28 BIOS Features
IDE drives, as these tend to get lower drive letter assignments
than FC devices.
5.1.3 LSI BIOS Boot Specification (BBS)
The LSI BIOS provides support for the BIOS Boot Specification
(BBS), which allows you to choose which device to boot from by
selecting the priority.
To use this feature, the system BIOS also must be compatible with
the BBS. If your system supports the BBS, then use the system
BIOS setup menu to select the boot and drive order. In the system
BIOS setup, the Boot Connection Devices menu appears with a
list of available boot options. Use that menu to select the device
and rearrange the order. Then exit to continue the boot process.
5.2 Starting the LSI Boot BIOS Configuration Utility
The LSI boot BIOS allows you to change the default configuration
of your host adapters, using the embedded BIOS Configuration
Utility (CU). When the BIOS loads, the following message appears
on your monitor:
Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Configuration Utility...
This message remains on your screen for about 5 seconds, giving
you time to start the utility. After you press CTRL+C, the message
changes to:
Please wait, invoking LSI Configuration Utility...
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main menu
of the BIOS Configuration Utility.
NOTE:
NOTE:
The Boot feature is disabled by default on all host adapters
shipped from ADLINK.
NOTE:
NOTE:
Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be
controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and scan-
ners require loading a device driver specific to that peripheral.
The BIOS Configuration Utility allows parameters to be modi-
fied for these devices.
