3–Fibre Channel ConfigurationUsing Fast!UTIL for Custom Configuration41 CU0354604-00 PScan Fibre DevicesThe Scan Fibre Devices option scans the Fibre Channel loop and lists all theconnected devices by loop ID. It lists information about each device; for example,vendor name, product name, and revision. This information helps whenconfiguring your 2600 Series Adapter and attached devices.Fibre Disk UtilityThe Fibre Disk Utility option scans the Fibre Channel loop and lists all theconnected devices by loop ID. You can select a Fibre Channel hard disk and doone of the following tasks: Perform a low-level format Verify the disk mediaPort DownRetryCount0–255seconds30secondsThis setting specifies the number of seconds the softwarewaits before resending a command to a port whose statusindicates that the port is down.Link DownTimeout0–255seconds30secondsThis setting specifies the number of seconds the softwarewaits for a link that is down to come up.OperationMode0, 5, 6 6 This setting specifies the reduced interrupt operation (RIO)modes if they are supported by the software driver. The RIOmodes allow posting multiple command completions in asingle interrupt. This setting supports the following modes: 0—Interrupt for every I/O completion 5—Interrupt when the interrupt delay timer expires 6—Interrupt when the interrupt delay timer expires or noactive I/OsInterruptDelayTimer0–255(100μsunits)2 (200μs) This setting contains the value used by a timer to set thewait time before generating an interrupt.EnableInterruptYes, No No This setting enables or disables the interrupt: Yes—This setting enables the BIOS to use the interruptrequest (IRQ) assigned to the 2600 Series Adapter. No—The BIOS polls for the 2600 Series Adapter's RISCcontroller mailbox command completion status.Table 3-3. Advanced Adapter Settings (Continued)Setting Values Default Description
