4-30 System Configuration
SCSI BIOS (SCSI
Select
)
The “SCSI Select ” utility makes settings of the SCSI controller on a motherboard. You can start it up
by simple key operation during POST execution without using any special startup disk.
IMPORTANT:
Because the server is installed with the latest version of the SCSI Select utility, your screen
display may be different from the one described in this guide. For information on options
different from those described in this guide, refer to the online help or ask your service agent.
Usage of the SCSI
Select
utility
The SCSI Select utility is activated when you configure the transfer speed of SCSI devices
connected to the server (except hard disk drive), and allows you to make settings.
IMPORTANT:
SCSI configuration must be set by starting up the utility on a SCSI controller basis. The server
is equipped with one SCSI controller. If you have added SCSI controller boards, you need to
make SCSI controller settings as many as the number of added SCSI controller boards in
addition to the configuration for the built-in SCSI controller. The utility used for changing
settings may be different.
