Configuring a Symmetrix Boot Device

This section describes how to install the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system onto an EMC Symmetrix® storage system connected to an Intel-based x86 class server. You can then boot Windows from the storage system.

Configuring the Boot The procedure below describes how to configure the boot BIOS. The

BIOSprocedure assumes that the boot BIOS has been installed to the adapters already.

1.Connect the EMC storage array boot port to the adapter in the lowest-numbered PCI slot in the server. For example, if you have three adapters in the system in slots 2, 4, and 5, connect the cable to the adapter in slot 2. Do not connect cables to the other adapters at this time.

2.Boot the server, and press CTRL-Qwhen you see the QLogic banner:

Different HBA models may display different banners. Be sure to select

CTRL-Qfor the HBA you wish to configure.
