Command line options for the MPT HAM driver: Notes: 1) All entries are case-insensitive, intermix upper/lower case in any way. 2) Several of the commands listed below have aliases, that is, different spelling of the same command will cause the same operation. This is shown in duplicate next to the command listed, for example help h ? This means that the "help" command can be invoked by either "help", "h" or "?" as the exact equivalent of entering "help". 3) For backwards compatability, any of the commands can be preceeded by a minus (dash) "-", forward slash "/", or backward slash "\" character. 4) Multiple commands for the same adapter are specified on the command line seperated by a space " ". Syntax: command Option requires no parameters. Example: help command=value Option is set to specified value. "value" is an alphanumeric token valid for a particular command. Example: verbose=off command=value[range] command=value[range],value[range] ... command=value[range1][range2] command=value[range1][range2],value[range1][range2] ... command=value[range1][range2],value[range],value[range1][range2] ... Option values apply to the specified range of objects. "[range]" is the target id list for a particular command. "[range1][range2]" is a target id list followed by a LUN list. this specification is only valid for the scan command. Range may consist of a list of single numbers (e.g. 3) and a range of numbers (e.g., 0-2) separated by commas. Example: dv=off[5,6] wide=8[5] scan=[0-15][0] scan=[0-4][0-7],[5-15][0-31] Options: elevator elev Set elevator threshold level. Syntax: elevator=value Parameters: 0-255, 0 disables, default 32 Example: elev=12 events Disabled Event Notification in the driver. Syntax: events=value Parameters: on, off, default on Example: events=off handles handle hdl Defines the maximum number of bus/device/target handles. Larger configurations should increase this value to the total number of bus/target/device(s) in a system. Syntax: handles=value Parameters: 50-65535, default 144 Example: hdl=200 help h ? Displays text describing all commands. Syntax: help Parameters: N/A Example: /h help <command> h <command> ? <command> displays the help text for only the specified command Example: ? scan mintimeout mint Set minimum device SCSI command timeout in seconds. Syntax: mintimeout=value[TargetIdRange] Parameters: 0-1200 seconds, 0 no minimum, default 0 [TargetIdRange] 0-15 Example: mint=20[4] qtags qtag tag Enable or disable use of simple/ordered tagged command queueing. Syntax: qtags=value[TargetIdRange] Parameters: value on = tagged queueing enabled off = tagged queueing disabled [TargetIdRange] 0-15 Example: tag=off[0,3,8-15] scan Specify target and LUN bus scan order. Syntax: scan=[TargetIdRange][LunIdRange],[TargetIdRange][LunIdRange] ... Parameters: [TargetIdRange] 0-15 [LunIdRange] 0-31, default 0-31 default is to scan for LUN 0-31 on all targets in order 0-15 [0-15][0-31] Example: scan=[0-4,8-15][0-7] scan=[0-4,8-15][0-7],[6,7][0,3-5] Note: When this command is used, you must specify the entire scan order because it completly overrides the default scan order. Only the target/LUN combinations specified in the scan parameters will be included in the scan. Only one "scan" command per adapter. slot Specifies PCI Slot Number for a driver instance. Syntax: slot=value Parameters: 0-1000000, slot numbers are assigned by the OS, no default Example: -slot=102 synchronous speed sync syn Set synchronous transfer rate for specified target(s). Value is in mega-transfers per second. 160 mb/sec and 320 mb/sec require wide bus. Syntax: synchronous=value[TargetIdRange] Parameters: value 0 = asynchronous 5 = 5 mt/sec 10 = 10 mt/sec 20 = 20 mt/sec 40 = 40 mt/sec 80 = 80 mt/sec 160 = 160 mt/sec OFF = asynchronous ASYNC = asynchronous MAX = Adapter maximum rate Example: speed=40[0,15] verbose v Specifies the level of information display. Syntax: verbose=value Parameters: on, off, default off Example: v=off wide width wid Specifies bus width negotiations for target(s). Syntax: wide=value[TargetIdRange] Parameters: value 8 = 8 bit data bus 16 = 16 bit data bus narrow = 8 bit data bus wide = 16 bit data bus max = Adapter maximum width Example: wid=max[5]Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
