SCSISelect Configuration Utility

INTRODUCTION

This appendix provides operating instructions for the Adaptec SCSISelect Configuration

 

Utility, which allows you to view and change the configuration settings for the Adaptec

 

SCSI adapter supplied on your single board computer (SBC). It also allows you to list

 

the SCSI IDs of devices on the host adapter, format SCSI disk drives, and check drives

 

for defects.

RUNNING THE

To run the SCSISelect Configuration Utility, you must run the executable DOS program

CONFIGURATION

cfg7880.exe, which is provided with your SBC.

UTILITY

The configuration utility program may be run from your floppy drive or your hard drive.

 

 

It is recommended that you run the program without any device drivers or TSRs loaded.

 

To select a line item for modification on any SCSISelect screen, use the arrow keys to

 

move the cursor to the line item and then press <Enter>. The settings available for that

 

line item display, with an asterisk (*) indicating the default value. Use the arrow keys to

 

select the appropriate setting and press <Enter> to accept the setting and return to the

 

setup screen. A line item might lead you to another screen with associated options. You

 

can select the option(s) you wish to change as described above.

 

The SCSISelect screens, options and available settings are described later in this

 

Appendix. The screens illustrated show the default settings for each line item. At any

 

time during the SCSISelect session, you may press the <F6> key to reset to these default

 

settings.

 

If you select <F6>, the following message displays:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reset ALL Options to Default Setting?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes

 

 

 

 

 

 

No

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you select Yes, all options revert to default settings. Any changes you have made

 

previously will be lost, so be sure this is what you want to do before selecting this option.

EXITING

To exit from the SCSISelect utility, return to the Options Menu and press <Esc>.

SCSISELECT

If you have not made any changes to the adapter settings, the following message

 

 

displays:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Exit Utility?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No
