- type "scsi rate <path> <speed>"
(where <path> is the path obtained as shown above, and <speed> is 'fast'
or 'ultra')
The SCSI ID of the controller card can be changed as follows:
- if at the Main Menu, type "ser" (to display service menu)
- type "scsi init <path> <new ID>"
(where <path> is the path obtained as shown above, and
<new ID> is a single digit, 0 - 7)
SCSI Termination Information
The A5838A card is shipped from the factory with autotermination
enabled. If the A5838A is placed at the end of a SCSI bus,
autotermination is enabled, so there is no need for external terminators.
If the A5838A card is installed in the middle of a SCSI bus, you must
change its SCSI ID and disable autotermination for the port by placing a
jumper across two-pins on the card. Refer to the Quick Installation
Guide for details.
