HP Netserver Ultra3 SCSI HBA Guide

The following four options have no effect when the SCSI host bus adapter

BIOS is disabled. (The SCSI host bus adapter BIOS is normally enabled by

default.)

• Domain Validation—(Default: Enabled) Determines the kinds of SCSI

devices connected and reduces data transfer speed when legacy SCSI

devices are detected. Displays the resulting data transfer rate.

• Support Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks—(Default:

Disabled) Determines which removable-media drives are supported by

the SCSI host bus adapter BIOS. Choices are as follows:

Disabled— No removable-media drives are treated as hard disk drives.

Software drivers are required because the drives are not controlled by the

BIOS.

Boot Only—Only the removable-media drive designated as the boot

device is treated as a hard disk drive.

All Disks—All removable-media drives supported by the BIOS are

treated as hard disk drives.

• BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROMs—(Default: Enabled)Whenset

to Enabled, the SCSI host bus adapter BIOS allows the computer to boot

from a CD-ROM drive.

• BIOS Support for Int 13 Extensions—(Default: Enabled)Whensetto

Enabled, the SCSI host bus adapter BIOS supports Int 13h extensions as

required by Plug-and-Play. The setting can be either enabled or disabled

if your system is not Plug-and-Play.

CAUTION You may lose data if you remove a removable-media

cartridge from a SCSI drive controlled by the SCSI host

bus adapter BIOS while the drive is on. If you want to be

able to remove the media while the drive is on, install the

removable-media software driver and set Support

Removable Disks Under BIOS as Fixed Disks to

Disabled.
