Bringing Up AutoSCSl

The Configuration Menu

AutoSCSI resides in Read Only Memory (ROM). AutoSCSI 

is a

 SCSI adapters. In addition to its 

sim-

plified configuration, AutoSCSI offers diagnostics and disk utilities.

AutoSCSI is available when the system is first powered up and at every

system reset. Press 

Ctrl-B 

at 

the prompt that follows the system startup

banner. For example:

BIOS Version 4.x

When invoked, the AutoSCSI menu appears. Use the following keystrokes
