Changes to the wide data bit setting and/or synchronous rate can be
made during this testing to ensure functionality. These settings can also
be saved in a similar way as when doing the configuration settings. The
difference when saving these new values during Domain Validation
testing is that they are in effect immediately, and no system reboot is
necessary.
Important: The companion product to the NT Configuration Utility is
the Domain Validation Utility, which monitors the
SYM_U3.SYS miniport driver. Refer to Section 4.7, “Using
the Domain Validation Utility,” for more information.
4.6.1 Installing the NT Configuration Utility (x86 Platforms)
You execute an InstallShield program to install the NT Configuration Utility.
Use the SDMS Software Device Drivers and Utilities CD-ROM that
contains the InstallShield program to perform the installation.
Run the SETUP.EXE program directly from:
{CD-ROM Drive Letter}: \UTILITY\WINDOWS\NTCONFIG\I386
A shortcut icon appears automatically on the desktop after installation.
4.6.2 Starting the NT Configuration Utility
To start the NT Configuration Utility, double click on the shortcut icon.
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of this
utility.
To make changes with this menu-driven utility, one or more LSI Logic
SCSI host adapters installed in the system must have NVRAM to store
the changes. Also, due to Windows NT constraints, each of the adapters
must have at least one hard drive attached to it so that NT Configuration
can properly identify the adapter.
Important: The NT Configuration Utility is a powerful tool. The system
can be rendered inoperable if care is not taken when
reconfiguring the parameters.
4.6.2.1 Main Menu
After starting the NT Configuration Utility, the Main menu appears and
