As many asseven 8-bit devices can be installed on each channel.• Multi-threading support for up to 255 simultaneous I/O tasks• Advanced SCSI I/O cell ensuring data integrity by automaticallyand continuously adjusting slew rate to compensate for SCSI busloading• Driver support for all major operating systems.System jumpersThese jumpers allow you to set certain characteristics of the system. Somejumpers are reserved and are not described in this section. Do not changeany jumper unless it is necessary to configure the system. In some cases,changing the settings of reserved jumpers can cause damage to the systemboard. For instructions on setting the jumpers on the system board, see“Setting system board jumpers” on page 32.SHM mode jumper (J)This jumper indicates whether the system is a tower unit or rack mounted.The system hardware manager (SHM) software checks this jumper todetermine the characteristics of the system.Clear CMOS jumper (Z)This jumper allows you to clear the CMOS memory. You should only dothis if you cannot access the normal methods of modifying the CMOS andmodifications to the CMOS are necessary. Clearing CMOS memoryreturns all BIOS Setup settings to the default values.Processor speed setting jumper (BB)This jumper allows you to set the speed of the processor. Both processors,in dual processor configurations, must have the same speed rating. Ifprocessors of different speeds are used in the same system, the processorsmust run at the speed of the slower processor.
