3-4 Firmware Installation Procedure
Ver. 2.0 Copyright © 2002 by LSI Logic Corporation. All rights reserved.
3.4 Configuring the Firmware
The LSI Logic firmware supports several configuration options, defined
individually below. All options may be configured using the FCUTIL utility
menu, as described in Section 3.3.1, “Installing the FcUtil Program.”
3.4.1 Link Speed
The link speed of these host adapters is configurable. By default, the link
speed is set to Auto, meaning the host adapter automatically detects the
link speed of all other nodes on the link, and automatically adjusts itself
to work with those nodes. If for some reason this automatic operation
fails (e.g., other nodes on a loop not supporting Auto Negotiation), the
LSI Logic host adapters may be configured to either the 2 Gbit/s or 1
Gbit/s speed, specifically.
Note that the LSI44929 has two FC ports (the ITI7004G2-LC has four),
so the link speed must be configured for each port. The LSI40919 has
only one port.
Step 1. To set the link speed of the host adapter, execute this command
from DOS:
A:\ fcutil
The FCUTIL program identifies all LSI Logic host adapters in the
system, and allows you to select which adapter to update.
Step 2. The FCUTIL program displays a menu of options.
To change the link speed on the LSI44929, LSI40919, or
ITI7004G2-LC Port 0, select one of the following menu options:
f - Change Port 0 Board Speed to 1GB
g - Change Port 0 Board Speed to 2GB
h - Change Port 0 Board Speed to Auto
To change the link speed on the LSI44929 or ITI7004G2-LC
Port 1, select one of the following menu options:
i - Change Port 1 Board Speed to 1GB
j - Change Port 1 Board Speed to 2GB
