CHAPTER 7 SCSI Setup & Configuration 63 Chapter 7
Chapter 7 SCSI Setup & Configuration 7.1 Introduction The PCA-6187 is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7899 single-chip PCIto-SCSI host adapter which provides a dual channel Ultra 160 multitasking interface between your computer.s PCI bus and SCSI devices (disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media drives, etc.). Ultra 160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that expands SCSI performance from 80 MBytes/sec to 160 MBytes/ sec.
7.2 Understanding SCSI SCSI (pronounced .scuzzy.) stands for Small Computer Systems Interface. SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting SCSI devices to a common SCSI bus. 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.
• If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive connected to the SCSI bus, the Boot SCSI ID setting in the SCSISelect utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0. We recommend that you do not change this setting. • In Windows 95/98, you can use the Device Manager to determine which SCSI ID is assigned to each installed SCSI device. 7.
7.5 Configuring the SCSI interface with SCSISelect SCSISelect, included with the CPU card, enables you to change SCSI settings without opening the computer. SCSISelect also enables you to lowlevel 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: The default settings are appropriate for most systems.
Sync Transfer Rate (MBytes/sec) 160, 80.0, 53.4, 40.0, 160 32.0, 26.8, 20.0, 16.0, 13.4, 10.
BIOS Support for Int 13 Enabled, Disabled Enabled Extensions2 1 Setting is valid only if Multiple LUN Support is enabled. 2 Settings are valid only if host adapter BIOS is enabled. 7.6 Starting SCSISelect Follow these steps to start SCSISelect: 1. Turn on or restart your system. During the startup process, pay careful attention to the messages that appear on your screen. 2.
SCSI Bus Interface Definitions • Host Adapter SCSI ID-(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI controller. The Adaptec SCSI controller AIC-7899 is set at 7, which gives the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend that you do not change this setting. • SCSI Parity Checking-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, verifies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Leave this setting enabled unless any SCSI device does not support SCSI parity.
Note: Set Initiate Wide Negotiation to NO if you are using an 8-bit SCSI device that hangs or exhibits 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.
SCSISelect Utility by pressing after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears. • Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte. This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not required for other operating systems, such as NetWare of UNIX. Caution: Changing the translation scheme destroys all data on the drive.
• Disabled. No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives. Software drivers are required because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS. • Boot Only.Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot device is treated as a hard disk drive. • All Disks.All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are treated as hard disk drives.
