Chapter 2 Preparations
•
If a bootable device such as a PCI card or USB device is added, the boot order may change.
In BIOS Setup Utility, select HDD Priorities from Boot menu and confirm the boot order.
Boot → HDD Priorities → Check the display
If the boot device is an HDD and located under an optional RAID controller, the display is (Bus xx Dev
00) PCI RAID Adapter. Note that the value for xx changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID
Controller is installed.
• For a RAID controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if a hard disk drive on which
an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to Enabled. See Chapter 2 (1. System
BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide" for how to specify it.
