Integrated SCSI Controller
If you select the Onboard SCSI setting, the server allocates memory in the
following order:
1.
Integrated Video Controller
2.
PXE Boot Agent Utility
3.
Integrated SCSI Controller
4.
PCI Slot 1
5.
PCI Slot 2
6.
PCI Slot 3
7.
PCI Slot 4
8.
PCI Slot 5
When the server is powered on, a limited amount of memory is allocated for PCI
devices during POST. If the memory resources are exhausted during POST, you
receive a 00180100 POST error mesage. Changing the boot priority can change
the sequence of memory resources allocation, resulting in the 00180100 POST
error message. For more information on the 00180100 POST error message, see
page 91.
You canalso select which PCI SCSI adapter is given boot precedence. The first
drive that is attached to the selected adapter will be assigned drive number 80L
and the operating system will start from that drive. The default for boot
precedence is Disabled. The range of choices depends upon the number of PCI
SCSI adapters installed in the server. You can enabled a virus-detection test that
checks for changes in the mast boot record at startup. You can also choose to run
POST in the enhanced mode or the quick mode.
