4-30 System Configuration

SCSI BIOS (SCSISelect)

The “SCSISelect” utility makes settings of the SCSI controller on a motherboard. You can start it up by simple key operation during POST execution without using any special startup disk.

IMPORTANT:

Because the server is installed with the latest version of the SCSISelect utility, your screen display may be different from the one described in this guide. For information on options different from those described in this guide, refer to the online help or ask your service agent.

Usage of the SCSISelect utility

The SCSISelect utility is activated when you configure the transfer speed of SCSI devices connected to the server (except hard disk drive), and allows you to make settings.

IMPORTANT:

SCSI configuration must be set by starting up the utility on a SCSI controller basis. The server is equipped with one SCSI controller. If you have added SCSI controller boards, you need to make SCSI controller settings as many as the number of added SCSI controller boards in addition to the configuration for the built-in SCSI controller. The utility used for changing settings may be different.

Starting and Quitting the SCSISelect utility

The following section describes the procedures from starting the SCSISelect utility to quitting the utility. For information on how you start up and/or operate the utility stored on the option board, see the manual shipped with the option board.

1.Power on the server.

The following message appears on the screen during POST execution.

IMPORTANT:

The message is repeated for the number of times as many as the number of SCSI controllers installed.

2.Press and hold down the Ctrl key and press the N key.

The SCSISelect utility starts up with the “Main” menu displayed.
