Step 11. Determining the Boot sequences
The ARC-1200 SATA RAID controller is a bootable controller. If your
system already contains a bootable device with an installed operating
system, you can set up your system to boot a second operating sys-
tem from the new controller. To add a second bootable controller, you
may need to enter setup and change the device boot sequence, so that
the ARC-1200 SATA RAID controller heads the list configurable to allow
itself to act as a second boot device.
