To partition a disk larger than 1Gbyte controlled by the SCSI interface
BIOS, use the MS-DOS
Fdisk
command.
CAUTION: Back up your disk drives before changing the translation
scheme.
Host Adapter BIOS (Configuration Utility Reserves BIOS Space):
Enables or disables the SCSI interface BIOS.
Set to Enable if you boot from a SCSI disk drive connected to the
SCSI interface.
Set to Disable if the peripherals on the SCSI bus (for example,
CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need
the BIOS.
Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks: Determines
which removable-media drives are supported by the SCSI card BIOS.
Choices are as follows:
Boot Only: Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot
device is treated as a hard disk drive.
All disks: All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are
treated as hard disk drives.
Disabled: No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk
drives. Software drivers are required because the drives are not
controlled by the BIOS.
CAUTION: Do not remove a removable-media cartridge from a SCSI
drive controlled by the SCSI interface BIOS while the drive is on. You
may lose data. To allow removability of the media while the drive is on,
install the removable-media software driver and set Support Removable
Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks to Disabled.
Display <Ctrl><A> Messages during BIOS Initialization:
When set to
Enable , the SCSI card BIOS displays the
Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect
™ Utility! Messages on your screen during system bootup. If this setting is
disabled, you can invoke the SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl><A>
after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears.
BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROMs:
When set to
Enable
, the SCSI
interface BIOS supports Int 13h extensions as required by Plug-and-Play.
The setting can be either enabled or disabled if your system is not
Plug-and-Play.
