The BIOS for the built-in dual Adaptec AIC-7890 and AIC-7860 SCSI controllers
includes the menu-driven SCSI
Select configuration utility, which allows you to change
SCSI controller settings without opening the computer. SCSI
Select also contains SCSI
disk utilities that let you low-level format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard-
disk drives.

The defaults for the optional Adaptec AHA-2940U2W SCSI controller and the built-in
AIC-7890 and AIC-7860 SCSI controllers are shown in Table 3-1. These defaults are
appropriate for most Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) systems. Run
SCSI
Select only if you need to change any of the defaults.
NOTES: The SCSISelect Utility must be run for both the AIC-7890 SCSI controllers
and the AIC-7860 SCSI controller if you need to change the configuration settings.
The term host adapter is used throughout this chapter to refer to the built-in
AIC-7890 and AIC-7860 SCSI controllers or the optional AHA-2940U2W SCSI
controller card.
To change the settings, see the descriptions of each setting in the following subsec-
tions. To change any of the defaults or to format or verify a disk, see “Starting the
SCSI
Select Utility” found later in this chapter.
