Selectable Boot Settings
The Selectable Boot Settings option is accessed from the Configuration Settings menu. If you enable this option, you can select the node name from which you want to boot. Once enabled, this option forces the system to boot on the selected FC hard disk, ignoring any IDE hard disks attached to your system. If you disable this option, the system looks for a boot device (as selected in the system BIOS). In disabled mode, the Boot ID and Boot LUN parameters have no effect.
