Yes Indicates whether SCSI parity is enabled for an adapter. When disabled, it is also necessary to
disable disconnects for all devices, as parity checking for the reselection phase is not disabled. If a
non-parity generating device disconnects, its operation will never complete because the reselection
fails due to parity error.
7 Indicates the SCSI identifier of an adapter. It is not recommended to change the host adapter ID
from the default value of 7.
Indicates the order in which to scan SCSI identifiers on an adapter. Changing this item will affect
drive letter assignment(s) if more than one device is attached to an adapter.
None Specifies the removable media support option for an adapter. Removable media support only applies
to devices that report themselves as a hard drive. It does not apply to CD-ROM devices or Magnetic
Optical devices.
None indicates no removable media support whether the drive is selected as first (BBS), or is first in
the scan order (non-BBS).
Boot Drive Only provides removable media support for a removable hard drive if it is first in the scan
order.
With Media Installed provides removable media support regardless of the drive number assignment.
Defines the cylinder head sector (CHS) values that are mapped onto an un-partitioned disk.
SCSI Plug and Play Mapping automatically determines the most efficient and compatible mapping.
Alternate CHS Mapping utilizes an alternate, possibly less efficient mapping that may be required if a
device is moved between adapters from different vendors.
C C C C a a a a u u u u t t t t i i i i on on on on: : : : Neither of these options has any effect after a disk has been partitioned using the FDISK
command. The FDISK utility is a tool that the user can use to delete partition entries, one or all of
them. If all partition entries are deleted, it is necessary to reboot to clear memory or the old
partitioning data will be reused, thus nullifying the previous operation. Use care to ensure that the
correct disk is the target of an FDISK command.
2 Indicates the delay in seconds between spinups of devices attached to an adapter. Staggered spinups
balance the total electrical current load on the system during boot. The default value is 2 seconds.
No Indicates whether an adapter has one or more devices attached that are shared with one or more
other adapters and therefore, the Symbios SCSI BIOS should avoid SCSI bus resets as much as
possible.
This option allows the user to enable an adapter to join a cluster of adapters without doing any SCSI
bus resets. This is a requirement for Microsoft Cluster Server. The default value is No with an
alternate option of Yes.
Auto If available, the field indicates whether an adapter has automatic termination control.
Auto means that the adapter automatically determines whether it should enable or disable its
termination. Auto is the default state unless termination is done manually, in which case, the
configuration is Off.
