After PC restart the SCSI hostadapter and all SCSI devices connected to it will
be listed in Windows’ Device Manager. Should Windows have recognized your SCSI
hostadapter and installed the appropriate driver automatically, we still recommend
using the driver contained in the hostadapter package. Start Control Panel, double-
click the System icon, choose Device Manager, and select the icon representing the
installed SCSI hostadapter. Then activate the Drivers tab and choose the Other Driver
or Updated Driver option to install the original driver delivered on diskette.
7.2 Summary of DC2976.MPD Command Line Switches
If you wish to use the Power Save function or if any problems are caused by
customised configurations, you can add the following switches to the SCSI driver by
means of the options provided on the Settings tab in Windows’ Device Manager:
/PS=..
Specifies the interval (in minutes) after which inactive drives are to be
switched off
/*SN=..
Specifies the Target-IDs for which the synchronous/asynchronous
data transfer settings of Windows’ Device Manager are to be ignored,
i.e. for which control is be given to the SCSI device. Hostadapters
supplied with a SCSI setup ignore this parameter and use the setup
settings instead.
/!SN=x,..,x
This parameter defines the devices that are to run in asynchronous
instead of in synchronous mode even if the device tries to switch into
synchronous mode. Hostadapters supplied with a SCSI setup ignore
this parameter and use the setup settings instead.
/SN=x,..,x
This parameter specifies the devices to be operated in Synchronous
Data Transfer mode if this mode is supported by these devices,
independent of the Windows settings. Entering „/SN=1,4“, for example,
enables the synchronous mode for SCSI-IDs 1 and 4. Hostadapters
supplied with a SCSI setup ignore this parameter and use the setup
settings instead.
/!DISC=x,..,x
Specifies the devices for which the "disconnect" settings of Windows
device manager are to be ignored and with it this function is not
available.
