Important: This SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility is a powerful tool. If, while using it, you somehow disable all of your controllers, pressing Control A (or Control E on version 4.04 or later) after memory initialization during reboot allows you to re-enable and reconfigure.

Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and scanners require that a device driver specific to that peripheral be loaded. The device manufacturer provides the device drivers.

3.2.1Configuration Utility Main Menu

When you start the LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the Main Menu appears. This menu displays a list of up to four LSI Logic PCI to SCSI host adapters in your system and information about each of them. The LSIU40HVD appears on the menu as two LSI53C875 entries; one for each channel. To select an adapter, use only the arrow keys and the enter key. Then, you can view and/or change the current settings for that adapter and the SCSI devices attached to it.

You can select an adapter only if Current Status is on. Changes are possible only if NVRAM is present on your adapter.

Figure 3.1 is an example of the Main Menu.
