Controller Configuration

The Controller Configuration section allows a user to change SCSI and controller specific options. The following table
lists the available and default settings for each SCSISelect option. For dual channel cards, the settings marked as Auto-
sync are automatically synchronized for both SCSI channels—for example, if you change the Boot Channel option to
B First on Channel A, the change will apply to Channel B as well. All other options can be set separately for each of
the two SCSI channels.

The default settings are appropriate for most systems and should not be changed. Run SCSISelect if you need to
change or view current settings, or if you need to use the SCSI disk utilities. See "

Using SCSISelect Settings

" for

descriptions of each option.
