Dell 6100 - Configuration Menu; Boot Device Options Submenu; Table 3-1. Default SCSI Controller Settings

3-2 Dell PowerEdge 6100/200 System User’s Guide
Configuration Menu
The basic host adapter settings on this menu are the
SCSISelect settings most likely to require modification.
•
Host Adapter SCSI ID—This option sets the host
adapter’s SCSI identification (ID). The default set-
ting is SCSI ID 7, which allows the host adapter to
support narrow SCSI devices in addition to wide
SCSI devices. Dell recommends that you leave the
host adapter set to SCSI ID 7.
•
SCSI Parity Checking—This option determines
whether the host adapter verifies the accuracy of data
transfer on the SCSI bus. The default setting is
Enabled. You should disable SCSI Parity Checking
if any SCSI device connected to the host adapter
does not support SCSI parity; otherwise, leave it
enabled. Most SCSI devices support SCSI parity. If
you are unsure if a device supports SCSI parity, con-
sult the documentation for the device.
•
Host Adapter SCSI Termination—This option sets
termination on the host adapter. The default setting
for all Adaptec 78xx series host adapters is Low
On/High On. Dell recommends that you leave this
option set to the default.
Boot Device Options Submenu
The boot device settings allow you to specify the device
from which to boot your computer.
•
Boot Target ID—This option specifies the SCSI ID
of the device from which you wish to boot your sys-
tem. The default setting is SCSI ID 0. The SCSI ID
