Storage Manager on ROM
Enable SCSI CD-ROM Boot
When enabled, the BIOS attempts to detect a bootable CD-ROM
that uses the El-Torito format. This setting is disabled by default,
because some bootable CD-ROMs contain device-specific boot
code that is not supported by Adaptec controllers.
INT13 Cache Setting
This setting determines how the controller responds to Int13 write
commands under DOS and certain operating system installation
programs. The default is Write Through to avoid problems that can
occur during operating system installation if write-back caching is
enabled. After the operating system is installed, you can change to
Write Back caching for improved performance.
Change this setting back to Write Through during future operating
system installs or upgrades to avoid problems.
Scan Delay
Some devices require a time interval between power on, bus reset,
and scan or they do not respond correctly. If devices are not
displayed in the Tree View after power on, set the delay to a longer
interval.
EBDA Relocation
This setting determines the way that RAID controllers handle
Extended BIOS Data Area (EBDA) relocation. The default is
disabled. If the RAID controller does not behave as expected
enabling this option may resolve problems caused by conflicts with
other adapter cards.
Enable Extended Int13
This option enables extended Logical Block Addressing (LBA) for
hard drives. LBA enables operating system access to drives larger
than 8.6 GB. You should not change this setting.
