Determining the Boot HostRAID Controller
Note: If your system will contain two or more bootable HostRAID
controllers, read this section. Otherwise, skip this section.
The Adaptec SAS 48300 HostRAID controller supports bootable drives
and arrays. The default setting of the HostRAID controller and system
Setup allows you to install and boot from either a disk drive connected
to the motherboard, or from a drive or array connected to the
HostRAID controller.
If you already have an operating system installed on a disk drive
connected to the motherboard and you want to boot a second
operating system from the Adaptec SAS 48300 HostRAID controller:
Note: Selecting the boot controller is done under the system BIOS
Setup Utility. Launching the system BIOS Setup Utility varies, see your
operating system user’s manual for more information.
1 Enter the system Setup.
2 Navigate to the disk drive boot sequence.
3 Move the boot controller to the top of the list.
