SCSI Setup and Con- figuration The PCA-6005-B features an onboard SCSI interface. This chapter provides basic SCSI concepts and instructions for installing the software drivers with the SCSI driver disks/CD included in your package...
Chapter 6 SCSI Setup and Configuration 6.1 Introduction The PCA-6005-B is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7899 single-chip PCI- to-SCSI host adapter which provides a dual channel Ultra 160 multi- tasking interface between your computer.s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.).
A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI interface installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices. SCSI cables are used to connect the devices to the SCSI interface. For the SCSI bus to function properly, a unique SCSI ID must be assigned to the SCSI inter- face and each SCSI device connected to it, and the SCSI bus must be properly terminated.
If you use a dif- ferent kind of terminator plug, the data I/O rate will decrease. By default, termination on the SCSI controller itself is set to Automatic (the preferred method). We recommend that you do not change this default setting. PCA-6005-B User’s Manual...
6.5 Configuring the SCSI interface with SCSISelect SCSISelect, included with the CPU card, enables you to change SCSI set- tings without opening the computer. SCSISelect also enables you to low- level format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard disk drives. The following table lists the available and default settings for each SCSISelect option.

Note: Set Initiate Wide Negotiation to NO if you are using an 8-bit SCSI device that hangs or exhib- its other performance problems with 16-bit data transfer rate enabled. • Enable Disconnection-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, allows the SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. Leave the setting at Yes if two or more SCSI device is connected, changing the setting to No results in slightly better performance.
