SCSI Configuration Utility

The HP Server uses the SCSISelect Utility to verify or modify the SCSI controller
board settings for the devices connected to the active SCSI connector on the SCSI
controller board. If you need to verify or modify SCSI controller settings, or if you
need to low-level format SCSI disks or verify SCSI disk media, run the
SCSISelect Utility.
NOTE You typically would not need to use this utility unless you are
an experienced administrator or requested to do so by a support
provider.
During the boot process the BIOS searches for SCSI devices and a specific
message appears if there are devices connected to the SCSI controller board, as
shown below. The SCSI controller can provide the bus, device, and channel
configurations when active on screen.
To access the SCSISelect Utility, refer to the following instructions.
1. Boot or reboot the HP Server.
If you are already in the boot process, you should see the following message
appear.
<<<Press <Ctrl A> for SCSISelect Utility!>>>
2. Press [Ctrl + A] keys to enter the utility.
The SCSISelect Utility appears on screen.
3. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor, press Enter to select an option, or
press Esc to exit.
4. To change SCSI controller settings, select "Configure/View Host Adapter
Settings."
This menu allows you to configure the SCSI controller ID settings or other
advance controller settings.
5. Select "SCSI Disk Utilities" to format a hard disk or change hard disk
parameters:
CAUTION Low-level formatting of a SCSI disk drive will destroy all of
its data.
