NOTE

The HP NetServer's video card can only be in PCI slots
1 through 4.

3. Consider the HP NetServer's boot order when selecting a slot on the

system board (Figure 6-1). If you are installing a SCSI controller board,
the priority of the controllers (where the BIOS will search for the boot
drive) is set by the board’s slot location.

By default the server searches for boot devices in this order:

a. CD-ROM drive

b. Flexible disk drive

c. Hard disk drives on embedded SCSI controller 0. This controller

controls the server's internal mass storage devices.
