Multiple LUN Support
You use this setting to decide whether an SCSI device with multiple LUNs (Logical
Unit Numbers) can or cannot be used as a start drive.
Enabled The SCSI device is used as start drive.
Disabled The SCSI device is not used as start drive (default setting).
Include BIOS Scan
If this function is enabled, the SCSI device can be used as a boot drive. The SCSI
device is contacted by the SCSI BIOS and receives a drive name. A message is
displayed on the screen.
Yes The SCSI device can be a boot drive and is given a drive name
(default setting).
No The SCSI device is not contacted by the SCSI BIOS.
Note
In the case of drives which you know will never be used as a boot drive (DAT drive,
for example), you should set this function to No. This saves time when starting the
system.
