The SCSISelect Utility
The BIOS for the integrated Adaptec AIC-7899 and AIC-7880 SCSI controllers includes the menu-driven SCSISelect configuration utility, which
allows you to change SCSI controller settings without opening the computer. SCSISelect also contains SCSI disk utilities that let you low-level
format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard-disk drives.
SCSISelect Default Settings
Default settings for the integrated AIC-7880 SCSI controller are shown in Table 1 and for the integrated AIC-7899 SCSI controller are shown in
Table 2 . These default settings are appropriate for most Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) systems. Run SCSISelect only if you need to
change any of the default settings.
For situations in which you might want or need to change the settings, see the descriptions of each setting in the following subsections. To change
any of the default settings or to format or verify a disk, see "
Starting the SCSISelect Utility ."
Table 1. AIC-7880 SCSI Controller Settings
NOTE: For the full name of an abbreviation or acronym used in this table, see the " Glossary ."
Table 2. AIC-7899 SCSI Controller Settings
NOTES: To change the configuration settings, you must run the SCSISelect Utility twice—once for the AIC-7899 SCSI controller and
once for the AIC-7880 SCSI controller.
The term host adapter is used throughout this file to refer to the integrated AIC-7899 and AIC-7880 SCSI controllers.
If the AIC-7899 controller card does not control the bootable hard-disk drive, you may want to disable its BIOS. Do not disable the BIOS
for the AIC-7880 controller card, because the card controls the CD-ROM drive.
