• Display <Ctrl> <A> Messages during BIOS Initialization-(Default:
Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS displays the Press
<Ctrl> <A> for SCSI Select (TM) Utility! message on your screen dur-
ing system bootup. If this setting disabled, you can still invoke the
SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS
banner appears.
• 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 of UNIX.
Use the MS-DOS Fdisk command to partition a disk laster than 1GByte
controlled by the SCSI card BIOS, when using DOS, Windows 3.1.x, or
Windows 95/98.
• Verbose/Silent Mode-(Default: Verbose) When set to Verbose, the
SCSI card BIOS displays the host adapter model on the screen during
system buildup. When set to Silent, the message is not displayed dur-
ing bootup.
• Host Adapter BIOS (Configuration Utility Reserves BIOS Space)-
(Default: Enabled) Enables or disables the SCSI card BIOS.
• Leave at Enabled to allow the SCSI card BIOS to scan and initialize all
SCSI devices.
• Set to Disabled: Not scan if the devices on the SCSI bus (for example,
CD-ROM drives) are controlled by software drivers and do not need
the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.
• Set to Disabled: Scan Bus if you do not need the BIOS, but you want it
to scan the SCSI devices on the bus and you need to spin up the
devices.
The following four options have no effect when the SCSI Card BIOS is
disabled. (The SCSI Card BIOS is normally enabled by default.)
• Domain Validation.(Default: Enabled) Determines the optimal transfer
rate for each device on the SCSI bus and sets transfer rates accordingly.
Displays the resulting data transfer rate.
Caution: Changing the translation scheme destroys all
data on the drive. Be sure to back your disk
drives before changing the translation scheme.
