Enabling Option ROM scan
In order to configure an expansion card that has been installed or replaced, the
card’s Option ROM has to be enabled in the system board BIOS. The card’s
firmware is called by the system BIOS upon reboot and can be entered and
configured.
Option ROM can be enabled permanently (e.g. in case of a boot controller that
may require frequent setup) or temporarily for one-time configuration. When
permanently enabling a controllers’s Option ROM, keep in mind that only two
Option ROMs can be activated in the system board BIOS at a time.
Ê
Enter the BIOS.
Ê
From the
Advanced

setting to

boot sequence, a key combination is displayed temporarily to enter the
expansion card’s firmware.
