Scsi Select Utility - Digital Equipment 3100R Series Service Maintenance Manual

When upgrading the BIOS, remove any video option cards and enable the onboard
SVGA. In the rare event that you may need to use the crisis recovery diskette, the
system will require that the onboard SVGA be used in this mode.

SCSI Select Utility

The DIGITAL Server comes with an onboard Adaptec 7880 SCSI controller and the
SCSI Select configuration utility. This utility allows you to change SCSI controller
settings without opening the server.
Use SCSI Select to:
•
Check factory default settings for each device on the wide Ultra SCSI bus.
•
Change SCSI device settings that might conflict with other SCSI devices.
•
Perform low-level formatting on new SCA-2 disk drives.
To start the SCSI Select configuration utility:
Press [Ctrl] + [A] when the Adaptec BIOS banner appears during the boot process
and before the end of the device information display.
NOTE: The DIGITAL Server is shipped configured as an
Ultra SCSI system. Use the SCSI Select utility to disable
support for Ultra SCSI if you are configuring non-Ultra
devices.
CAUTION: A crisis recovery diskette should be created
before upgrading the server BIOS.
