Reset SCSI Bus at IC Initialization

The default for this option is Enabled. When the Plug and Play Scam Support option is set to Enabled, you cannot change this option to Disabled.

Available options are:

Enabled

Disabled

Host Adapter BIOS

This option enables or disables the AIC-7880 BIOS. The BIOS must be enabled if you want the computer to boot from a SCSI hard disk drive connected to the adapter. In addition, the BIOS must be enabled if you want to enable any of the following options:

Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks

Extended BIOS Translation for DOS Drives > 1 GByte

Multiple LUN Support

BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM

BIOS Support for Int 13 Extensions

Support for Ultra SCSI Speed

Send Start Unit SCSI Command

If the devices on the SCSI bus are controlled by device drivers (and therefore do not need a BIOS), you can disable the AIC-7880 BIOS to free about 16KB of memory. This also shortens the boot time by up to 60 seconds.

Available options are:

Enabled

Disabled

Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks

This setting controls which removable-media drives are supported by the AIC-7880 BIOS.

When you attempt to change the setting of this option, the following informational message displays:

WARNING: Do not remove media from a removable media drive if it is under BIOS control.
