Configuring Your System

Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration. You can configure your system, as well as option boards you may add to your system, using the BIOS Setup Utility. Several unique system parameters are configured using the BIOS Setup, which is stored in the system FLASH memory.

The SCSISelect Utility detects the SCSI host adapters on the system board. Use this utility if you need to configure the two SCSI controllers in your system or to perform a SCSI disk format or verify disk operation on the SCSI disk drives.

The Adaptec Configuration Utility is also used to configure any SCSI removable media devices installed in your system.

If your system has been factory configured, the BIOS Setup or SCSISelect Utility do not need to be run unless you want to change the password or security features, add certain types of option boards or devices, or upgrade your system board.

This chapter also provides information on several system configuration parameters that are set by jumpers on the system board. However, these parameters do not usually require change.

Use the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to create the device driver diskettes.
