Following this installation proceed to Verifying HBA Driver and Digital

the manufacturer’s documentation available for each adapter.
• For any server with IDE CD-ROM drives, you should disable
BIOS on any of the server’s integrated SCSI adapter(s) because
SCSI BIOS is not required to boot from CD-ROM.
• Disable or remove any IDE HDD drives.
• For servers with SCSI CD-ROM drives, enable BIOS on the
SCSI channel that includes the CD-ROM; disable BIOS on any
other integrated SCSI channels. Remove any SCSI hard disks
on the same bus as the CD-ROM drive.
If the CD-ROM is on a SCSI controller and the BIOS is disabled for
that controller, then you will not be able to boot from the CD-ROM.
To boot from CD-ROM in the future, you will need to re-enable the
BIOS for the CD-ROM controller.
• Disable BIOS on any other HBA BIOS in your system other
than the QLogic HBA(s) designated for booting. See the
documentation that accompanied the HBA for instructions.
