was loaded, then the CDROM drive would become the designated A: drive, and the existing floppy would become

Using the Fusion-MPT SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility

User Inputs

Main Menu

Adapter Properties Menu

Device Properties Menu

Mirroring Properties Menu

Boot Adapter List Menu

Global Properties Menu

The SCSI BIOS allows you to change the default configuration of your host adapters by using the embedded BIOS
Configuration Utility.

When the BIOS loads, the following message will appear on your monitor:

"Press Ctrl-M to start LSI Logic Configuration Utility..."

This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you time to start the utility. After you press Ctrl-
M
, the message changes to:

"Please wait, invoking LSI Logic Configuration Utility..."

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

NOTE: Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be controlled by this SCSI BIOS.

Devices such as tape drives and scanners require that a device driver specific to that peripheral be
loaded. However, the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility does allow parameters to be modified for these
devices.

User Inputs

You make configuration changes in the main area of the menu. This area is lighter in color than the header or footer
areas as displayed on line in the Configuration Utility’s menu. Table 2-1. lists the various keyboard options you use to
make changes. Settings with gray or yellow text can be changed, settings with white text cannot. This is true
regardless of the Color/Mono setting chosen.
