Selecting a Boot Disk
You can select a boot disk in the SAS T
OPOLOGY
window. The next time you boot the
computer, the firmware moves this disk to scan ID 0, making it the new boot disk. This
makes it easier to set BIOS boot device options and to keep the boot device constant
during device additions and removals. You can also select an alternative boot device. If
the BIOS cannot find the preferred boot device when it loads, it will attempt to boot from
the alternate device.
Follow these steps to select a boot disk:

In the SAS2 BIOS Configuration Utility, select an adapter from the A
DAPTER

Select the SAS T
OPOLOGY
option. If a device is currently configured as the boot
device, the D
EVICE
I
NFO
column on the SAS T
OPOLOGY
window lists the word
Boot
.
If a device is currently configured as the alternate boot device, the D
EVICE
I
NFO
column shows the word
Alt
.

To select the preferred boot disk, move the cursor to the disk and press
Alt+B
.
4.
To remove the boot designator, move the cursor to the current boot disk and press
Alt+B

This controller will no longer have a disk designated as boot.

The LEDs on the disk drives will flash as described above if the
firmware is correctly configured and the drives are in a disk enclosure.
