SCSISelect Utility
Your system board includes 2 integrated SCSI host
controllers used to manage SCSI devices in your system.
The AIC7880 wide SCSI controller provides support for
four internally mounted ultra/wide hard disk drives.
The AIC7860 narrow SCSI controller provides support
for internally mounted optional devices as well as
externally connected devices.
The integrated SCSI host controller is configured using
the SCSISelect utility. Use the SCSISelect utility to:
■
Change the SCSI host adapters default values.
■
Check and/or change SCSI device settings for a
particular device.
■
Change the maximum SCSI bus transfer rate.
■
Perform low-level formatting on SCSI disk devices.
■
Perform verify operations on SCSI disk devices.
When disabling access to the SCSISelect Utility, the
SCSISelect utility should be used in conjunction with
the BIOS Setup utility. Changing the BIOS Setup
utility “Allow SCSI Select” parameter to Disabled
prevents the use of the SCSI Select utility via Ctrl-A,
but the “Press <Ctrl-A> for SCSI Select” prompt is still
displayed. Changing the SCSISelect utility “Display
<Ctrl-A> Message During BIOS Initialization”
parameter to Disabled prevents the prompt from being
displayed. In combination these parameters can be used
to prevent access to the SCSISelect utility during boot.
