The SCSISelect Utility
The BIOS for the integrated Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller includes the menu-driven SCSISelect configuration utility, which allows you to change SCSI
controller settings without opening the system. 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-7899 SCSI controller are shown in Table C-3 . These default settings are appropriate for most 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."
NOTE: To change the configuration settings, you must run the SCSISelect Utility.
NOTE: If the host adapter does not control the bootable hard-disk drive, you may want to disable its BIOS.
