3.2Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

If you have SCSI BIOS version 4.0 and later, and it includes the

LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the default configuration of the SCSI host adapter(s) can be changed. If a conflict does exist between device settings or if optimizing system performance is necessary, then use this Configuration Utility.

The version number of the SCSI BIOS appears in a banner displayed on your computer monitor during boot. If the Configuration Utility is available, the following message also appears on your monitor:

Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility...

This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you time to start the utility. If you decide to press Control C the message changes to:

Please wait, invoking LSI Logic Configuration Utility...

After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.

NVRAM is available on this LSI Logic LSIU40HVD. Changes can be made and stored to NVRAM using this menu driven utility.
