About SCSI
Changing SCSI Termination on the Controller
The default termination for the controller is Auto Mode and you will
probably never need to change this setting. However, if you do
need to change the termination, you can use the SCSISelect
Controller SCSI Channel Termination option to change the setting
to Disabled. For details, see page A-13.
All these SCSI controllers support multimode SCSI termination.
Enabling CD Drive Support
Note: Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers do not support CD
drives in Linux systems.
If you attached a CD drive to the controller, you need to configure
the controller BIOS to make the CD drive work, as follows:
1 While the system is starting, press Ctrl-A when the controller
displays its message on the screen.
2 Select SCSISelect Utility, then select Controller Configuration.
3 Using the arrow keys, enable CD-ROM Boot Support and
Removable Media Devices Support.
4 Press Esc until the Reboot window appears.
5 Restart the computer.
Mixing SE Devices with LVD Devices
If you are mixing SE devices with LVD devices:
■ Ensure proper termination by using a cable (like the one in the
kit) with a built-in multimode terminator and appropriate
device adapters.
■ Disable device termination on all SE devices.
■ Put LVD and SE devices on separate channels for best
performance.
Note: If SE and Ultra320 devices are used together on the
same channel, the performance of the Ultra320 devices is
reduced to SE performance levels.
