Configuring Advanced Settings (Boot from SAN)
The OneCommand Manager application provides advanced settings for each boot type.
From the Boot from SAN Configuration dialog box, click Advanced Settings. A boot
type-specific dialog box allows you to enable options such as spinup delay and
autoscan. If you do not use advanced settings, the default values are used.
If you make changes you must click OK to save the changes and close the dialog box.
You can click Cancel and close the dialog box without saving the changes.
Note: If you do not enter the advanced settings and the configuration for the boot type
is new, default values are used. The default settings are given with descriptions
of the Advanced Adapter Settings dialog boxes in the following sections.
x86 Boot Advanced Adapter Settings Dialog Box
Using this dialog box, you configure advanced settings for the selected x86 adapter. All
checkboxes are cleared (off) by default. All changes require a reboot to activate.

installation if EDD 3.0 is enabled.

spinup delay is enabled, the BIOS searches for the first available boot device.
