3.4.4 Installing BIOS (Advanced)

The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is software contained on the Host Bus Adapter hardware itself which manages the

RAID volumes during system bootup. Typically, the BIOS does not have to be updated and changing it is not recommended

for non-advanced users.

If you must update the BIOS, start the Device Manager as described above, expand the “SCSI and RAID controllers” field and

right click on the appropriate Host Bus Adapter card. Select “Properties” and click on the BIOS tab of the XXXX dialog. If the

BIOS tab is not available, please contact Silicon Image for further instructions.
