Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

3-9

Host SCSI ID – This option refers to the host adapter’s SCSI ID, which
is a unique number used to identify the device on the SCSI bus.

Note:

In general, it is suggested that you do not change your host
adapter ID from the default value of 7, as this gives it the
highest priority on the SCSI bus.

Scan Order – This option allows the user to tell the SCSI BIOS and
device drivers to scan the SCSI bus from low to high (0 to max) SCSI
ID, or from high to low (max to 0) SCSI ID. If you have more than one
device on the SCSI bus, changing the scan order changes the order in
which drive letters are assigned by the system. Drive order may be
reassigned differently in systems supporting the BIOS Boot Specification
(BBS).

See the PCI Storage Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User’s
Guide,
Chapter 2 “SCSI BIOS” for additional information regarding BBS.

Note:

The scan order option may conflict with operating systems
that automatically assign a drive order.

Removable Media Support – This option defines the removable media
support for a specific drive. When this option is selected, a window
appears with three choices:

None

Boot Drive Only

With Media Installed

None indicates there is no removable media support whether the
drive is selected in BBS as being first, or first in scan order in
non-BBS.

Boot Drive Only provides removable media support for a removable
hard drive if it is first in the scan order.

With Media Installed provides removable media support wherever
the drive(s) actually resides.

One of these choices can be selected by highlighting it and pressing
Enter.
