Scsi Bios ~ Fast!Util; Start - NEC Express5800/320Lb User Manual

4-28 System Configuration
SCSI BIOS ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼ FAST!UTIL ∼ ∼ ∼ ∼
For several settings of the SCSI controller on the motherboard (or the SCSI controller on the
optional board), the SCSI BIOS utility "Fast!UTIL" is used.
The SCSI BIOS utility can be started by simple keystrokes during execution of POST without use
of a special start disk.
The SCSI BIOS built in the server is set to the optimum at the shipment. Accordingly, the SCSI
BIOS may not be changed by using this utility.
IMPORTANT:
Use Fast!UTIL only when an optional SCSI controller is used. Leave the settings
for the SCSI controller to which built-in hard disks are connected as they are at
shipment. If any of the settings are changed, see the description in this document
to return to the settings at shipment. The controllers installed in each module
must be configured individually.
Fast!UTIL of the latest version is installed in the NEC Express5800/ft series.
Accordingly, the setting screen may be different from that described in this
document. See the online help or contact your sales agent for the setting items
different from those in this document.

Start

The procedure of starting Fast!UTIL is described below.
Notes
Note the following before starting Fast!UTIL.
Settings for built-in hard disk
Leave the settings for the built-in hard disk as they are at shipment. The built-in host
adapter is specified as QLA12160 Ultra3 5000 in the Select Host Adapter dialog box.
Settings of SCSI controller installed in each group
Only the PCI module in which the SCSI controller card to be set is installed should be
−
inserted into the system before Fast!UTIL can be started for the setting. Remove the
other PCI module from the system.
Make sure that the number of the PCI slot connected with the SCSI controller card
−
installed in a PCI module is the same as the number of the PCI slot connected with the
SCSI controller card installed in the other PCI module. Provide the same settings for
both the PCI modules.
Don't change the factory settings of the SCSI controller card.
−
Although there may be descriptions that the SCSI BIOS of the host adapter needs to be
−
configured in manuals for tape devices, etc., this server does not require modifications
to the settings. Do not change the settings.
