Adaptec SCSISelect Configuration Utility

Adaptec SCSISelect Configuration Utility

The AIC-7892 BIOS includes the SCSISelect configuration utility, which allows you to view and change host adapter settings. SCSISelect also lists the SCSI IDs of devices on the host adapter, formats SCSI disk drives, and checks drives for defects.

Default Settings

The following tables show the default configuration settings that can be changed. The first table shows the global settings which impact the host adapter; the second table shows the boot device options which allow you to specify the boot device; the third table shows the different advance configuration options; and the fourth table shows the device settings which apply to individual devices.
