Read/Write I/O Time-out (seconds) – This option sets the amount of time
the integrated SCSI waits for a read, write, or seek command to complete be-
fore trying the I/O transfer again. Since this provides a safeguard allowing the
system to recover if an I/O operation fails, it is recommended that you always
set the time-out to a value greater than zero.
NOTE: If the time-out is set to zero, then the I/O will never time-out.
Scan for Device at Boot Time – When there is a device you do not want to be
available to the system, set this option to "No" for that device. Also, on a bus
with only a few devices attached, you can speed up boot time by changing this
setting to "No" for all unused SCSI IDs.
Scan for SCSI Logical Units (LUNs) – You can set this option to "No" if you
have problems with a device that responds to all LUNs whether they are occu-
pied or not. For example, if there is a SCSI device with multiple LUNs but you
do not want all of those LUNs to be available to the system, then set this option
to "No." This will limit the scan to LUN0 only.
Queue Tags – This option allows you to enable or disable the issuing of queue
tags during I/O requests when your device driver can do this.
Format Device – If enabled, this option allows you to low-level format a
magnetic disk drive. Low-level formatting will completely and irreversibly
erase all data on the drive. Note that this utility will only format 512 byte
sectors. For other sector sizes, do not use this utility.
Verify – This option allows you to read all the sectors on a disk looking for
errors. When selected, this option displays the following message:
"Verify all sectors on the device
Press ESC to abort
Else press any key to continue"
Help – This option brings up a help screen with information about the current
menu.
Restore Default Setup – This option resets all device selections back to their
optimal settings. Select this option to restore all manufacturing defaults for the
specified adapter. Note that all user customized options will be lost upon sav-
ing after restoring default setup.
Exit this menu – This option allows you to leave the current menu screen and
return to the previous screen.
