Chapter 4 SCSI BIOS and Configuration Utility
Overview
A SCSI BIOS is the bootable ROM code that manages SCSI hardware resources. The LSI
SCSI BIOS integrates with a standard sy stem BIOS to extend the standard disk serv ice
routine that is provided through INT13h. During the boot time initialization, the SCSI BIOS
determines i f the system BIOS has already installed other hard disks, such as an IDE drive. If
so, the SCSI BIOS maps any SCSI drives it finds behind the already-installed drive( s).
Otherwise, the SCSI BIOS installsdrives starting with the system boot drive and the system
boots from adrive controlled by the SCSI BIOS.
