Note:
The PCI bus is supposed to automati-
cally assign Interrupt channels (IRQs) and
port addresses. But because PCI is currently
combined with other bus architectures such
as ISA and EISA, you may need to edit the
PCI bus parameters in your CMOS
Setup
.
When the computer boots, the host adapter BIOS
sign-on message appears on the screen. This mes-
sage includes a list of installed SCSI devices and
information about the BIOS. In most cases your com-
puter, host adapter, and SCSI devices are ready to
use, and you do not need to run SCSI
Select
.
Configuring the Host Adapter
Your AHA-3940AUWD host adapter includes the
built-in SCSI
Select
configuration utility. SCSI
Select
lets you change host adapter settings, such as SCSI
Parity Checking and Host Adapter SCSI ID, without
opening your computer or flipping switches.
To run SCSI
Select
, press
Ctrl-A
immediately when
the SCSI
Select
message appears on the screen at the
time your computer boots.
Use the arrow (↑↓) and
Enter
keys to make selec-
tions in the SCSI
Select
Options menu. Press Esc at
any time to return to the previous menu. You can
press
F6
to restore the
original
default settings. To
abandon changes you made in the Configure/View
Host Adapter Settings menu, press
Esc
and select
No
when asked if you want to save the changes.
The first SCSI
Select
screen asks you to choose SCSI
Channel A or Channel B. You can only configure one
SCSI channel at a time. If you have multiple host
adapters, the screen displays a list of SCSI channels
for all installed host adapters.
Configure/View Host Adapter Settings
The Configuration screen displays the basic options
for
each
SCSI channel: Host Adapter SCSI ID, SCSI
Parity Checking, Host Adapter SCSI Termination,
Boot Device Options, SCSI Device Configuration,
