Configuring the SYM22902 Host Adapter
There are four sets of configurations you can change. You make changes
on subordinate menus called from the Main Menu, which is opened when
you start the SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility. The subordinate menus are
listed below.
Adapter Properties
Device Properties
Boot Adapter List
Global Properties
All these properties are controlled by menus you access through the
configuration utility through the Main Menu. The Main Menu also gives
an overview of some properties of installed Symbios host adapter
boards.
3.2 Starting the Configuration Utility
You can see the version number of your Symbios SCSI BIOS 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.
These messages may appear during the boot process:
“
Adapter removed from boot order, parameters will be
updated accordingly
” appears when an adapter is removed from
the system or relocated behind a PCI bridge.
“
Configuration data invalid, saving default
configuration!
” appears if none of the information in the NVRAM
is valid.
