Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

3-3

Important:

This SCSI BIOS Configuration 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.

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. The device manufacturer provides
the device drivers.

3.2.1 Configuration Utility Main Menu

When you start the Symbios SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the Main
Menu appears. This menu displays a list of up to four Symbios PCI to
SCSI host adapters in your system and information about each of them.
The SYM22801 host adapter appears on the menu as two SYM53C875
entries; one for each channel. 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.

Here is an example of the Main Menu:
