Configuring Your Server 4-19

SCSI BIOS (SCSISelect)

The SCSISelect utility is provided to configure the SCSI controller on the mother board (or the SCSI controller on an optional board). This utility may be started with a simple key operation while POST is in progress and requires no specific start-up disk.

Using SCSISelect Utility

Use the SCSISelect utility mainly to set the transfer speed of connected SCSI devices or to configure the internal hard disk drives connected to the onboard SCSI controller as a RAID drive (HostRAID). The SCSI devices include those installed in the backup file bay, such as an external DAT and MO, but not hard disk drives.

IMPORTANT: SCSI configuration must be made on a per-SCSI controller basis with a utility. The server contains one SCSI controller. When you added optional SCSI controllers, you need to make configuration for each SCSI controller in addition to the standard internal SCSI controller. Some additional SCSI controllers may require a different utility to make changes to the configuration.

Configuring SCSI Controller on Mother Board

The following describes configuration for the SCSI controller on the mother board of the server.
