Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 29160LP with SCSISelect Advanced Configuration Options Note: Do not change the Advanced Configuration Options unless absolutely necessary. I Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization-(Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card generates a SCSI bus reset during its power-on initialization and after a hard reset. I Display Messages during BIOS Initialization- (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS displays the Press for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! message on your screen during system bootup. If this setting is disabled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect utility by pressing after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears. I Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte- (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte. This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not required for other operating systems, such as NetWare or UNIX. Caution: Changing the translation scheme destroys all data on the drive. Be sure to back up the data before changing the translation scheme. Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk larger than 1 GByte controlled by the SCSI card BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, or Windows 95/98. I Verbose/Silent Mode-(Default: Verbose) When set Verbose, the SCSI card BIOS displays the host adapter model on the screen during system bootup. When set to Silent, the message will not be displayed during bootup. 19
