About BBS

BBS is an abbreviation for BIOS Boot Specification. If both the system BIOS
and SCSI controller are BBS-compatible, you can use the system BIOS to
select the hard disk drive that boots the system, irrespective of the position of
the slot to which the SCSI controller is connected.

NOTE: All Toshiba SCSI host adapters and RAID controllers that this system
supports are compatible with BBS as well.

Installing the Expansion Card

WARNING: Do not touch any parts except those necessary for installing the
device. There are many high-voltage parts that may cause an electric shock.

When installing or removing the expansion card, shut the server down, turn
off the power, and pull out the power plug from the wall outlet. This may
cause an electric shock.

CAUTION: Put on gloves when installing or removing the expansion card.
Your hands may be injured by sharp projections on the optional boards or the
server.

operation” in Chapter 2.

1 If the server is running, shut it down and turn off the power.

2 For the EPS model, unplug the power cable.

3 For the EPS-R model, set the DC operate switch on the back of the server to
