5.3.5 Selecting a boot disk

You can select a boot disk in the SAS Topology screen. This disk is then

moved to scan ID 0 on the next boot, and remains at this position. This

makes it easier to set BIOS boot device options and to keep the boot

device constant during device additions and removals. There can be only

one boot disk.
Follow these steps to select a boot disk:

1. In the SAS BIOS CU, select an adapter from the Adapter List.
2. Select the SAS Topology option.

The current topology is displayed. If the selection of a boot device is

supported, the bottom of the screen lists the Alt+B option. This is the

key for toggling the boot device. If a device is currently configured as

the boot service, the Device Info column on the SAS Topology screen

will show the word “Boot”.

3. To select a boot disk, move the cursor to the disk and press Alt+B.

More keys for the SAS Topology display:

C = Clear Device Mappings for Non-Present Devices

R = Refresh SAS Topology

Enter = On a SAS Enclosure or Expander - Expand or Collapse Item

Enter = On a Disk Drive - Turn on the Locate LED (next key press turns off)
