Boot Enable This option enables you to modify the system boot process for host systems with multiple peripheral controllers in cases where the controller BIOS does not provide effective or appropriate default operation. This setting is enabled by default. The host system uses the controller with the lowest BIOS address as the booting controller. Therefore, in a system with multiple Adaptec RAID controllers, you must ensure that the controller that you want to use as the booting controller occupies the lowest BIOS address, which usually corresponds with the lowest-numbered. If you disable this setting, the controller can not be used as a boot device. 2-16
