installation notes – There were problems with having the SCSI Host Adapter BIOS enabled on the
Adaptec 39160 card. The adapter BIOS was causing a BSOD at Windows logon. The resolution is to enter
the SCSI BIOS, go to the Advanced section, and disable the Host Adapter BIOS. This is not needed, except
in the case of booting from a SCSI disk, and video array performance is not affected in any way by disabling
the Host Adapter BIOS.
