Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

3-3

NonVolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) is available on the
LSIU80ALVD. Changes can be made and stored using this menu driven
utility.

Important:

This utility is a powerful tool. If, while using it, you somehow
disable all of your controllers, pressing Ctrl-A (or Ctrl-E on
version 4.04 or later) after memory initialization during
reboot allows you to re-enable and reconfigure.

Note:

Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be
controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and
scanners require that a device driver specific to that
peripheral be loaded. This device driver is provided by the
device manufacturer.

Configuration Utility Main Menu

When you start the LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the Main
Menu appears. This menu displays a list of up to four LSI Logic PCI to
SCSI host adapters and information about each of them. To select an
adapter, use only the arrow keys and enter key. Then, you can view
and/or change the current settings for that adapter and the SCSI devices
attached to it.

You can select an adapter only if Current Status is “On”. Changes are
possible since NVRAM is present on this host adapter.
