-alone (single) disk drive. To make an array bootable: 1 Select Manage Arrays from the Main menu. 2 Select the array you want to make bootable and type Ctrl+B. This changes the selected array's number to 00, making it the controller's boot array. 3 Reboot the system. Bear in mind the following: 13-7 - HP Workstation xw4100 | Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S: Software Reference Guide - Page 330
If you delete array 00 for any reason, the next higher numbered array becomes the boot array. Mark the correct array as the bootable array by making it array 00. ■ If the controller is not a boot device, you can disable its runtime BIOS to conserve ROM. Deleting Arrays !
