Configuring the Host Adapter

3.2 Starting the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

If you have SCSI BIOS version 4.xx, and it includes the Symbios SCSI
BIOS Configuration Utility, you can change the default configuration of
your SCSI host adapters. You may decide to alter these default values if
there is a conflict between device settings or if you need to optimize
system performance.

The version number of the SCSI BIOS appears in a banner displayed on
your computer monitor during boot. If the utility is available, the following
message also appears on your monitor:

Press Ctrl-C to start Symbios Configuration Utility...

This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you
time to start the utility. If you decide to press “Ctrl-C,” the message
changes to:

Please wait, invoking Symbios Configuration Utility...

After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the
Symbios SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility.

NVRAM (Non Volatile Random Access Memory) is available on the
SYM22801 host adapter. Changes can be made and stored to NVRAM
using this menu driven utility.
