Reasons to Set OFF
– Split bus allows you to mirror disks
within the disk system.
– Having fewer devices on the bus
improves bus performance.
– Split bus allows daisy chains of two
disk systems.
– High addresses are used by other
devices on the bus.
– Low addresses give disks higher
priority on the bus, potentially
improving access time.
The disk system is in the middle of a
bus. See page 84 for details.
