Adapter and Device
Configuration
☛
Note
Host adapter configuration is optional. Under normal
operating conditions, you probably won’t need to
perform any adapter configuration. However, if you
need to adjust the adapter’s configuration, the
AutoSCSI utility provides fast and easy configuration
capabilities.
The BIOS on the PCI motherboard automatically configures the following
parameters at power-up:
• Adapter I/O Port Address (Base Address Registers)
• BIOS Address (ROM Base Address)
• Interrupt Channel (IRQ)
Use AutoSCSI to further configure the FlashPoint adapter to suit your
operating environment.
Bringing Up AutoSCSI
AutoSCSI resides in Read Only Memory (ROM). AutoSCSI is a menu-
driven utility for configuring FlashPoint adapters. In addition to this utilities
simplified configuration, AutoSCSI offers disk utilities.
AutoSCSI is available when the system is first powered up and at every
system reset. Press Ctrl+B at the prompt that follows the BIOS banner.
When invoked, the AutoSCSI window appears showing a selection dialog
box listing the FlashPoint host adapters that are installed in the system (see
Figure 3-1).
