3-4 Configuring the SYM8953U Host Adapter
3.2.2 Main Menu
When you start the Symbios SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility, the Main
Menu, shown in
Figure 3.1 , appears. This menu displays a list of installed
Symbios PCI to SCSI host adapters, information about each of them, and
a series of other menu options. This list displays up to four boards.
At the opening menu, the cursor is on one of the listed adapters. If you
need to change the configuration of an adapter, move to the board you
want to change with the arrow keys and press Enter. This calls the menu
described in detail in
Section 3.2.3, “Adapter Properties Menu.” From this
menu you can view and/or change the current settings for that adapter
and the SCSI devices attached to it. You can select an adapter only if
Current Status is “On.” Changes are possible since NVRAM is present
on this host adapter.
