4.6 Using the NT Configuration Utility
You may use the NT Configuration Utility to change selected
configuration parameters of LSI Logic SCSI host adapters. You must
have installed Windows NT 4.0 and the latest SDMS Windows NT
driver(s) (
SYMC8XX.SYS , SYM_HI.SYS , or SYM_U3.SYS ) to match your
hardware prior to using this utility. You may decide to alter configuration
values if a conflict exists between device settings or if you need to
optimize system performance. You must reboot the system for the
changes to take effect. During boot, the version number of Windows NT
appears in a banner on the computer monitor.
Important: The NT Configuration Utility may be used with Windows
2000 in conjunction with the following LSI Logic device
drivers:
SYMC8XX.SYS , version 4.16 or later,
SYM_895A.SYS , version 4.16 or later,
SYM_HI.SYS , version 4.16 or later
SYM_U3.SYS , version 5.08 or later
These drivers may be obtained from the LSI Logic Web site
(
www.lsilogic.com) or on the SDMS Software Device
Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM, release 4.8.
Since Windows NT and the SDMS Windows NT drivers do not need the
adapter's BIOS to operate, only a limited number of the configuration
parameters that can be changed by this utility will have any impact on
the system once rebooted. These parameters are:
•
SCSI ID of the adapter
•
Wide data bits setting
•
Synchronous rate (Mbytes/s)
If you have Windows NT 4.0 and are using the SDMS SYM_U3.SYS driver,
the NT Configuration Utility allows you to perform Domain Validation
testing on the installed LSI Logic LSI53C1000 or LSI53C1010 host
adapter and connected devices. This testing verifies that the installed
LSI Logic hardware functions correctly with the configuration information
(synchronous speed and bus width) set through either the SCSI BIOS
Configuration Utility or by using the capabilities of this utility.
