Select 1 to edit the SCSI Initiator menu settings, described later in the chapter.
•
Select 2 to enable/disable SCSI Discovery.
•
Select 3 to enable/disable SCSI bus Reset on Boot. When enabled, the interface card automatically
resets SCSI buses after initial library power-up and after reboots.
•
Select 4 to set the discovery delay time for SCSI devices. The default is 30 seconds. This is the time the
interface card waits after a power-up or reboot before starting to discover SCSI devices. This value
should be set to no less than 250ms, according to the SCSI standard for Reset-to-Selection Time. This
value may need to be increased to ensure that all SCSI devices complete their individual power-ups.
With Discovery enabled, the Discovery Delay lengthens the time taken by the interface card to reboot.
•
Select 5 to toggle the SCSI termination mode between Enabled and Disabled. This option is
automatically set to Enabled for Internal termination. The Internal setting allows the interface card to
internally terminate a SCSI connection. Setting this option to Disabled allows the SCSI bus, not the
interface card, to handle SCSI terminations.
•
Select 6 to access menu settings for the maximum SCSI bus connection speed, described later in this
chapter. Note that when this option is selected, the user is prompted to select a Target ID on the
currently selected bus. Currently, maximum speed settings are shown.
