NonVolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) is available on the LSIU80ALVD. Changes can be made and stored using this menu driven utility.

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

Note: 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. This device driver is provided by the device manufacturer.

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 and information about each of them. To select an adapter, use only the arrow keys and 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 since NVRAM is present on this host adapter.

Figure 3.1 is an example of the Main Menu:
