ULTRA2 LVD SCSI HOST ADAPTER
• Question: Is it really necessary to terminate the last SCSI device on the cable?
Answer: Not if the cable itself is terminated. But if the cable is not terminated,
you must make sure that the device is terminated. Improper termination at
either end of the SCSI bus will cause the Adapter not to work properly, or even
not to initialize at all (the driver will fail to load).
• Question: How do I set the burst-transfer rate for SCSI devices?
Answer: You can set the maximum synchronous transfer rate of a given device
with the SmartSCSI Utility. To run the Utility, press <Ctrl> <I> at system
bootup; click on "Device Setup" and follow the on-screen options to select the
desired transfer rate (see Section 4.6.3).
• Question: Under SCO UnixWare
crashes during bootup.
Answer: Reboot the system and verify that the interrupt setting of the
Adapter's kernel conforms to UNIX standards. Please refer to your system's
documentation for information about setting the interrupt levels and your
peripherals' documentation for help in setting SCSI IDs.
In order to boot from the old UnixWare kernel, reboot the system and take
the following steps:
1. Begin an interactive boot session by pressing the space bar at the BOOTING
UNIXWARE prompt.
2. At the system's [boot]# prompt, type KERNEL=unix.org < ENTER >.
3. Type go < ENTER >.
Consult the SCO UnixWare Installation Handbook's "Troubleshooting" section to
help isolate the problem. If it becomes necessary to remove the Adapter's SCO
UnixWare device driver, refer to Section 5.8.4.
