• Initial Delay. Number of seconds between physical device start-ups.
• Sequential Delay. Number of seconds between consecutive device
spin-up cycles.
• Change any of the following SCSI Parameters (note that Transfer
Speed is read only):
• Channel for this controller
• Whether the controller will handle data at 8-bit or 16-bit transfers
• Maximum data transfer rate of the disk side channels. Speeds are
Asynchronous, 5 MHz, 8 MHz, 10 MHz, 20 MHz, and 40 MHz
(LVD only).
• SCSI Tag Queuing. Enable in order to queue up commands to be
executed by the target.
• Enable (by checking) or disable (by unchecking) the following
Clustering Parameter:
• Clustering. Under Windows 2000 or Windows NT 4.0, allows
redundancy among controllers in various servers. If a controller or
server fails, another controller can take over the disk drives and disk
arrays that were formerly handled by the failed controller. This
mechanism imparts a “fault tolerance” among controllers and
servers.
• Change the following Clustering Parameter:
• Controller Host ID. Change if you want to set this controller’s
target ID to something other than 7.
