If you do not press <Ctrl+A>, the system finds the Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI host adapter
and displays the message Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI BIOS V x.xxx where x.xxx is
the version number of the SCSISelect utility. Pressing <Ctrl+A> at this time allows you to
configure the Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI host adapter.
Once you enter the configuration menus for one of the host adapters, you cannot switch
to the other adapter. For example, once you press <Ctrl+A> to configure the Adaptec
AIC-7899 SCSI host adapter, you have to reboot the system to configure the Adaptec
AIC-7880 SCSI host adapter.
Use the SCSISelect utility to:

devices in the server.
