Enhanced Mode SCSI Configuration

The view for Enhanced Mode allows more flexible selection and is shown in
Figure 3-6.
The enhanced mode offers a greater selection of SCSI configuration options. Use the
Tab or Cursor keys or a mouse to highlight a particular selection and press Enter
to toggle between no and yes. Each device can have a number of parameters selected
individually.
Error if Device Not Found selects whether the operator will be notified if the
BIOS is unable to find the device during the boot procedure.
BIOS Support Option allows up to two devices attached to the SCSI bus to be rec-
ognized by the host adapter BIOS and installed as devices on the system without the
need for driver software. Only fixed and removable hard disks are supported under
the BIOS, with default for hard disks only. Select this option to allow removable sup-
port or to remove any disk support for each SCSI address. Note that support for re-
movable disks does not allow the disk media to be removed during operation, only
use of a removable disk as if it were a fixed disk.
When this option is selected, use the cursor keys to move among the options shown in
Figure 3-7.
