A.1
Introduction
This appendix provides detailed configuration information for advanced users who
want to customize the configuration of the QLA12160 board and the connected
devices.
The QLA12160 board is configured at the factory to provide maximum performance.
When your board is operating at maximum performance, it may not be 100%
compatible with some older SCSI-1 devices. If you are using a SCSI-1 device, see
section A.5 for more information.
The board can be configured using Fast!UTIL. To access Fast!UTIL, press ALT+Q
during the QLA12160 board BIOS initialization (it may take a few seconds for the
Fast!UTIL menu to appear). If you have more than one QLA12160 board, Fast!UTIL
prompts you to select which board you want to configure. After changing the settings,
Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters.
CAUTION!
When the configuration settings are incorrect, the QLA12160 board
does not function properly.
The following sections describe the Fast!UTIL options.
A.2
Configuration Settings
The first selection on the Fast!UTIL Options menu is Configuration Settings.
These settings configure SCSI devices and the QLA12160 board to which they are
attached.
