Figure 7-13. Parallel SCSI configuration menu
Press the Enter key to toggle the current menu to the next SCSI bus.
• Select 1 to edit the SCSI Initiator menu settings, described later in the chapter.
• Select 2 to enable/disable SCSI Discovery.
• Select 3 to enable/disable SCSI Bus Reset on Boot. When enabled, the VT5900-SA will
automatically reset SCSI buses after initial power up and after reboots.
• Select 4 to set the discovery delay time for SCSI devices. This is the time the VT5900-SA
waits after a power-up or reboot before starting to discover SCSI devices. This value should be
set to no less than 250ms, according to the SCSI standard for Reset-to-Selection Time. HP
recommends you set the value to at least 2 seconds to ensure all SCSI devices complete their
individual power-ups. With Discovery enabled, the Discovery Delay will lengthen the time
taken by the VT5900-SA to reboot.
• Select 5 to toggle the SCSI termination mode between Enabled and Disabled. This option is
automatically set to Enabled for Internal termination. The Internal setting allows the VT5900-
SA to internally terminate a SCSI connection. Setting this option to Disabled allows the SCSI
Bus, not the VT5900-SA, to handle SCSI terminations.
