3.4 Brief Theory of BIOS Operation
If Boot is enabled, the boot BIOS will scan for SAS hard disks (HD) connected to the RTM.
Discovered disk(s) are enumerated with drive letters and appended to a master list of “devices”
discovered on the host. Upon scan completion, the host will serially inspect the master list of
devices beginning with drive A, and attempt to boot from the first device it finds with a boot
record.
