The following options have no effect if the SCSI card BIOS is disabled. (The SCSI card BIOS is normally
enabled by default.)
BIOS Multiple LUN Support - (Default: No) Leave this setting at No if the device does not have
multiple LUNs. When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS provides boot support for a SCSI device with
multiple LUNs.
Include in BIOS Scan - (Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS controls the SCSI
device if it is an INT 13 device (such as a SCSI disk drive) without device driver. When set to No,
the SCSI card BIOS does not control the SCSI device and device driver is required. The BIOS can
support up to eight INT 13 devices without an additional device driver.
Advanced Configuration
Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization - (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, the BIOS resets the
SCSI bus at POST time and then waits two seconds before scanning the bus for SCSI devices. If
this option is disabled, the SCSI card BIOS does not issue a SCSI reset and there is no two-second
delay.
Display <Ctrl><A> Message During BIOS Initialization- (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled,
the SCSI card BIOS displays the Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! message on your
screen during system bootup. If this setting is disabled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect Utility by
pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears.
Extended INT 13 Translation for DOS Drivers > 1 GByte - (Default: Enabled) When set to
Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than
1 GB. This setting is necessary only for current versions of MS-DOS; it is not required for other
operating systems, such as UNIX.
Post Display Mode - (Default: Verbose) During POST, the amount of information displayed
depends on the mode. The following modes are available:
Verbose – The results of the SCSI bus scan are displayed, but the results of the PCI bus scan
are not displayed.
Silent – Nothing is displayed about POST. However, error messages are displayed if there is a
problem on the SCSI bus or SCSI devices.
Diagnostic – The PCI and SCSI bus scan results are displayed separately. There is a pause
between PCI and SCSI scans.
SCSI Controller INT 13 Support - (Default: Enabled) This option controls the state of the BIOS at
POST time. The following settings are available..
Enabled – Supports INT 13 for booting from a SCSI disk drive connected to the SCSI card. If
you use this option, the following options are available.
Extended INT 13 Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GB
Support Removable Disks Under INT 13 as Fixed Disks
Disabled:NOT Scan – Set to this option if all the devices on the SCSI bus are controlled by
device drivers and do not need the BIOS, and you do not want the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus.
SCSISelect remains available if needed.
Disabled:scan Bus – Set to this option if all the devices on the SCSI bus are controlled by
device drivers and you need the BIOS to scan the SCSI bus. Allows devices to spin up
according to the setting of the Send Start Unit Command. SCSISelect remains available if
needed.
