Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI Cards User
s Guide
The following options have no effect if the SCSI card BIOS is
disabled. (The SCSI card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)
BIOS Multiple LUN Support
(Default:
No
) Leave this setting
at
No
if the device does not have multiple LUNs. When set to
Yes
, the SCSI card BIOS provides boot support for a SCSI device
with multiple LUNs (for example, a CD
juke box
device in which
multiple CDs can be accessed simultaneously).
Include in BIOS Scan
(Default:
Yes
) When set to
Yes
, the SCSI
card BIOS controls the SCSI device if it is an INT 13 device (such
as a SCSI disk drive) without device driver software. When set
to
No
, the SCSI card BIOS does not control the SCSI device and
device driver software is required. The BIOS can support up to
eight INT 13 devices without an additional device driver.
Advanced Configuration Options
Caution:
Do not
change the Advanced Configuration Options
unless absolutely necessary and you thoroughly understand
the consequences of the change.
Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization
(Default:
Enabled
) When
set to
Enabled
, the BIOS resets the SCSI bus at POST time and
then waits two seconds before scanning the bus for SCSI
devices. If this option is disabled, the SCSI card BIOS does not
issue a SCSI reset and there is no two-second delay.
Display <Ctrl> <A> Messages during BIOS Initialization
(Default:
Enabled
) When set to
Enabled
, the SCSI card BIOS
displays the
Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility!
message
on your screen during system bootup. If this setting is disabled,
you can still invoke the SCSI
Select
utility by pressing
<Ctrl> <A>
after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears. If you
change this setting, the change automatically applies to both
SCSI channels.
