Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility
Notes
■ If the controller is not a boot device, you can disable its runtime
BIOS, see page A-10. When the BIOS is disabled, it does not
occupy any of the expansion ROM region of the system’s
memory map. In a system with several expansion ROMs,
disabling the BIOS may be helpful.
■ You cannot make a non-00 array bootable while the array is in a
build/verify or reconfiguration process.
■ The controller always uses the lowest numbered array as its
bootable array. If you delete Array 00 for any reason, the next
lowest numbered array becomes the bootable array. Use the
Ctrl+B option to mark the correct array as the bootable array
(by making it Array 00).
■ If you want to boot from a stand-alone (single) disk drive, first
create a volume on that disk.
■ The system BIOS provides additional tools to modify the boot
order. For more information, refer to your system documentation.
