Appendix E Serial Attached SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility E-11
Status Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for LSI Logic software
control, or whether it is reserved for control by non-LSI Logic
software:
• Enabled: The BIOS is either currently controlling the adapter or
will attempt to control the adapter upon reload.
• Disabled: The BIOS is either not controlling the adapter or will
discontinue control of the adapter upon reload. Whether Enabled
or Disabled, the user can still view and modify settings for the
adapter. The Boot Support setting in the Adapter Properties menu
can be used to change the status of this setting. The BIOS must be
reloaded (the system must be rebooted) in order for a new Boot
Support setting to take effect.
• Error: The BIOS encountered a problem with the adapter. Adapter
settings can be viewed and modified, but the available
information and functionality may be limited.
Boot Order The order in which adapters will boot when the system has more
than one adapter. Up to four of the total adapters in a system may
be selected as bootable.
Boot Support Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for LSI Logic software
control or whether it is reserved for control by non-LSI Logic
software. The options are:
• Enabled BIOS & OS (default): Both the BIOS and OS driver will
control the adapter.
• Enabled BIOS Only: The BIOS will control the adapter; OS drivers
will not control it. Some OS drivers do not support this setting.
For example, there is no way to disable an adapter in a Windows
driver.
• Enabled OS Only: The BIOS will not control the adapter; the OS
driver will control the adapter.
• Disabled: The BIOS will not control the adapter when loaded.
However, the adapter will still be visible through the
Configuration Protocol.
Changes to this setting are reflected in the Status field on the main
Adapter List menu. The new setting does not take effect until the
BIOS is reloaded (that is, until the system is rebooted).
