3-2 Configuring the SYM8953U Host Adapter
There are four sets of configurations you can change. You make changes
on subordinate menus called from the Main Menu, which is opened when
you start the Configuration Menu. The subordinate menus are listed
below.
•
Adapter properties
•
Device properties
•
Adapter boot list
•
Global properties
All these properties are controlled by menus you access through the
configuration utility Main Menu. The Main Menu also gives an overview
of some properties of installed Symbios host adapter boards.
3.1.1 Starting the Configuration Utility
You can see the version number of your Symbios SCSI BIOS in a banner
displayed on your computer monitor during boot. If the utility is available,
the following message also appears on your monitor:
Press Ctrl-C to start Symbios Configuration Utility...
This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you
time to start the utility. If you decide to press “Ctrl-C,” the message
changes to:
Please wait, invoking Symbios Configuration Utility...
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the
Symbios SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.
These messages may appear during the boot process:
•
“ Adapter removed from boot order, parameters will be
updated accordingly ” appears when an adapter is removed from
the system or relocated behind a PCI bridge.
•
“ Configuration data invalid, saving default
configuration! ” appears if none of the information in the NVRAM
is valid.
•
“ Found SCSI Controller not in following Boot Order List,
