3.2Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

If you have LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Version 4.XX, and it includes the LSI Logic SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, you can change the default configuration of the SCSI host adapters. You may decide to alter these default values if there is a conflict between device settings or if you need to optimize system performance.

You can see the version number of your LSI Logic SCSI BIOS in a banner displayed on your computer monitor during boot. If the 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 “Ctrl-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.
