The SCSI card standard translation scheme can be used up to a maximum capacity of
1 GB. This card contains an extended translation scheme that allows support of a disk
drive with a capacity greater than 1 GB. Extended translation is used only with MS-
DOS 5.0 or above. When the card is used for mirroring, this setting should be same as
that of the SERVER.
When you create partitions on a disk drive with a capacity greater than 1 GB, use the
MS-DOS fdisk utility in the usual way. Since extended translation can increase the
cylinder size to 8 MB, you must set partition sizes in multiples of 8 MB. If you set a
size other than a multiple of 8 MB, the fdisk utility rounds the size up to the nearest
multiple of 8 MB.

Note
When a removable-media SCSI device is controlled by Host Adapter
BIOS, never remove the medium while the system is running. Doing so
may result in the loss of data. If you want to remove the medium while
the system is on, install the device driver and 「Disabled」 this option.
・ Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GB
This option allows the extended translation function to use a SCSI hard disk
with a capacity greater than 1 GB. The default setting is 「Enabled」.
Note
Before changing the translation scheme, back up the disk drive, since
all data is lost when you change the translation scheme used.
・ Display <Ctrl-A> Message During BIOS Initialization
This option allows you to display the message 「Press <Ctrl><A> for
SCSISelect (TM) Utility!」 on the screen at system bootup. (For the message
I
screen, refer to "
Activating and terminating the SCSI Select Utility".) The default setting is
「Enabled」. If this setting is set to 「Disabled」, you can activate the SCSISelect
utility by pressing <Ctrl>+<A> key after this card initial message has been
displayed.
・ Multiple LUN Support
This option allows you to determine whether booting from SCSI devices
having two or more LUNs should be supported. The default setting is
「Disabled」. If the boot device has two or more LUNs, set this option to
「Enabled」.
