>4GByte addressing: Enable this setting when the system has more than 4 GB of
memory available. The default is Disabled.
LUNs per target: This setting specifies the number of LUNs per device. Multiple
logical unit number (LUN) support is typically for redundant array of independent

Enable LIP reset: This setting determines the type of loop initialization process
(LIP) reset that is used when the operating system initiates a bus reset routine.
When this option is set to Yes, the device driver initiates a global LIP reset to clear
the target device reservations. When this option is set to No, the device driver
initiates a global LIP reset with full login. The default is No.
Enable LIP full logon: This setting instructs the internet service provider (ISP) chip
to log into all ports after any LIP. The default is Yes.
Enable target reset: This setting enables the device drivers to issue a Target Reset
command to all devices on the loop when a SCSI Bus Reset command is issued.
The default is Yes.
Login retry count: This setting specifies the number of times the software tries to
log into a device. The default is 30 retries.
Port down retry count: This setting specifies the number of times the software
retries a command to a port that is returning port-down status. The default is 30
retries.
IOCB allocation: This setting specifies the maximum number of buffers from the
firmware buffer pool that are allocated to any one port. The default setting is 256
buffers.
Extended error logging: This setting provides additional error and debugging
information to the operating system. When this option is set to Enabled, events are
logged into the Windows NT Event Viewer or the Windows 2000 Event Viewer
(depending on the environment you are in). The default is Disabled.
