Details on field
This field indicates the number of seconds to wait
between spinups of devices attached to an adapter.
Staggered spinups will balance the total electrical
current load on the system during boot. The default
value is 2 seconds with choices between 1 and 10
seconds.
This field indicates whether an adapter has one or
more devices attached that are shared with one or
more other adapters and therefore, the Symbios PCI
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 Clus-
ter Server. The default value is No with an alternate
option of Yes.
This field indicates whether an adapter has auto-
matic termination control, and if so, its current status.
Two settings are:
Auto:
The adapter automatically determines
whether it should enable or disable its ter-
mination.
Off:
Termination at the adapter is off, the
devices at the ends of the SCSI bus must
terminate the bus.
Note: If Auto is greyed out, it means the termination
is automatic, not programmable.
Select this option to restore all default settings.
