BIOS Setup
Chapter 7 SCSI BIOS and Configuration Utility
Overview
A SCSI BIOS is the bootable ROM code that manages SCSI hardware resources. The LSI SCSI
BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS to extend the standard disk service routine that is
provided through INT13h. During the boot time initialization, the SCSI BIOS determines if the system
BIOS has already installed other hard disks, such as an IDE drive. If so, the SCSI BIOS maps any
SCSI drives it finds behind the already-installed drive(s). Otherwise, the SCSI BIOS installsdrives
starting with the system boot drive and the system boots from adrive controlled by the SCSI BIOS.
ENTERINGSETUP
Power ON the computer and press Ctrl+C immediately will allow you to enter Setup.
7-1. Main Menu
When invoked, the Configuration Utility (CU) first displays the Main Menu, which contains a scrolling
list of up to 256 LSI Logic PCI to SCSI host adapters and nformation about each of them. Use the
arrow keys to select an adapter. Press Enter to view and modify the properties of the selected adapter,
and to gain access to the attached devices. The CU can only access adapters with LSI Logic Control
enabled. After selecting an adapter and pressing Enter, the CU scans the adapter’s SCSI bus and then
displays the Adapter Properties screen.
The Main Menu contains two selections: Boot Adapter List and Global Properties. The Boot Adapter List
allows selection and ordering of boot adapters. The Global Properties allows changes to global settings.

If a mirrored volume currently exists, press enter to Whole
resynchronize the volume. The CU greys-out this field if the
current firmware in use does not support the IM feature or if
the existing mirrored volume does not need
resynchronization.
This field indicates the SCSI identifier of an adapter. LSI
Logic recommends setting this field to the highest priority
SCSI identifier, which is SCSI ID 7.
This field indicates the order in which to scan SCSI
identifiers on an adapter. Changing this item affects drive
letter assignments if more than one device is attached to an
adapter and might create a conflict with an operating system
that automatically assigns drive order.
This field specifies the removable media support option for
an adapter. There are three possible settings: None, Boot
Drive Only, and With Media Installed. ‘None’ indicates there is
no removable media support, whether the drive is selected
as first (BBS), or is the first in the scan order (non-BBS). ‘¥
Boot Drive Only’ provides removable media support for a
removable hard drive if it is first in the scan order. ‘With
Media Installed¡¦ provides removable media regardless of
the drive ordering.’With Media Installed’ provides removable
media regardless of the drive ordering.

Description
This field defines the Cylinder Head Sector (CHS) values
mapping method. CHS Mapping allows two settings: ‘SCSI
Plug and Play Mapping’ (Default value) and ‘Alternate CHS
Mapping’. SCSI Plug and Play Mapping automatically deter
mines the most efficient and compatible mapping. Alternate
CHS Mapping utilizes an alternate method that might be
required if a device is moved betweenadapters from
different vendors.
These options have no effect after the FDISK command
partitions the disk. To change the CHS Mapping on a
partitioned disk, use the FDISK command to delete all
partitions and reboot the system to clear the memory. Be
certain that the correct disk is the target of an FDISK
command.
This field indicates the number of seconds to wait between
spin-ups of devices attached to an adapter. Staggered
spin-ups balance the electrical current load on the system
during boot. The default value is 2 seconds, with choices
between 1 and 10 seconds.
The options for this field are ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ (Default). Setting
this field to Yes indicates that the Fusion-MPT adapter shares
devices with another adapter, and prevents the MPT
SCSI BIOS from issuing SCSI Bus resets. This is a equirement
for the Microsoft Cluster Server.
This field indicates if an adapter has automatic termination
control. The options for this field are ‘Auto’ or ‘Off’. ‘Auto’
indicates that the adapter automatically determines to enable
or disable its termination. ‘Off’ indicates that termination at
the adapter is off and that other devices at the ends of the
SCSI bus must terminate the bus. If Auto is grayed out, it
means that termination is not programmable.
To obtain default settings, press Enter.
