4.15.1
Shared SCSI Support
Tru64
UNIX
supports shared SCSI busses using the
AlphaServer
TS15 embedded external
SCSI port. When operating on a shared bus, jumper J41 (see Figure 4–20) must be installed
on the system board. This will disable the on-board SCSI terminators for that SCSI bus.
Additional setup is required including modifying parameters through the SCSI BIOS. Refer
to the appropriate
Tru64 UNIX
documentation for complete information on shared bus
support and setup. Note that when not operating on a shared bus, J41 must removed and all
SCSI BIOS parameters must be reset to their default values otherwise unpredictable system
behavior may result.
