Starting the SCSISelect Utility
You can start the SCSISelect utility by pressing Ctrl-A
when the following prompt appears at boot time:
Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility!
The first menu that appears displays the options
Configure/View Host Adapter Settings and SCSI
Disk Utilities.
Using SCSISelect Menus
SCSISelect uses menus to list options you can select.
To select an option, use the
↑
and
↓
keys to move the
cursor to the option, then press Enter.
In some cases, selecting an option displays another
menu. You can return to the previous menu at any
time by pressing Esc. To restore the original SCSISelect
default values, press F6. To toggle the display
between color and monochrome modes, press F5 (this
feature may not work on some kinds of monitors).
Exiting SCSISelect
To exit SCSISelect, press Esc until a message prompts
you to exit (if you changed any AHA-2940/2940W
settings, you are prompted to save the changes
before you exit). At the prompt, select Yes to exit,
then press any key to reboot the computer. Any
changes you made in SCSISelect take effect after the
computer boots.
Using the SCSI Disk Utilities
To access the SCSI disk utilities, select the SCSI Disk
Utilities
option from the menu that appears after start-
ing SCSISelect. Once the option is selected, SCSISelect
immediately scans the SCSI bus and displays a list of
all SCSI IDs and the devices assigned to each ID.
When you select a specific ID and device, a small
menu appears, displaying the options Format Disk
and Verify Disk Media.
■
Format Disk
—This utility allows you to perform
a low-level format on a hard disk drive. Most
SCSI disk devices are preformatted at the factory
and do not need to be formatted again. The
Adaptec Format Disk utility is compatible with
the vast majority of SCSI disk drives.
