SCSI Timeout Executable
[0–9999] Indicates the maximum allowable time for completion of a SCSI
operation in seconds. Since timeouts provide a safeguard that
allows the system to recover should an operation fail, LSI Logic
recommends that a value greater than zero be used. A value of
zero allows unlimited time for an operation to complete and could
result in the system hanging (waiting forever) should an operation
fail.
Note: This field is executable and must be selected with the Enter
key. You also input the new value with the number keys from either
the keyboard or number pad.
Queue Tags Configuration
[On/Off] Indicates whether to allow the use of queue tags for a device.
Currently the BIOS does not use queue tags. This item specifies
queue tag control to higher level device drivers.
Boot Choice Configuration
[Yes/No] Indicates whether this device can be selected as the boot device.
This option is only applicable to devices attached to adapter
number zero in the boot list on non-BBS systems. It provides
primitive BBS flexibility to non-BBS systems.
Format Executable Allows low-level formatting on a disk drive, if enabled. Low-level
formatting will completely and irreversibly erase all data on the
drive. To low level format a device, select the device from the
menu and use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the Format
column. Press Enter.
Note: Formatting will default the drive to a 512-byte sector size
even if the drive had previously been formatted to another sector
size.
Verify Executable Allows verification of all sectors on a device and reassigns
defective Logical Block Addresses (LBAs), if enabled. To verify all
sectors, select the device from the menu and use the arrow keys
to move the cursor to the Verify column. Press Enter.
Restore
Defaults Executable Press Enter to obtain default settings.
