Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The PCA-6002-B Series all-in-one industrial grade CPU card uses
Intel®'s highly acclaimed Ultra Low Voltage Celeron® 400/650 MHz
processor together with the Intel® 815E chipset. The card works with
standard ISA or PCI/ISA-bus passive backplanes.
The CPU provides 256 KB on-CPU L2 cache, eliminating the need for
external SRAM chips. It has two PCI EIDE interfaces (for up to four
devices) and a floppy disk drive interface (for up to two devices). Other
features include two RS-232 serial ports (16C550 UARTs with 16-byte
FIFO or compatible), one enhanced parallel port and four USB (Universal
Serial Bus) ports. The PCI enhanced IDE controller supports Ultra ATA/
100/66/33 and PIO Mode 4 operation. This provides data transfer rates of
over 100/66/33 MB/sec. System BIOS supports boot-up from an IDE
CD-ROM and LS-120.
A backup of CMOS data is stored in the Flash memory, which protects
data even after a battery failure. Also included is a 255-level watchdog
timer, which resets the CPU or generates an interrupt if a program cannot
be executed normally. This enables reliable operation in unattended environments.
The PCA-6002-B Series offers several impressive industrial features such
as a chipset integrated VGA (AGP) controller, dual 10/100Base-T networking controllers, two DIMM slots for a total of 512 MB SDRAM
memory, and an ISA High Drive. All these make it an ideal choice for
applications that require both high performance and full functionality.
The remote management interface enables the PCA-6002-B to be managed through Ethernet when it is connected to the SNMP-1000 Remote
HTTP/SNMP System Manager.
Note: Some of the features mentioned above are not
available with all models. For more information
about the specifications of a particular model,
see Section 1.3: Specifications.
PCA-6002-B User’s Manual 2
1.2 Features
1. Low-power CPU for fanless operation: The PCA-6002-B uses
Intel's ultra low voltage Celeron CPU, which consumes less power
and operates without a cooling fan.
2. Temperature monitoring and alert: To prevent system overheat-
ing and damage, the CPU card supports processor thermal sensing
and auto-protection.
3. Voltage monitoring and alert: System voltage levels are moni-
tored to ensure stable current flows to critical components. Voltage
specifications will become even more critical for processors of the
future. Thus monitoring will become ever more necessary to ensure
proper system configuration and management.
4. ATX soft power switch: Through the BIOS, the power button can
be defined as the "Standby" (aka "Suspend" or "Sleep") button or as
the "Soft-Off" button (see Section 3.7.5 Soft-off by PWR-BTN).
Regardless of the setting, pushing the power button for more than 4
seconds will enter the Soft-Off mode.
5. Power-on by modem (requires modem): This allows a computer
to be turned on remotely through an internal or external modem.
Users can thus access information on their computers from anywhere in the world.
6. Power-on by LAN: This allows you to remotely power up your
system through your network by sending a wake-up frame or signal. With this feature, you can remotely upload/ download data to/
from systems during off-peak hours.
7. Message LED: Chassis LEDs now act as information providers.
The way a particular LED illuminates indicates the stage the computer is in. A single glimpse provides useful information to the
user.
8. CMOS RAM backup: When BIOS CMOS setup has been completed, data in the CMOS RAM is automatically backed up to the
Flash ROM. This is particularly useful in industrial environments
which may cause soft errors. Upon such an error occurring, BIOS
will check the data, and automatically restore the original data for
booting.

9. More:
• Power On by Alarm: Powers up your computer at a certain time
• Virus warning: During and after system boot-up, any attempt to
write to the boot sector or partition table of the hard disk drive will
halt the system. In this case, a warning message will be displayed.
You can then run your anti-virus program to locate the problem

1.6 Safety Precautions
Warning! Always completely disconnect the power cord
from your chassis whenever you work with the
hardware. Do not make connections while the
power is on. Sensitive electronic components
can be damaged by sudden power surges. Only
experienced electronics personnel should open
the PC chassis.
Caution! Always ground yourself to remove any static
charge before touching the CPU card. Modern
electronic devices are very sensitive to static
electric charges. As a safety precaution, use a
grounding wrist strap at all times. Place all electronic components on a static-dissipative surface or in a static-shielded bag when they are
not in the chassis.
1.7 Jumper Settings
This section provides instructions on how to configure your card by setting the jumpers. It also includes the card's default settings and your
options for each jumper.
1.7.1 How to set the jumpers
You configure your card to match the needs of your application by setting
the jumpers. A jumper is a metal bridge that closes an electrical circuit. It
consists of two metal pins and a small metal clip (often protected by a
plastic cover) that slides over the pins to connect them. To “close” (or
turn ON) a jumper, you connect the pins with the clip. To “open” (or turn
OFF) a jumper, you remove the clip. Sometimes a jumper consists of a set
of three pins, labeled 1, 2, and 3. In this case you connect either pins 1
and 2, or 2 and 3. A pair of needle-nose pliers may be useful when setting
jumpers.
9 Chapter 1
1.7.2 CMOS clear (J1)
1
The PCA-6002-B CPU card contains a jumper that can erase CMOS data
and reset the system BIOS information. Normally this jumper should be
set with pins 1-2 closed. If you want to reset the CMOS data, set J1 to 2-3
closed for just a few seconds, and then move the jumper back to 1-2
closed. This procedure will reset the CMOS to its default setting.
Table 1.3: CMOS clear (J1)
Function Jumper setting
* Keep CMOS data 1-2 closed
Clear CMOS data 2-3 closed
* default setting
1.7.3 Watchdog timer output (J2)
The PCA-6002-B contains a watchdog timer that will reset the CPU or
send a signal to IRQ11 in the event the CPU stops processing. This feature means the PCA-6002-B will recover from a software failure or an
EMI problem. The J2 jumper settings control the outcome of what the
computer will do in the event the watchdog timer is tripped.
Table 1.4: Watchdog timer output (J2)

* Reset 2-3 closed
* default setting
PCA-6002-B User’s Manual 10
Note: The interrupt output of the watchdog timer is a
low level signal. It will be held low until the
watchdog timer is reset.
1.8 System Memory
The top-left edge of the PCA-6002-B contains two sockets for 168-pin
dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). All two sockets use 3.3 V unbuffered synchronous DRAMs (SDRAM). DIMMs are available in capacities of 16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB. The sockets can be filled in any
combination with DIMMs of any size, giving your PCA-6002-B single
board computer between 16 MB and 512 MB of memory. Use the following table to calculate the total DRAM memory within your computer:
Table 1.5: DIMM module allocation table
Socket number 168-pin DIMM memory
1 (16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB) x 1
2 (16, 32, 64, 128, or 256 MB) x 1
1.8.1 Sample calculation: DIMM memory capacity
Suppose you install a 128 MB DIMM into your PCA-6002-B's socket 1
and a 32 MB DIMM into sockets 2. Your total system memory is 160
MB, calculated as follows:
Table 1.6: DIMM memory capacity sample calculation
Socket number 168-pin DIMM memory Total memory
1 128 MB x 1 128 MB
2 32 MB x 1 32 MB
Total memory 160 MB
11 Chapter 1
1.9 Memory Installation Procedures
To install DIMMs, first make sure the two handles of the DIMM socket
are in the "open" position (i.e., the handles lean outward). Slowly slide
the DIMM module along the plastic guides on both ends of the socket.
Then press the DIMM module right down into the socket, until you hear a
click. This is when the two handles have automatically locked the memory module into the correct position of the DIMM socket. To remove the
memory module, just push both handles outward, and the memory module will be ejected by the mechanism in the socket.
1.10 Cache Memory
Since the second-level (L2) cache has been embedded into the Intel ®
BGA Celeron ™ processor, you do not have to take care of either SRAM
chips or SRAM modules. The built-in second-level cache in the processor
yields much higher performance than the external cache memories. The
cache size in the Intel® BGA Celeron processor is 256 KB.

CHAPTER
Connecting Peripherals
This chapter tells how to connect
peripherals, switches, and indicators to
the PCA-6002-B board.
Chapter 2 Connecting Peripherals
2.1 Introduction
You can access most of the connectors from the top of the board while it
is installed in the chassis. If you have a number of cards installed or have
a packed chassis, you may need to partially remove the card to make all
the connections.
Note: If your chassis has only one empty expansion
slot to accommodate the CPU card, you can
replace the standard dual-slot bracket with the
single-slot bracket included in your PCA-6002B package, in which case you will have to
access the connectors (CN31~34) on the
extension I/O board from inside the chassis.
2.2 Primary (CN1) and Secondary (CN2) IDE Connectors
CN1
CN2
You can attach up to four IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) drives to the
PCA-6002-B’s built-in controller. The primary (CN1) and secondary
(CN2) connectors can each accommodate two drives.
Wire number 1 on the cable is red or blue and the other wires are gray.
Connect one end to connector CN1 or CN2 on the CPU card. Make sure
that the red/blue wire corresponds to pin 1 on the connector (in the upper
right hand corner). See Chapter 1 for help finding the connector.
Unlike floppy drives, IDE hard drives can connect in either position on
the cable. If you install two drives to a single connector, you will need to
set one as the master and the other as the slave. You do this by setting the
PCA-6002-B User’s Manual 14
jumpers on the drives. If you use just one drive per connector, you should
set each drive as the master. See the documentation that came with your
drive for more information.
Connect the first hard drive to the other end of the cable. Wire 1 on the
cable should also connect to pin 1 on the hard drive connector, which is
labeled on the drive circuit board. Check the documentation that came
with the drive for more information.
Connect the second hard drive to the remaining connector (CN2 or CN1),
in the same way as described above.
2.3 Floppy Drive Connector (CN3)
CN3
You can attach up to two floppy disk drives to the PCA-6002-B's onboard
controller. You can use 3.5" (720 KB, 1.44/2.88 MB) drives.
The card comes with a 34-pin daisy-chain drive connector cable. On one
end of the cable is a 34-pin flat-cable connector. On the other end are two
sets of 34-pin flat-cable connector (usually used for 3.5" drives). The set
on the end (after the twist in the cable) connects to the A: floppy drive.
The set in the middle connects to the B: floppy drive.
15 Chapter 2
2.4 Parallel Port (CN4)
CN4
The parallel port is normally used to connect the CPU card to a printer.
The PCA-6002-B includes an onboard parallel port, accessed through a
26-pin flat-cable connector, CN4. The card comes with an adapter cable
which lets you use a traditional DB-25 connector. The cable has a 26-pin
connector on one end and a DB-25 connector on the other, mounted on a
retaining bracket. The bracket installs at the end of an empty slot in your
chassis, giving you access to the connector.
To install the bracket, find an empty slot in your chassis. Unscrew the
plate that covers the end of the slot. Screw in the bracket in place of the
plate. Next, attach the flat-cable connector to CN4 on the CPU card. Wire
1 of the cable is red or blue, and the other wires are gray. Make sure that
wire 1 corresponds to pin 1 of CN4. Pin 1 is on the upper right side of
CN4.
2.5 USB Ports (CN6, CN31, and CN32)
CN6
The PCA-6002-B provides four ports of USB (Universal Serial Bus)
interface, which gives complete Plug & Play and hot swapping for up to
127 external devices.The USB interface complies with USB Specification
Rev. 1.0 and is fuse-protected.

PCI-bus Ethernet interfaces, which are fully compliant with IEEE 802.3/u
10/100 Mbps CSMA/CD standards. They are supported by all major network operating systems and are 100% Novell NE-2000 compatible. The
RJ-45 jacks on the rear plate provide convenient 10/100 Base-T RJ-45
operation. If users use dual LANs, the second LAN port, CN34, is located
at top slot of the I/O expansion ports.
17 Chapter 2
2.8 Serial Ports (CN9: COM1; CN10: COM2)
CN10
CN9
The PCA-6002-B offers two serial ports, CN9 as COM1 and CN10 as
COM2. These ports can connect to serial devices, such as a mouse or a
printer, or to a communications network.

CHAPTER
Award BIOS Setup
This chapter describes how to set the
card's BIOS configuration data.
Chapter 3 Award BIOS Setup
3.1 Introduction
Award’s BIOS ROM has a built-in setup program that allows users to
modify the basic system configuration. This type of information is stored
in battery-backed memory (CMOS RAM) so that it retains the setup
information when the power is turned off.
3.1.1 CMOS RAM Auto-backup and Restore
The CMOS RAM is powered by an onboard button cell battery.
When you finish BIOS setup, the data in CMOS RAM will be automatically backed up to Flash ROM. If operation in harsh industrial environment cause a soft error, BIOS will recheck the data in CMOS RAM and
automatically restore the original data in Flash ROM to CMOS RAM for
booting.
Note: If you intend to change the CMOS setting with-
out restoring the previous backup, you have to
click on "DEL" within two seconds of the
"CMOS checksum error..." display screen message appearing. Then enter the "Setup" screen
to modify the data. If the "CMOS checksum
error..."message appears again and again,
please check to see if you need to replace the

CHAPTER
SCSI Setup and Configuration
The PCA-6002-B features an onboard
SCSI interface. This chapter provides
basic SCSI concepts and instructions
for installing the software drivers with
the SCSI driver disks/CD included in
your package
Chapter 9 SCSI Setup and Configuration
9.1 Introduction
The PCA-6002-B is equipped with an Adaptec AIC-7899 single-chip
PCI- to-SCSI host adapter which provides a dual channel Ultra 160 multitasking interface between your computer.s PCI bus and SCSI devices
(disk drives, CD-ROM drives, scanners, tape backups, removable media
drives, etc.). Ultra 160 is a new generation of SCSI technology that
expands SCSI performance from 80 MBytes/sec to 160 MBytes/ sec. Up
to a total of 15 SCSI devices can be connected to each of the SCSI connectors.
The AIC-7899 combines this Ultra 160 SCSI technology with Adaptec.s
SpeedFlex. technology. SpeedFlex allows the Adaptec SCSI card to be
backwards compatible with previous generations of SCSI products, while
allowing newer Ultra 160 SCSI devices to operate at the higher 160
MBytes/sec rate.
There are 3 SCSI connectors on the CPU card: CN50 and CN51 for Ultra
160 devices, and CN52 for 50-pin SCSI devices. You can use Ultra 160
and Ultra wide devices simultaneously without compromising the performance.
If you need to configure the SCSI, the onboard SCSI Select configuration
utility allows you to change host adapter settings without opening the
computer or handling the board. The SCSI Select utility also contains a
utility to low-level format and verifies the disk media on your hard disk
drives.
Note: If any peripheral is running at SE mode, the
Ultra 160 SCSI segment will run at speeds up to
40 MBytes/sec only instead of 160 MBytes/sec.
PCA-6002-B User’s Manual 80
9.2 Understanding SCSI
SCSI (pronounced scuzzy) stands for Small Computer Systems Interface.
SCSI is an industry standard computer interface for connecting SCSI
devices to a common SCSI bus.
A SCSI bus is an electrical pathway that consists of a SCSI interface
installed in a computer and one or more SCSI devices. SCSI cables are
used to connect the devices to the SCSI interface. For the SCSI bus to
function properly, a unique SCSI ID must be assigned to the SCSI interface and each SCSI device connected to it, and the SCSI bus must be
properly terminated.
9.3 SCSI IDs
Each device attached to the SCSI bus, as well as the SCSI controller
itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 15. A SCSI
ID uniquely identifies each SCSI device on the SCSI bus and determines
priority when two or more devices are trying to use the SCSI bus at the
same time.
Refer o the device.s documentation to set the SCSI ID. Here are some
general guidelines for SCSI IDs:
• For internal SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set by configuring a
jumper on the device.
• For external SCSI devices, the SCSI ID usually is set with a swetch on
the back of the device.
• SCSI ID numbers don.t have to sequential, as long as the SCSI control-
ler and each device has a different number.
• For example, you can have an internal SCSI device with ID 0, and an
external SCSI device with ID 6.
• SCSI ID 7 has the highest priority on the SCSI bus. The priority of the
remaining IDs, in descending order, is 6 to 0, then 15 to 8.
• The on-boards SCSI interface is preset to SCSI ID 7 and should not be
changed. This gives it the highest priority on the SCSI bus.
• Most internal SCSI hard disk drives come from the factory pre-set to
SCSI ID 0.
• If you have 8-bit (or Narrow) SCSI devices, they must use SCSI IDs 0,
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. SCSI ID 0 is recommended for the first SCSI hard
disk drive.
81 Chapter 9
• If you are booting your computer from a SCSI hard disk drive con-
nected to the SCSI bus, the Boot SCSI ID setting in the SCSISelect
utility must correspond to the SCSI ID of the device from which you
are booting. By default, the Boot SCSI ID is set to 0. We recommend
that you do not change this setting.
9.4 Terminating the SCSI Bus
To ensure reliable communication on the SCSI bus, the ends of the SCSI
bus must be properly terminated. This is accomplished when the device at
the end of the each cable, or the end of the cable itself, has a terminator
installed (or enabled). Terminators must be removed, or termination must
be disabled, on devices between the ends of each cable.
Since the method for terminating a SCSI device can vary widely, refer to
the device.s documentation for instructions on how to enable or disable
termination. Here are some general guidelines for termination:
• Internal Ultra 160 and Ultra 2 SCSI devices come from the factory with
termination disabled and cannot be changed. Proper termination for
internal Ultra 160 and Ultra2 SCSI devices is provided by a 68-pin
Internal LVD (low voltage differential) SCSI cable, which has a builtin terminator at its end.
• Termination on non-Ultra 160 and Ultra2 internal SCSI devices usually
is controlled by manually setting a jumper or a switch on the device, or
by physically removing or installing one or more resistor modules on
the device.
• Termination on most external SCSI devices is controlled by installing
or removing a SCSI terminator. However, termination on some external SCSI devices is enable or disabled by setting a switch on the back
of the SCSI device.
The last external Ultra160 or Ultra2 SCSI device must be terminated with
an LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended) terminator plug to
ensure that the device will operate at its maximum speed. If you use a different kind of terminator plug, the data I/O rate will decrease.
By default, termination on the SCSI controller itself is set to Automatic
(the preferred method). We recommend that you do not change this
default setting.
PCA-6002-B User’s Manual 82
9.5 Configuring the SCSI interface with SCSISelect
SCSISelect, included with the CPU card, enables you to change SCSI settings without opening the computer. SCSISelect also enables you to lowlevel format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard disk drives. The
following table lists the available and default settings for each SCSISelect
option.
Note: The default settings are appropriate for most
systems. Run SCSISelect if you need to
change or view current settings, or if you would
like to run the SCSI disk utilities.

9.6 Starting SCSISelect
Follow these steps to start SCSISelect:
1. Turn on or restart your system. During the startup process, pay
careful attention to the messages that appear on your screen.
2. When the following message appears on your screen, press the
Ctrl-A keys simultaneously (this message appears for only a few
seconds): Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility!
3. From the menu that appears, use the arrow keys to move the cursor
to the option you want to select, then press ENTER.
Note: If you have difficulty viewing the display, press
F5 to toggle between color and monochrome
modes. (This feature may not work on some
monitors.)
Exiting SCSISelect
Follow these steps to exit SCSISelect:
1. Press ESC until a message prompts you to exit (if you changed any
settings, you are prompted to save the changes before you exit.)
At the prompt, select YES to exit, then press any key to reboot the computer. Any changes you made in SCSISelect take effect after the computer boots.

Using SCSISelect Settings
To select an option, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the option,
then press ENTER. In some cases, selecting an option displays another
many. You can return to the previous menu at any time by pressing ESC.
To restore the original SCSISelect default values, press F6 from the main
SCSISelect screen
SCSI Bus Interface Definitions
• Host Adapter SCSI ID-(Default: 7) Sets the SCSI ID for the SCSI
controller. The Adaptec SCSI controller AIC-7899 is set at 7, which
gives t the highest priority on the SCSI bus. We recommend that you
do not change this setting.
• SCSI Parity Checking-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, veri-
fies the accuracy of data transfer on the SCSI bus. Leave this setting
enabled unless any SCSI device does not support SCSI parity.
• Host Adapter SCSI Termination-(Default: Automatic) Determines
the termination setting for the SCSI card. The default setting for both
the LVD/SE (low voltage differential/single ended) connectors and SE
connectors is Automatic, which allows the SCSI card to adjust the termination as needed depending on the configuration of the connected
SCSI devices. We recommend that you do not change these settings.
Boot Device Options
• Boot SCSI ID-(Default: 0) Specifies the SCSI ID of your boot
device. We recommend that you don’t t change the default setting.
• Boot LUN Number-(Default: 0) Specifies which LUN (Logical Unit
Number) to boot from on your boot device. This setting is not valid
unless Multiple LUN Support is Enabled
SCSI Device Configuration
SCSI Device Configuration options can be set individually for each connected SCSI device.
Note: To configure settings for a SCSI device, you
must know it.s SCSI ID
• Sync Transfer Rate-(Default: 160) Determines the maximum syn-
chronous data transfer rate that the SCSI card supports. Use the maximum value of 160 MBytes/sec.
PCA-6002-B User’s Manual 86
• Initiate Wide Negotiation-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI
card attempts 16-bit data transfer (wide negotiation.) When set to No,
the SCSI card uses 8-bit data transfer unless the SCSI device requests
wide negotiation.
Note: Set Initiate Wide Negotiation to NO if you are
using an 8-bit SCSI device that hangs or exhibits other performance problems with 16-bit data
transfer rate enabled.
• Enable Disconnection-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, allows the
SCSI device to disconnect from the SCSI bus. Leave the setting at
Yes if two or more SCSI device is connected, changing the setting to
No results in slightly better performance.
• Send Start Unit Command-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the Start
Unit Command is sent to the SCSI device at bootup.
The following three options have no effect if the SCSI Card BIOS is disabled. (The SCSI Cards BIOS is normally enabled by default.)
• Enable Write Back Cache-(Default: N/C) Can be used to enable or
disable the write-back cache on SCSI disk drives connected to the host
adapter. Leave this option at its default setting of N/C (no change),
which usually allow for optimum drive performance.
• BIOS Multiple LUN Support-(Default: No) Leave this setting at No if
the device does not have multiple Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs.)
When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS provides boot support for a SCSI
device with multiple LUNs (for example, a CD juke box. device in
which multiple CDs can be accessed simultaneously.)
• Include in BIOS Scan-(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI card
BIOS includes the device as part of its BIOS scan at bootup.
Advanced Configuration Options
Note: Do not change the Advanced Configuration
Options unless absolutely necessary.
• Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization-(Default: Enabled) When set to
Enabled, the SCSI card generates a SCSI bus reset during its power-on
initialization and after a hard reset.
87 Chapter 9
• Display <Ctrl> <A> Messages during BIOS Initialization-(Default:
Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS displays the Press
<Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! message on your screen during system bootup. If this setting disabled, you can still invoke the
SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS
banner appears.
• Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte-(Default:
Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation
scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte.
This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not
required for other operating systems, such as NetWare of UNIX.
Caution: Changing the translation scheme destroys all
data on the drive. Be sure to back your disk
drives before changing the translation scheme.
Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk laster than 1GByte
controlled by the SCSI card BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, or
Windows 95/98.
• Verbose/Silent Mode-(Default: Verbose) When set to Verbose, the
SCSI card BIOS displays the host adapter model on the screen during
system buildup. When set to Silent, the message is not displayed during bootup.
• Host Adapter BIOS (Configuration Utility Reserves BIOS Space)-
(Default: Enabled) Enables or disables the SCSI card BIOS.
• Leave at Enabled to allow the SCSI card BIOS to scan and initialize all
SCSI devices.
• Set to Disabled: Not scan if the devices on the SCSI bus (for example,
CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need
the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.
• Set to Disabled: Scan Bus if you do not need the BIOS, but you want it
to scan the SCSI devices on the bus and you need to spin up the
devices.
The following four options have no effect when the SCSI Card BIOS is
disabled. (The SCSI Card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)
• Domain Validation.(Default: Enabled) Determines the optimal trans-
fer rate for each device on the SCSI bus and sets transfer rates accordingly. Displays the resulting data transfer rate.
