Dell PERC 4/im - Manual (Page 8)

On the Main menu, two selections are the Boot Adapter List and Global Properties menus. These menus can be
accessed by pressing the F2 key.
The Boot Adapter List menu allows selection and ordering of boot channels.
The Global Properties menu allows changes to global scope settings.
You can only access channels with LSI Logic Control enabled. To get to the Integrated Mirroring feature menu,
select an adapter to first get to the Adapter Properties menu.
To select a channel, use only the arrow keys and enter key. Then, press Enter to view and modify the selected
channel’s properties (and to gain access to the attached devices). After selecting a channel and pressing Enter, the
SCSI bus is scanned and the Adapter Properties menu appears.
Adapter Properties Menu
The Adapter Properties menu allows you to view and modify channel settings. It also provides access to a channel’s
device settings. To display this menu, select a channel under Adapter field on the Main menu and press Enter.
Table 2-3. lists the fields on this menu and their descriptions.
NOTE: If the field displays in gray or yellow text it is available for changes. If it displays in white text
it is not available.
