7.5 Configuring the SCSI interface with SCSISelect

SCSISelect, included with the CPU card, enables you to change SCSI set- tings without opening the computer. SCSISelect also enables you to low- level format or verify the disk media of your SCSI hard disk drives. The following table lists the available and default settings for each SCSISelect option.

Note:

The default settings are appropriate for most

 

systems. Run SCSISelect if you need to

 

change or view current settings, or if you would

 

like to run the SCSI disk utilities.
