Queue Tags – This option allows you to enable or disable the issuing of queue

tags during I/O requests when your device driver can do this.

Format Device – If enabled, this option allows you to low-level format a

magnetic disk drive. Low-level formatting will completely and irreversibly

erase all data on the drive. Note that this utility will only format 512 byte

sectors. For other sector sizes, do not use this utility.

Verify – This option allows you to read all the sectors on a disk looking for

errors. When selected, this option displays the following message:

“Verify all sectors on the device

Press ESC to abort

Else press any key to continue”

Help – This option brings up a help screen with information about the current

menu.

Restore Default Setup – This option resets all device selections back to their

optimal settings. Select this option to restore all manufacturing defaults for the

specified adapter. Note that all user customized options will be lost upon sav-

ing after restoring default setup.

Exit this menu – This option allows you to leave the current menu screen and

return to the previous screen.

3.3 Exiting the SCSI BIOS Utility

Since some changes only take effect after your system reboots, it is important

that you exit this configuration utility properly. Return to the Main Menu and

exit by using the Quit option.

IMPORTANT: If you reboot the system without properly exiting the

utility, some changes may not take effect.
