9.5 Disabling RAID Boot Options
When the N2000H V3 is equipped with dual RAID controller cards, to avoid a failure to
display the boot option for installing the OS due to insufficient BIOS space, you are advised
to disable the other RAID boot options.
Scenarios
When multiple boot options are configured for a Appliance, the system may fail to display all
the boot options due to limited space of the BIOS Option ROM. To avoid the failure to
display the boot option for installing the OS, disable the other boot options.
The N2000H V3 supports the following configurations with dual RAID controller cards:
LSISAS3108 controller card on the mainboard, standard LSISAS3108 controller card in
a PCIe slot, and SoftRAID
LSISAS3008 controller card on the mainboard, standard LSISAS3008 controller card in
a PCIe slot, and SoftRAID
The RAID controller card boot options are enabled by default. To configure the system to
boot from a RAID controller card, you need to disable the other RAID boot options. For
example, to configure the system to boot from the LSISAS3108 controller card on the
mainboard, disable the boot options for the standard LSISAS3108 controller card in a PCIe
slot and SoftRAID.
This topic describes how to disable the boot options for the LSISAS3108 controller card on
the mainboard, standard LSISAS3108 controller card in a PCIe slot, SoftRAID, LSISAS3008
controller card on the mainboard, and standard LSISAS3008 controller card in a PCIe slot.
