3-2 Dell PowerEdge 4100/180 and 4100/200 Systems User’s Guide
NOTES: The SCSISelect Utility must be run for both the
AIC-7880 and AIC-7860 SCSI controllers if you need to
change the configuration settings.
The term host adapter is used throughout this chapter to
refer to the built-in AIC-7880 and AIC-7860 SCSI con-
trollers or the optional AHA-2940 SCSI controller card.
For situations in which you might want or need to change
the settings, see the descriptions of each setting in the fol-
lowing subsections. To change any of the default settings
or to format or verify a disk, see “Starting the SCSISelect
Utility” found later in this chapter.
