SCSISelect Utility
Configuring the Host Adapter
The SCSISelect configuration utility allows you to change
host adapter and SCSI settings without having to open
the computer or handle the adapter. SCSISelect also con-
tains utilities that allow you to low-level format or verify
the disk media of your SCSI hard disk drives.
The SCSISelect settings are listed in the table below. If
you want to view and/or change the current settings, or
if you would like to format or verify a disk, see Starting
the SCSISelect Utility on this page. Detailed descriptions
of each setting begin on page 9.

Settings take effect only if Host Adapter BIOS is enabled.
Starting the SCSISelect Utility
If the BIOS PROM is enabled, you can start the SCSISelect
utility by pressing Ctrl-A when the following prompt
appears briefly at boot time:
Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility!
The first menu that appears displays the options
Configure/View Host Adapter Settings and SCSI Disk
Utilities.
Note:
SCSISelect is also provided on a bootable
diskette. If your system does not allow you to
access SCSISelect by pressing Ctrl-A at boot
time, you can run SCSISelect from this diskette.
To run, simply insert the diskette in a bootable
floppy drive and boot your system. Save this
diskette. You may need it later if you ever lose
access to the BIOS PROM.
Using SCSISelect Menus
SCSISelect uses menus to list options you can select. To
select an option, use the
↑
and
↓
keys to move the cursor
to the option, then press Enter.
In some cases, selecting an option displays another
menu. You can return to the previous menu at any time
by pressing Esc. To restore the original SCSISelect default
values, press F6. To toggle the display between color and
monochrome modes, press F5 (this feature may not work
on all monitors).
