Configuring the Boot Drive
The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot order specified in the System Setup program (see "Using the System Setup
Program" in your
User's Guide
). To boot the system from a hard drive or drive array, the drive(s) must be connected to the appropriate controller:

card).
