Field Description
Adapter The model number of the LSI controller.
PCI Bus The PCI Bus number (0x00–0xFF) that the system BIOS assigns to the adapter.

Status Indicates whether an adapter is eligible for LSI software control, or whether it is
reserved for control by non-LSI software:
•
Enabled: The BIOS is either currently controlling the adapter or will attempt to
control the adapter upon reload.
•
Disabled: The BIOS is either not controlling the adapter or will discontinue control
of the adapter upon reload.
Whether Enabled or Disabled, the user can still view and modify settings for the
adapter. The Boot Support setting in the Adapter Properties menu can be used to
change the status of this setting. The system must be rebooted in order for a new
Boot Support setting to take effect.

To add an adapter to the boot list, press Insert while on the Boot Order field. To

Order field. Press the - or + keys to change the adapter’s position in the boot order.
