Installation Considerations

If your system has an IDE hard disk, it may be assigned device number 80, which is the boot device. If your system does not have an IDE hard disk, a parallel SCSI HBA, or a RAID HBA, the first bootable FC hard disk configured (the one with the lowest ID) is assigned device number 80 and becomes the boot device. This HBA BIOS must be enabled if the boot device is connected to it.

If you have a selectable boot BIOS and want to boot to an FC hard disk, set the motherboard BIOS parameters to None or Not Installed. The ROM BIOS on the HBA automatically configures the FC peripherals.

Some system BIOS support selectable boot, which supersedes the HBA BIOS selectable boot setting. Select the HBA Fibre Channel hard disk in the system BIOS to boot from a Fibre Channel hard disk attached to it.
