100 Chapter 5 SCSISelect Utility Verify Disk Media The Verify Disk Media utility scans the selected device's media for defects. If the utility finds bad blocks, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select yes, those blocks will no longer be used. Note: You can press Esc at any time to abort the Verify Disk Media utility. Configuring Multiple SCSI Controllers Note: To use multiple PCI SCSI controllers, do the following: 1. Install the boot SCSI controller in the lowest PCI Device number.The Device number is determined by the slot number on the PCI bus. To find out the Device number of the AHA-3950 U2B SCSI controller(s), run the SCSISelect utility (by pressing the key combination Ctrl + A when it is displayed onscreen at bootup). Look on the first screen of SCSISelect in the upper right hand corner for Bus:Device xx:xxh (given in hex). If the Device number is high, move the AHA-3950 U2B SCSI controller to a PCI slot at the other end of the motherboard and rerun SCSISelect to see if the number is lower This step is a recommended solution for most PCI motherboards. You can also simply switch the AHA-3950 U2B SCSI controller into another PCI slot if the boot order is not what is desired. 2. If you are booting from the AHA-3950 U2B and using ISA/EISA-based host adapters as secondary devices, you must disable the BIOS on all ISA/EISAbased SCSI controllers. 3. If you are booting from ISA/EISA-based SCSI controllers and using the AHA-3950 U2B as a secondary device, see your ISA/EISA-based SCSI controller documentation to ensure the SCSI controller is at the lowest BIOS base address. ISA/EISA-based SCSI controllers which have their BIOS enabled boot before the AHA-3950 U2B.

Chapter 5 SCSISelect Utility
100
Verify Disk Media
The
Verify Disk Media
utility scans the selected device's media for defects. If the
utility finds bad blocks, it prompts you to reassign them; if you select
yes
, those
blocks will no longer be used.
Note: You can press
Esc
at any time to abort the
Verify Disk Media
utility.
Configuring Multiple SCSI Controllers
Note:
To use multiple PCI SCSI controllers, do the following:
1.
Install the boot SCSI controller in the lowest PCI
Device
number. The
Device
number is determined by the slot number on the PCI bus.
To find out the
Device
number of the AHA-3950 U2B SCSI controller(s), run
the SCSI
Select
utility (by pressing the key combination
Ctrl + A
when it is
displayed onscreen at bootup). Look on the first screen of SCSI
Select
in the
upper right hand corner for
Bus:Device xx:xxh
(given in hex).
If the
Device
number is high, move the AHA-3950 U2B SCSI controller to a
PCI slot at the other end of the motherboard and rerun SCSI
Select
to see if the
number is lower
This step is a recommended solution for most PCI motherboards. You can
also simply switch the AHA-3950 U2B SCSI controller into another PCI slot
if the boot order is not what is desired.
2.
If you are booting from the AHA-3950 U2B and using ISA/EISA-based host
adapters as secondary devices, you must disable the BIOS on all ISA/EISA-
based SCSI controllers.
3.
If you are booting from ISA/EISA-based SCSI controllers and using the
AHA-3950 U2B as a secondary device, see your ISA/EISA-based SCSI
controller documentation to ensure the SCSI controller is at the lowest BIOS
base address. ISA/EISA-based SCSI controllers which have their BIOS
enabled boot before the AHA-3950 U2B.
