Enabling Cd Drive Support; Mixing Se Devices With Lvd Devices - ICP ICP9014RO Installation And User Manual

Enabling CD Drive Support

Note: ICP SCSI RAID controllers do not support CD drives in
Linux systems.
If you attached a CD drive to the controller, you need to configure
the controller BIOS as follows to make the CD drive work:
1 While the system is starting, press Ctrl-A when the controller
displays its message on the screen.
2 Select SCSISelect Utility, then select Controller Configuration.
Using the arrow keys, enable CD-ROM Boot Support and
3
Removable Media Devices Support.
Press Esc until the Reboot window appears.
4
5 Restart the computer.

Mixing SE Devices with LVD Devices

If you are mixing SE devices with LVD devices:
Ensure proper termination by using a cable with a built-in
multimode terminator and appropriate device adapters.
Observe the cable length limitations for SE (3 meter maximum
bus length using up to 4 devices, 1.5 meter maximum bus
length using up to 8 devices).
Disable device termination on all SE devices.
Put LVD and SE devices on separate channels for best
performance.
Note: If SE and LVD devices (like Ultra320) are used
together on the same channel, the performance of the LVD
devices is reduced to SE performance levels.
