scsi bus termination for ve different bus con?urations, depending on the use of the connectors on the LSIU40SE (see figure 2.1 ). the ?e bus con?urations are: ? only for internal scsi connections, ? only for external scsi connections, ? for both internal and external scsi connections, ? for connections to both internal connectors, and ? for an internal connection to another LSIU40SE, or any connection to a device using the same sensing method for automatic termination as your LSIU40SE. 2-20 installing the LSIU40SE 2.2.7 internal scsi connections if you have only internal scsi device connections to the host adapter, you must terminate the last internal device on the scsi bus. you must disable the termination on all other devices. termination on the host adapter is automatically enabled in this case. figure 2.14 shows an example of how termination is determined for this scsi bus con?uration. figure 2.14 internal scsi device termination detailed installation procedure 2-21 2.2.8 external scsi connections if you have only external scsi device connections to the host adapter, you must terminate the last external device on the scsi bus. you must disable the termination on all other devices. termination on the host adapter is automatically enabled in this case. figure 2.15 shows an example of how termination is determined for this scsi bus con?uration. figure 2.15 external scsi device termination last device on chain - termination enabled does not end chain - termination disabled host adapter automatically terminated 2-22 installing the LSIU40SE 2.2.9 internal and external scsi connections if internal and external scsi device connections to the host adapter have been made, then terminate the last internal and external devices on the scsi bus. you must disable the termination on all other devices. termination on the host adapter is automatically disabled in this case. figure 2.16 shows an example of how termination is determined for this scsi bus con?uration. figure 2.16 internal and external scsi device termination last device on chain - termination enabled does not end chain - termination disabled last device on chain - termination enabled host adapter termination automatically disabled detailed installation procedure 2-23 2.2.10 internal scsi connections for both internal connectors if you have internal scsi device connections to both internal connectors of a channel, you must terminate the internal devices on each end of the scsi bus. you must disable the termination on all other devices. termination on the host adapter is automatically disabled in this case. remember, you must not use the external connector for a channel if you use both internal connectors for that channel. figure 2.17 shows an example of how termination is determined for this scsi bus con?uration. if you connect the LSIU40SE in the middle of the bus, you will incur improper termination since the switches are not assigned on that bus correctly. figure 2.17 internal and internal scsi device termination if you have an internal connection to another LSIU40SE, or any connection to a device that uses the same sensing method for automatic termination as your LSIU40SE, you must properly set the termination override switches u1 or u2 (see figure 2.1 ). does not end chain termination disabled last devices on chain termination enabled host adapter termination automatically disabled 2-24 installing the LSIU40SE 2.2.10.1 channel switches when connecting another LSIU40SE, you must turn on the switch for the connector used on one or both of the boards. please refer to figure 2.18 , and the next two paragraphs, to determine the correct switch setting. four switches for each channel provide cable detection simulation and forced upper line termination. switch one simulates a device on the internal 50-pin connector, switch two simulates a device on the internal 68-pin connector, switch three forces the upper scsi line terminator to stay on, and switch four simulates a device on the external 68-pin connector. when LSIU40SE is in the middle of a bus using only one connector, then switch int68 and ext68 (switches 2 and 4) for that bus are on. this forces the terminators for that bus to be disabled. detailed installation procedure

setting scsi ids you must set each scsi device and the host adapter to a separate scsi id 0 through 15. scsi id 7 is the preset host adapter setting, giving it the highest priority on the scsi bus. if you plan to boot your computer from a scsi hard disk drive on the scsi bus, that drive should have scsi id 0, or the lowest scsi id on the bus. chapter 3, ?on?uring the LSIU40SE, explains how to set your host adapter id using the lsi logic scsi bios con?uration utility. the peripheral device scsi ids are usually set with jumpers or with a switch on the peripheral. refer to the peripheral manufacturer s instructions and to the user s manual for your computer to determine the id of each device and how to change it. you must have no duplication of scsi ids on a scsi bus. step 1. determine the scsi id of each device on the scsi bus. note any duplications and if 8-bit scsi devices are to be used, the host adapter id must not be set above 7. step 2. make any necessary changes to the scsi ids and record the ids for future reference. table 2.1 is provided as a place to keep this record. detailed installation procedure 2-27 2.2.12 setting interrupts you should not normally have to change the default interrupt routing for the LSIU40SE, since performance is usually increased by having two separate interrupts. however, if your system does not support two separate interrupts, jumper tp9 (see figure a.1 on page a-2 ) is provided to change the interrupt routing. table 2.2 explains the jumper settings: table 2.1 scsi id record scsi id scsi device 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7

step 1. replace the cabinet cover on your computer. step 2. plug in all power cords, and switch on power to all devices and your computer. step 3. wait for your computer to boot up. step 4. to change the con?uration of your host adapter, see chapter 3, ?on?uring the LSIU40SE. finally, refer to the pci storage device management system sdms 4.0 user s guide (or the guide for the software you plan to

chapter 3 con?uring the LSIU40SE this chapter describes con?uring the LSIU40SE and includes these topics: ? section 3.1, ?hen to con?ure the LSIU40SE, page 3-1 ? section 3.2, ?tarting the scsi bios con?uration utility, page 3-2 ? section 3.3, ?xiting the scsi bios con?uration utility, page 3-14 3.1 when to con?ure the LSIU40SE in most cases you should not need to change the default con?uration of the host adapter. you may decide to alter these default values if there is a con?ct between device settings, or if you need to optimize system performance. table 3.1 and table 3.2 list the con?uration settings you can change. the global settings affect the host adapter and all scsi devices that are connected to it. the device settings affect only individual scsi devices. table 3.1

after memory initialization during reboot allows you to re-enable and recon?ure. not all devices detected by the con?uration utility can be controlled by the bios. devices such as tape drives and scanners require that a device driver speci? to that peripheral be loaded. the device driver is provided by the device manufacturer. 3.2.1 con?uration utility main menu when you start the lsi logic scsi bios con?uration utility, the main menu appears. this menu displays a list of up to four lsi logic pci to scsi host adapters and information about each of them. the LSIU40SE appears on the menu as two lsi53c875 entries; one for each channel. to select an adapter, use only the arrow keys and enter key. then, you can view and/or change the current settings for that adapter and the scsi devices attached to it. you can select an adapter only if current status is ?n? changes are possible since nvram is present on the host adapter. 3-4 con?uring the LSIU40SE figure 3.1 is an example of the main menu. figure 3.1 main menu below the list of host adapters on the main menu display, you see eight options. they are described in detail below. if these settings are altered, the system will reboot

adapter setup menu appears. figure 3.6 is an example of the adapter setup menu. figure 3.6 adapter setup menu the settings in this menu are global settings that affect the selected host adapter and all scsi devices attached to it. one of these choices can be selected by highlighting it and pressing enter. scam support the lsi logic bios version 4.xx and above supports the scsi plug and play protocol called scam (scsi con?ured automatically). scam support by default is off in adapter bios versions 4.09 and later for the lsi53c876 device. the user may choose to turn this on only if the system drivers do not require scam off. note that if this bios is ?shed onto a board with existing settings, then these settings are not changed to re?ct the new bios defaults. go into the con?uration utility to change these settings. adapter setup scam support off parity enabled host scsi id 7 scan order low to high <0..max> removable media support none chs mapping scsi plug & play mapping spinup delay (sec) 2 help restore default setup exit this menu starting the scsi bios con?uration utility 3-9 parity the lsi logic pci to scsi host adapters always generate parity, but some older scsi devices do not. therefore, you are offered the option of disabling parity checking. note: when disabling parity checking, it is also necessary to disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking for the reselection phase is not disabled. if a device does not generate parity, and it disconnects, the i/o never completes because the reselection never completes. host scsi id this option refers to the host adapter s scsi id, which is a unique number used to identify the device on the scsi bus. note: in general, it is suggested that the user not change the host adapter id from the default value of 7, as this gives it the highest priority on the scsi bus. please also note that if you have 8-bit scsi devices (narrow), they cannot see host ids greater than 7. scan order this option allows the user to tell the scsi bios and device drivers to scan the scsi bus from low to high (0 to max) scsi id, or from high to low (max to 0) scsi id. if there is more than one device on the scsi bus, changing the scan order changes the order in which drive letters are assigned by the system. drive order may be reassigned differently in systems supporting the bios boot speci?ation (bbs). see the pci storage device management system sdms 4.0 user s guide , chapter 2, ?csi bios, for additional information regarding bbs. note: the scan order option may con?ct with operating systems that automatically assign a drive order. removable media support this option de?es the removable media support for a speci? drive. when this option is selected, a window appears with three choices: ? none ? boot drive only ? with media installed 3-10 con?uring the LSIU40SE none indicates there is no removable media support whether the drive is selected in bbs as being ?st, or ?st in scan order in non-bbs. boot drive only provides removable media support for a removable hard drive if it is ?st in the scan order. with media installed provides removable media support wherever the drive(s) actually resides. one of these choices can be selected by highlighting it and pressing enter. chs mapping this option de?es the cylinder head sector (chs) values that will be mapped onto a disk without pre-existing partition information. scsi plug and play mapping is the default value. to support interchange with noncompatible systems, there is another option that can be selected by choosing chs mapping and then moving the cursor to alternate chs mapping . note: neither of these options will have any effect after the disk has been partitioned with the fdisk command. to remove partitioning, two options are available: ? reformat the disk using the format device option. see section 3.2.3, ?evice selections menu, below. ? use the fdisk/mbr command at the c:\ prompt, where mbr represents master boot record. impor tant: reformatting the disk or using fdisk/mbr erases all partitioning and data that exists. be careful when using either the format utility or the fdisk/mbr command that you target the correct disk. after clearing the partitions and data, it is necessary to reboot and clear memory or the old partitioning data will be reused, thus nullifying the previous operation. spinup delay (seconds) this option allows you to stagger spinups for a longer period of time to balance the total current load. the default value is 2 seconds with choices between 1 and 10 seconds. starting the scsi bios con?uration utility 3-11 this is a power management device designed to accommodate disk devices that may have heavy current load during power up. if multiple drives are being powered up simultaneously and drawing heavy current loads, then this option staggers the spinups to limit startup current. 3.2.3 device selections menu when you select the device selections option, the corresponding menu (as shown in figure 3.7 ) appears. figure 3.7 device selections menu the settings in this menu affect individual scsi devices attached to the selected host adapter. changes made from this menu do not cause the system to reboot upon exit from the scsi bios con?uration utility. to change a value, select the required device by using the arrow keys and press enter. a new menu (as shown in figure 3.8 ) appears providing the options and utilities available. for example, you could select the sync rate option to change the sync rate value of the chosen device. device

(mbytes/s) this option de?es 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 de?es 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 host adapters that can do 16-bit data transfers have this option enabled. lsi53c875 inside device sync rate width disconnect read/write i/o timeout scan for device at boot time scan for scsi luns queue tags initial boot format verify help restore default setup exit this menu starting the scsi bios con?uration utility 3-13 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. this option tells the host adapter whether or not to allow a device to disconnect. some devices run faster with disconnects enabled (typically newer devices), while some run faster with disconnects disabled (typically older devices). read/write i/o time-out (seconds) this option sets the amount of time the host adapter waits for a read, write, or seek command to complete before trying the i/o transfer again. since this provides a safeguard allowing the system to recover if an i/o operation fails, it is recommended that you always set the time-out to a value greater than zero. note: if the time-out is set to zero, then the i/o will never time-out. scan for device at boot time set this option to no if there is a device that you do not want to be available to the system. also, on a bus with only a few devices attached, you can speed up boot time by changing this setting to no for all unused scsi ids. scan for scsi logical units (luns) set this option to no if problems arise with a device that responds to all luns whether they are occupied or not. for example, if there is a scsi device with multiple luns but you do not want all of those luns to be available to the system, then set this option to no . this will limit the scan to lun 0 only. queue tags this option allows the user to enable or disable the issuing of queue tags during i/o requests when your device driver can do this. initial boot this option allows any device attached to the ?st adapter to become the boot device. it provides the users of non-bbs personal computers with some of the ?xibility of a bbs machine. format device if enabled, this option allows the user to low-level format a magnetic disk drive. low-level formatting will completely and irreversibly erase all data on the drive. formatting will default the drive to a 512-byte sector size even if the drive had previously been formatted to another sector size. 3-14 con?uring the LSIU40SE verify this option allows the user to read all the sectors on a disk looking for errors. when selected, this option displays the following message: verify all sectors on the device press esc to abort else press any key to continue help this option brings up a help screen with information about the current menu. restore default setup this option resets all device selections back to their default settings. select this option to restore all manufacturing defaults for the speci?d adapter. note that all user customized options will be lost upon saving after restoring default setup. exit this menu this option allows you to leave the current menu and return to the previous screen. 3.3 exiting the scsi bios con?uration utility since some changes only take effect after the system reboots, it is important that you exit from this con?uration utility properly. return to the main menu and exit using the quit option. impor tant: rebooting the system without properly exiting from this utility may cause some changes to not take effect.
