Configuring the Boot Device
If you plan to boot the system from a hard drive, the drive must be attached to the primary (or boot) controller. The device that the system boots from is
determined by the boot order specified in the System Setup program.
The System Setup program provides options that the system uses to scan for installed boot devices. Refer to your system's User's Guide for information about
the System Setup program.
