Using the SCSI Configuration Utility
The HP NetServer uses the Symbios SCSI Select Utility to configure or changes
SCSI settings. The SCSI Select Utility is used for verifying or modifying the SCSI
controller settings for the devices connected to SCSI controller board.
To access the SCSI Select Utility following the instructions on screen shortly after
the NetServer begins the boot process, a message appears:
<Ctrl A> for SCSI Select

an experienced administrator or requested to do so by a support
