RocketRAID 2340 BIOS Utility
Using the DOS mode utility (load.exe):
Load xxx.xxx –c
Note: “xxx.xxx” refers to the BIOS image file.
A BIOS menu similar to the BIOS setup utility will be displayed.
This sub-menu allows the administrator to enable/disable various controller
functions.
Several of the more common functions are described below:
Stop on Error – disabling this option will prompt the card to automatically skip error
messages during bootup (broken array warnings), if the administrator does not input
the “Ctrl + H” command to access the BIOS menu.
Reallocate EBDA – this function refers to “Extended BIOS Data Area”.
Disabling this feature may remedy boot problems associated with motherboards that
halt after the RocketRAID 2340 BIOS screen is displayed.
INT13 – This option is required for booting from the controller. Disabling this feature
removes the card’s ability to boot the system. This may be useful for systems that
utilize multiple bootable controllers – some motherboards may not be able to load the
BIOS of each device during bootup, which may impair the system’s ability to boot
from a specific device.
Time waiting for Ctrl+H – The time period the BIOS will wait for a “Ctrl + H” key
command, before it starts hard disk scanning/detection. This may be useful for hard
disks that require a longer spin up time.
