BUILT-IN SYMBIOS SCSI BIOS
To provide easy to use and cost effective support for adapters using or compatible
with the Symbios Logic 53C8XX SCSI chips, this mainboard features built-in
Symbios SCSI BIOS.
In most cases you should not need to change the default configuration of your host
adapter. You may decide to alter these default values if there is a conflict between
device settings, or if you need to optimize system performance. A message appears
on your computer monitor (for about 5 seconds) during boot that looks like this:
Press Crtl-C to start Symbios Configuration Utility
If you decide to press Ctrl-C during boot, the following message appears:
Please wait, invoking Symbios Configuration Utility …
After a brief pause, your computer will display the Main Menu of the utility.
The Symbios SCSI Configuration Utility
This menu driven utility allows you to view and change the default configuration
settings for host adapters using Symbios 53C8XX chips.
Note:
Pressing
Ctrl-A
after memory count during re-boot allows you to recover the
default settings and reconfigure.
The following tables list the configuration settings you can change:
•
Global: Affects both the adapter and all SCSI devices
•
Device: Affects only the individual SCSI devices
