Enable or Disable Auto Boot Sector
This option automatically defines the boot sector of the target disk for the migration
boot process, which applies only to HP MSA1000 arrays. If there is no partition on the
target, the default boot sector format is 63 sectors. The default setting is disabled.
To enable or disable auto sector format select:
1. From the main configuration menu (Figure 4-2), select Configure Advanced
Adapter Parameters. The adapter configuration menu is displayed (Figure 4-9).
2. Select Enable or Disable. The Enable or Disable Auto Sector Format Select screen
(Figure 4-18) is displayed.

3. Press <Esc> until you exit the BIOS utility.

Change Link Speed
The default link speed is Auto Select, which automatically selects the link speed based
on the adapter model.
Note: The Link Speed setting will be overwritten by the FC driver and will not take
effect during a regular boot into the local OS. Therefore, setting the link speed
from the BIOS utility should only be used with boot from SAN.
Possible link speeds (depending upon your adapter model):

Auto Select – default

1 Gb/s

2 Gb/s

4 Gb/s
