BIOS (Updating BIOS) 36 ASUS KN97 User's Manual IV. BIOS Setup The motherboard supports two programmable Flash ROM chips: 5 Volt and 12 Volt. Either of these memory chips can be updated when BIOS upgrades are released. Use the Flash Memory Writer utility to download the new BIOS file into the ROM chip as described in detail in this section. All computer motherboards provide a Setup utility program for specifying the system configuration and settings. If your motherboard came in a computer system, the proper configuration entries may have already been made. [. . . ] There are eight possible ID numbers, 0 through 7. The ASUS PCI-SC200 and ASUS PCI-SC860 cards have fixed SCSI IDs of 7. The SCSI ID serves two purposes: It uniquely defines each SCSI device on the bus. It determines which device controls the bus when two or more devices try to use it at the same time. SCSI IDs on one channel do not interfere with the IDs on another channel. [. . . ]
