2Boot Device Configuration
Setting the boot device enables you to specify the SCSI device used to boot your
SERVER.
3SCSI Device Configuration (#0 to #15)
This option allows you to configure specific parameters for each SCSI device on the
SCSI bus. To configure a SCSI device, you must know the SCSI ID assigned to it.

・ Boot Target ID
This option allows you to specify which SCSI device you want to boot your
SERVER from by using the SCSI ID. The default setting is SCSI ID ｢0｣. The
SCSI ID selected here must correspond to the ID configured for the Boot
Device.
・ Boot LUN Number
When LUN (Logical Unit Numbers) and Multiple LUN Support are enabled
for the Boot Device, using this option allows you to specify the device you are
booting from. The default setting is LUN ｢0｣.
・ Initiate Sync Negotiation
Using this option allows you to determine whether to initiate synchronous data
transfer negotiation (Sync negotiation) between the SCSI device and this card
using this card. The default setting is ｢yes｣.
Sync negotiation is a SCSI function that allows this card and the device
connected to this card to transfer data in synchronous mode. The synchronous
data transfer rate is higher than the asynchronous data transfer rate.
When the SCSI device initiates this function, this card always responds to
Sync Negotiation. If this card and the SCSI device do not initiate Sync
negotiation, data is transferred asynchronously.
Since most SCSI devices support the Sync Negotiation function, and thus can
transfer data at a rate higher than asynchronous data transfer rate, you should
usually leave this Sync Negotiation Start setting set to ｢yes｣.
Note
Some old types of SCSI-1 devices do not support Sync Negotiation. If Sync
Negotiation Start is set to ｢yes｣ in this situation, your computer might hang
or malfunction. For such old types of SCSI-1 devices, set Sync Negotiation
Start to ｢no｣.
