Chapter 6: RAID configuration

Spinup Delay (Secs)

Determines the waiting time (in seconds) between spinups of devices

attached to an adapter. Staggered spinups will balance the total

electrical current load on the system during boot. The default value is

2 seconds. Configuration options: 1 ~ 10 seconds

Secondary Cluster Server

Specifies whether an adapter has one or more devices that are

attached or are shared with another adapter(s). When you set this

option to [Yes] the Fusion-MPT PCI SCSI BIOS avoids SCSI Bus resets

as much as possible when two or more devices are shared with the

other adapter.

This option allows you to enable an adapter to join a cluster of

adapters without doing any SCSI bus resets. This is a requirement for

the Microsoft Cluster Server. The default value is [No].

Termination Control

Indicates whether an adapter has automatic termination control, and

displays the current termination control status, if any. When set to

[Auto], the adapter automatically determines whether it should enable

or disable its termination. Set to [Off] allows the devices at the ends

of the SCSI bus to terminate the bus.

When the option [Auto] is grayed out, termination is automatic and is

non-configurable.

Restore Defaults

Select this option, then press <Enter> to load the default settings.
