Dawicontrol DC-2980 U2W SCSI Host Adapter

BASEDEV=DC2980.ADD

Parameter

/PORT=xxx 

If you are working with several SCSI host adapters, type in the adapter number (for PCI host adapters, starting with zero) or the I/O address (for ISA host adapters) as the parameter's attribute. In this case, you will have to start the driver by specifying the adapter number or I/O address resp. for every connected host adapter separately. This parameter is not required if you are working with only one SCSI host adapter.

/PS=x 

This parameter controls the Power Save function by specifying the maximum inactivity period (from 1 to 60 minutes). If the set value is exceeded, any hard disks, removable disks and CD ROM drives will be switched off automatically. The relevant device will be started again when it is accessed later. Not setting this parameter means that the function is disabled.

/ID=x 

x = host adapter's SCSI ID. The SCSI ID of the host adapter will be set automatically if this parameter is not specified. Valid SCSI ID values are 0 to 7. Host adapters supplied with a SCSI setup ignore this parameter and use the setup settings instead.

/LUN 

This parameter enables the device's support of several LUNs (Logical Units). However, most SCSI devices only have LUN 0 available to them so that you will need this parameter only for special cases. Host adapters 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. Host adapters 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. If you do not set this parameter only devices that can switch into synchronous mode themselves will be operated in this mode, all other devices will remain in asynchronous mode.

/!SM=x,..,x 

Use this parameter to specify a list of SCSI IDs representing the devices that are not to be supported by OS/2's Device Manager. As a rule, all connected devices can be controlled by the SCSI Device Manager.

/!DM=x,..,x 

Use this parameter to specify a list of SCSI IDs representing the devices that are not to be supported by OS/2's DASD Manager (Device Manager for disk drives). As a rule, all connected devices can be controlled by DASD Manager.

/Q 

Suppresses all boot screen messages (including error messages) during driver installation.
