The following options have no effect if the SCSI card BIOS is disabled. (The SCSI card BIOS is normally
enabled by default.)
Domain Validation
- (Default: Enabled) Determines the optimal transfer rate for each device on the
SCSI bus and sets transfer rates accordingly. When enabled, this option sis available if it is
implemented in the device drivers. However, this option is not supported bye the BIOS.
Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks
- (Default: Disabled) Determines which
removable-media drives are supported bye the SCSI card BIOS. The options are as follows..
Disabled
- No removable-media drives running under DOS are treated as disk drives.
Software drivers are required because the drives are not controlled by the BIOS.
Boot Only
- Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot device is treated as a
disk drive.
All Disks
- All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are treated as disk drives.
BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM
- (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card
BIOS allows the system to boot from CD-ROM drive.
SCSI Disk Utilities
SCSI Disk Utilities scan the SCSI bus to recognize the installed SCSI devices, and displays all
SCSI IDs and devices allocated to the IDs. In addition, the utilities can perform low-level format on
hard disk drives, and check the drives.
Format Disk
- Performs a low-level format on a hard disk drive. Most SCSI disk drives are preformatted
at the factory and do not needs to be low-level format again.
Verify Disk Media
- Scans and checks the media of a hard disk drive for defects. If the utility finds bad
blocks on the media, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select yes, those blocks are no longer used.
You can press Esc at any time to abort the utility.
