3.2.3 Adapter Properties Menu
The Adapter Properties menu allows you to view and modify adapter
settings and as well as the SCSI devices connected to it. It also provides
access to an adapter's device settings. To display this menu, select a
device in the Adapter field on the Main Menu and press Enter. After
pressing Enter, the following message flashes before the menu appears:
“
Initializing the adapters, reading for non-volatile
settings, and scanning for devices..... ” After a few seconds the
menu appears. Figure 3.2 provides an example of the Adapter Properties
menu.
Dev/Func Indicates the PCI Device/Function assigned by the
system BIOS to an adapter.
The 8-bit value is mapped as follows:
Bit # 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
Bits [7:3]: Device (range 0x00–0x1F, 0–31 decimal)
Bits [2:0]: Function (range 0–7)
Port Number Indicates which I/O port communicates with an adapter,
as assigned by the system BIOS.
IRQ Indicates the Interrupt Request Line used by an adapter,
as assigned by the system BIOS.
NVM Indicates whether an adapter has NVM (NonVolatile

stored in its associated NVM. NVM can refer to NVRAM
that is resident on a host adapter or to system

The Symbios SCSI BIOS traverses up to four adapters
in the specified order in search of bootable media. To
modify this field, access the Boot Adapter List Menu.

Symbios software control or is reserved for control by
non-Symbios software.
