3. Configuring
Below the list of host adapters on the Main Menu display, you see eight op-
tions. They are described in detail below. If these settings are altered, the sys-
tem reboots upon exit from the configuration utility using the Quit option.
Change Adapter Status
The change adapter status allows you to activate or deactivate a integrated
SCSI and all SCSI devices attached to it. When this option is used to make a
change, the change takes place after a reboot that is automatic upon exit from
the utility. To change an adapter's status, select it and press Enter. Then press
the Escape (Esc) key to exit from this menu.
Adapter Boot Order
The adapter boot order allows you to set the order in which host adapters will
boot when you have more than one ASUS integrated SCSI in your system.
When this option is selected, the Boot Order menu appears:
To change an adapter's boot order, select it and press Enter. You are then prompted
to enter the new boot sequence number. To remove an adapter's boot order, press
Enter again rather than entering a new sequence number. While the maximum
capacity is 32 adapters, only 0 through 3 can be assigned a boot order. If an
invalid number is entered, an error message appears. When the adapters are or-
dered as desired, press the Escape (Esc) key to exit from this menu.
Additional Adapter Configuration
The additional adapter configuration allows you to configure an adapter that is
not assigned a boot order. When this option is selected, the Adapter Configura-
tion menu appears:
Highlight the adapter to be configured and press Enter. The message "Reset-
ting Adapter, Please wait" appears, and then the system scans for devices. Fi-
nally, the Utilities Menu appears and lists the available options, which are de-
scribed below.
Display Mode
Display mode determines how much information about your host adapters and
SCSI devices appear on your computer monitor during boot. For more com-
plete information, choose the verbose setting. For a faster boot, choose the
terse setting.
Mono/Color
Mono/color allows you to choose between a monochrome or color display for
the SCSI BIOS Configuration utility. You might need to choose the mono set-
ting to get a more readable screen on a monochrome monitor.
