SCSI Parity Check ON. Select this option to enable or disable parity checking on the SCSI bus by the host adapter. The default setting for this option is on (yes).

NOTE: If this option is set ON, be certain that the peripheral SCSI device also has this option turned ON.

BIOS Setup

Enable Host Adapter BIOS. This option controls the host adapter usage of SCSI disk I/O routines inside the host adapter BIOS. By disabling this option you will eliminate the host adapter’s ability to utilize boot capabilities in I/OHIGHWAY. Setting this to “no” will also disable all subsequent features displayed by this on-screen panel. The default setting will be on. (Yes)

BIO SUPPORT for More than Two Drives. This option supports two or more disk drives on the SCSI bus for MS-DOS 5.0 or later when enabled. The optimum device identification (ID) for multiple drive operation is device ID-0 for a system disk and device ID-1 for the second drive. The default setting will be on. (Yes)

BIOS Treat Removable Disks as Fixed Disk. This option is able to treat removable disks as fixed disks. With this option selected you can run removable disk media without additional software drivers. The default setting will be off. (No)

BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM. This option allows users to boot from a CD- ROM by replying with Yes at the prompt. Only one bootable CD-ROM will be allowed at a time. The default setting will be off. (No)

Disk Utilities

Format Disk. Use this option to perform a low level disk format on the target device. The format will erase all data resident on the targeted disk drive. Refer to the section titled “Hard Drive Preparation” for additional information.

Verify Disk. This option will verify the media of a successfully formatted device and verify that the drive is functioning properly. Verify will also identify and flag any bad sectors on the disk so that during operation these flagged sectors will not be used. If a bad sector is found you are given two options shown below:

•Reassign will assign the flagged location to another sector on the disk.

•Skip will not reassign the flagged location.
