38 Optimizing IBM Netfinity Servers for SAP R/3 and Windows NT
That is also true for hard disk drives. If a hard disk drive connects to the on-board
adapter and a hard disk drive connects to an additional hard disk controller in a
PCI slot, and the priority of the on-board adapter is higher, then the system will
always try to boot from the on-board adapter if an operating system is installed or
not, unless you disable the boot capability of the on-board adapter (Disable
BIOS). Then the status
bootable device is removed from the device connected to
the on-board adapter.
The only exception is the CD-ROM drive. If the boot option for the CD-ROM
enabled and there is a boot CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive the system will boot
from this CD-ROM. If there is no boot CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive, the system
will take the next device in the bootable device order.
The following is the scan order in which the system will look for bootable devices:
1. Floppy Drive
2. IDE Drive
3. EISA bus slot 1
4. EISA bus slot 2
5. EISA bus slot 3
6. EISA bus slot 4
7. PCI Bus #0, slot 1
8. PCI Bus #0, slot 2
9. PCI Bus #0, slot 3
10.PCI Bus #1, slot 1
11.SCSI A (On-board AIC-7880 SCSI controller)
12.SCSI B (On-board AIC-7880 SCSI controller)
13.PCI Bus #1, slot 2
14.PCI Bus #1, slot 3
2.5.3 Multiple ServeRAID Controller
The Netfinity 7000 supports up to five ServeRAID II adapters. If you installed
more than one ServeRAID adapter then the system will ask you the following
question during the next boot process.
