The following is the contents of the README file on the Options/Configuration
v2.43 diskette which includes all .ADF and .CFG files. This diskette is
available for download in a self-extracting archive file called
confg243.exe.
Dot Hill EISA/ISA/MICRO CHANNEL HOST ADAPTER CONFIGURATIONS FILES
Version 2.43 Configuration Files -- August 28, 1996
*****************************************************************************
RELEASE NOTE:
When using the SDC-3222WB host adapter, it will be necessary to
copy the BUS4292.OVL file from the Option/Configuration diskette
to the system EISA configuration diskette or hard drive protected
partition in order to run the utilities directly from the diskette
or protected partition. This .OVL or overlay file is necessary to
properly identify and configure the host adapter during the
configuration process.
*****************************************************************************
On this diskette are all of the ".cfg" and ".adf" files needed to configure
our SCSI host adapter boards into EISA, ISA and Micro Channel computers.
Follow your computer configuration procedures. Each new board needs a
configuration file when it is installed. This diskette supplies those files.
1. The configuration file changes made in this release were:
A. Added ADP7770.OVL. This file is required by the !ADP7771.CFG file to
config the SDC 3222WA and SDC 3222WDA controllers.
2. This diskette contains the Configuration files for all Dot Hill
Host Adapter Boards. The file names associated with
each board are as follows:

3. Each host adapter board (see item 4. for MicroChannel boards) has
three files associated with it. Each file uses the same file name with
a different file extension. For example, the files associated with the
SDC3222W are:
!BUS4291.cfg -- this file is the one to be used with the user's EISA
configuration utility. It contains the factory set defaults for the
most commonly used board configuration options.
!BUS4291.std -- when the user receives the configuration diskette, the
"!BUS4291.std" file is identical to the "!BUS4291.cfg" file. In some
cases the user may change the"!BUS4291.cfg" file. For example, SDI
Technical Support may instruct a user to copy the "!BUS4281.all" file
to the "!BUS4281.cfg" file. This may be done to allow access to a
parameter not normally configured for the board. For the user to return
to the factory default configuration options, the user can copy
"!BUS4218.std" to "!BUS4218.cfg", then run the EISA configuration
utility.
!BUS4281.all -- this file contains all possible board configuration
options. The "!BUS4281.cfg" and "!BUS4281.std" files contain the most
commonly used subset of the board configuration options. To gain access
to the full set of board configuration options, the user can copy
"!BUS4218.all" to "!BUS4218.cfg", then run the EISA configuration
utility.
Note: -- it is recommended that only experienced EISA system users work
with the full set of configuration options.
4. Each MicroChannel board has three files associated with it. Each file
uses the same file name with a different file extension. For example,
the three files associated with the SDC3211B are:
@0708.adf -- this file is the one to be used when the Reference Disk is
booted and the configuration utility is run. It contains the factory set
defaults for the most commonly used board configuration options.
@0708.std -- when the user receives the configuration diskette, the
"@0708.std" file is identical to the "@0708.cfg" file. In some cases the
user may change the "@0708.cfg" file. For example, SDI Technical Support
may instruct a user to copy the "@0708.all" file to the "@0708.cfg" file.
This may be done to allow access to a parameter not normally configured
for the board. For the user to return to the factory default configuration
options, the user can copy "@0708.std" to "@0708.cfg", then boot the
Reference Disk and run the configuration utility.
@0708.all -- this file contains all possible board configuration options.
The "@0708.cfg" and "@0708.std" files contain the most commonly used
subset of the board configuration options. To gain access to the full
set of board configuration options, the user can copy "!BUS4218.all" to
"!BUS4218.cfg", then boot the Reference Disk and run the configuration
utility.
Note: -- it is recommended that only experienced Microchannel system
users work with the full set of configuration options.
5. It is recommended that you configure our ISA config file when you add one
of the Dot Hill ISA boards in an EISA PC. By doing this, the
EISA configuration utility will be able to check for a resource conflict
with the ISA as well as EISA boards in the PC. The list below is a list
of Dot Hill ISA boards:
SDI MODEL -- DESCRIPTION CONFIG FILE NAME
SDC 1602 -- 16 bit ISA bus to SCSI bus !ISAE601
SDC 1602B -- 16 bit ISA bus to SCSI bus !ISAE604
SDC 1602F -- 16 bit ISA bus to FAST SCSI bus !ISAE605
SDC 1632 -- 16 bit ISA bus to ESDI disk bus !ISAE603
