ExpressPCI Windows 2k & NT Registry Settings
---------- ------- -- - -- -------- --------
CAUTION - Modifying your registry incorrectly may result in making your machine
unbootable. Please use care in editing the registry. This should only be
performed by users experienced with the registry editor.
NOTE - Some of the following requires knowledge of hexadecimal arithmetic and
a sense for basic SCSI command processing. For most users, the defaults
set by the adapter driver installation .INF file will suffice. "If it ain't
broke, don't fix it!"
A registry entry can be used to control various parameters and settings used
to control the initialization and operation of the ExpressPCI adapter. A String
Value named DriverParameters can be added under the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Express\Parameters\Device.
This string value may contain settings for the following parameters:
PCILatency - Specifies the PCI Latency Timer value in units of PCI
bus clocks. Values can range from 1 - 248 (0x01 - 0xf8).
If any other value is specified, the ExpressPCI driver
will use the default value of 248.
The value in the Registry entry consists of a series of specifications of the
form <parameter_name>=<value>, where <parameter_name> is one of the above
parameter names, and <value> is specified in either decimal (default) or in
hex by specifying the usual 0x in front of it. Multiple parameter name/value
pairs are separated by semicolons.
