Configuring the SCSI Adapter
Access the SCSI BIOS by holding down both CTRL and A keys when you see the
BIOS banner message listing the driver name and the attached devices. For example:
Adaptec AIC-7890 SCSI BIOS v2.01
(c) 1998 Adaptec, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
<<< Press <Ctrl><A> for SCSISelect(TM) Utility! >>>
The SCSISelect screen will come up. Instructions on how to move the cursor and
select options are listed on the bottom of the program windows.
SCSI Disk Utilities
The SCSI Disk Utilities option displays information on SCSI IDs 0 though 15, listing
all devices on the bus including non-disk devices. When you select a device from the
list and press Enter key, another window appears giving you the option of selecting
one of two sub-utilities, Format Disk or Verify Media. These utilities are used for
hard disk drives only and will have no effect on other non-disk SCSI devices.
Format Disk - low-level formats your SCSI hard disks. In general, SCSI hard disks
have already been low-level formatted when you get them, so you generally do not
need to use this function.
Verify Media - scans the selected drive media for defects, notifies you of any de-
fects found and gives you the option of reassigning bad blocks so that data will not
be written to them. This utility is only necessary if you suspect that your SCSI disk
drive has a problem.
