3.To disconnect all SCSI hard disk drives, unplug the power and SCSI bus cables connected to a SCSI adapter or controller. For details, see the installation and operation manual for your server.

4.To prepare your system to boot Windows over a Fibre Channel connection, you must do the following:

For detailed instructions on the HP ProLiant BL20p G2, refer to Configuring the HP ProLiant BL20p G2. For other detailed instructions, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation available for each adapter.

•For any server with IDE CD-ROM drives, you should disable BIOS on any of the server’s integrated SCSI adapter(s) because SCSI BIOS is not required to boot from CD-ROM.

•Disable or remove any IDE HDD drives.

•For servers with SCSI CD-ROM drives, enable BIOS on the SCSI channel that includes the CD-ROM; disable BIOS on any other integrated SCSI channels. Remove any SCSI hard disks on the same bus as the CD-ROM drive.

If the CD-ROM is on a SCSI controller and the BIOS is disabled for that controller, then you will not be able to boot from the CD-ROM. To boot from CD-ROM in the future, you will need to re-enable the BIOS for the CD-ROM controller.

•Disable BIOS on any other HBA BIOS in your system other than the QLogic HBA(s) designated for booting. See the documentation that accompanied the HBA for instructions.
