Symbios SCSI Configuration Utility
This mainboard features built-in Symbios SCSI BIOS. The
Symbios SCSI
Configuration Utility
is a menu driven utility that allows you to view and change
the default configuration settings for host adapters using Symbios 53C8XX chips.
In most cases you should not need to change the default configuration of your host
adapter. You may decide to alter these default values if there is a conflict between
device settings, or if you need to optimize system performance. A message appears
on your computer monitor (for about 5 seconds) during boot that looks like this:
Press Crtl-C to start Symbios Configuration Utility
If you decide to press Ctrl-C during boot, the following message appears:
Please wait, invoking Symbios Configuration Utility …
After a brief pause, your computer will display the Main Menu of the utility.
Note:
Pressing
Ctrl-A
after memory count during re-boot allows you to recover the
default settings and reconfigure.
DMI Utility
This mainboard supports the
Desktop Management Interface (DMI)
, which is a
new method of providing enterprise management for personal computers. The
main component of DMI is the Management Information Format Database (MIF),
which contains information about the computer system and its components, such as
BIOS version/vendor, CPU speed/type, memory size/type, L1/L2 cache, port
connectors (IDE, floppy, 2S/1P, USB, keyboard, mouse, ), slots … etc. Using DMI,
remote PC management software is able to obtain various information about the
system, including hardware profiles, capabilities, operational status, installation
dates, and other information about the system and its components.
This DMI utility, DMICFG.EXE (found under “Utilities” folder of the supplied
CD-ROM), allows you to add additional information, such as serial numbers,
vendor information, and enclosure/chassis configurations, into the MIF.
