Setting Bus Width for A6829A Host Bus Adapter Installed in
PA-RISC Based System
If the HP A6829A HBA is installed in a supported PA-RISC based
system, use the BCH menu to set the bus width.
The steps for setting the bus width through the BCH menus (if you do
not want to use the default suggested by the system’s firmware) are
given below.
NOTE The following steps and examples are specific to HP server rp7410.
Menus, command syntax, and responses might be slightly different on
other systems.
For command syntax and valid bus width values, HP recommends you
to use the online help for the scsi command (type help scsi when you
are in the BCH “Service Menu”).
To display and optionally change the A6829A adapter’s bus width in the
BCH menus, perform the following steps:
Step 1. Check the PDC (system firmware) version by performing the following
steps:
a. If you are already at the “Main Menu,” type in (for “Information
Menu”); go to step b.
If you are not at the “Main Menu,” type main (to return to the “Main
Menu”), type in (for “Information Menu”), and then go to step b.
b. At the “Information Menu,” type fv (to display the PDC version). The
output is as follows:

HP support representative.
