Adaptec 39106 manual Advanced Configuration Options

Configuring the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 with SCSISelect

■BIOS Multiple LUN Support—(Default: No) Leave this set- ting at No if the device does not have multiple Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs). When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS pro- vides boot support for a SCSI device with multiple LUNs (for example, a CD “juke box” device in which multiple CDs can be accessed simultaneously).

■Include in BIOS Scan—(Default: Yes) When set to Yes, the SCSI card BIOS includes the device as part of its BIOS scan at bootup.

Advanced Configuration Options

Note: Do not change the Advanced Configuration Options unless absolutely necessary.

■Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization—(Default:Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card generates a SCSI bus reset during its power-on initialization and after a hard reset.

■Display <Ctrl> <A> Messages during BIOS Initialization— (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, the SCSI card BIOS displays the Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect (TM) Utility! mes- sage on your screen during system bootup. If this setting is dis- abled, you can still invoke the SCSISelect Utility by pressing <Ctrl> <A> after the SCSI card BIOS banner appears. If you change this setting, the change automatically applies to both SCSI channels.

■Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte— (Default: Enabled) When set to Enabled, provides an extended translation scheme for SCSI hard disks with capacities greater than 1 GByte. This setting is necessary only for MS-DOS 5.0 or above; it is not required for other operating systems, such as NetWare or UNIX.

Caution: Changing the translation scheme destroys all data on the drive. Be sure to back up your disk drives before changing the translation scheme.
