The following messages might appear during the boot process:
Note –
The SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility is a powerful tool. If, while using it,
you disable all of your controllers, pressing Ctrl-A (or Ctrl-E
on version 5.00 or later)
after memory initialization during reboot allows you to re-enable and reconfigure.
Note –
Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be controlled by the
BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and scanners require that a device driver specific
to that peripheral be loaded. The SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility does allow
parameters to be modified for these devices.
C.2 Using the Configuration Utility
All SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility screens are partitioned into fixed areas.
