If you have a system with a mixture of PCI and ISA or EISA boards perform the following: 1. Install the PCI controller board in slot 9. 2. Go to the EISA Configuration Utility. 3. Select "Step 3: View or edit details." 4. Select "PCI 9 - PCI SCSI Controller" and press F6. 5. Set the top Memory Address resource to "0C8000h" and press F10. 6. Press F7 and select "Lock/unlock boards." Select the PCI board in slot 9 and lock. 7. Exit and save the configuration. To Boot From an Embedded PCI Controller (SCSI A) Systems with only PCI boards (No EISA or ISA Boards) If you only have PCI boards in your NetServer, your system uses the following default PCI boot priority order: 1. Embedded SCSI A 2. PCI slots in the following order: 9, 8, 7, and 6. Systems with PCI and EISA or ISA boards If you have a system with ISA or EISA boards, you must set the BIOS and other memory resources for those boards to the top of the D0000h range. To Boot From an ISA Controller Board Set the BIOS address to C8000h. To Boot From an EISA Controller Board 1. Go to the EISA Configuration Utility. 2. Select "Step 3: View or edit details." 3. Set the controller's BIOS to C8000h. SCSI Controller Boot Order During boot, the system BIOS performs the following: 1. The system BIOS will start searching for BIOS ROMs at 0C8000h. 2. If an ISA, EISA or locked PCI BIOS controller is found, the system will call that BIOS to initialize. The controller BIOS that is called first will normally be the boot controller. 3. If the memory range at 0C8000h is not being used, the system will search through the list of PCI devices for the first PCI BIOS that will fit in the open memory range. The system will search the PCI devices in the following order: Embedded SCSI A, PCI slot 9, slot 8, slot 7, slot 6. If the system BIOS finds a PCI BIOS that fits in the open memory range, that PCI BIOS will be shadowed at 0C8000h and called to initialize. 4. After calling the BIOS ROM, the system will continue searching for BIOS ROMs at the address immediately following the BIOS ROM just called (repeat steps 2 through 4). 35

To Boot From an Embedded PCI Controller (SCSI A)
Systems with only PCI boards (No EISA or ISA Boards)
If you only have PCI boards in your NetServer, your system uses the following
default
PCI boot priority
order
:
1.
Embedded SCSI A
2.
PCI slots in the following order: 9, 8, 7, and 6.
Systems with PCI and EISA or ISA boards
If you have a system with ISA or EISA boards, you must set the BIOS and other memory resources for those
boards to the top of the D0000h range.
To Boot From an ISA Controller Board
Set the BIOS address to C8000h.
To Boot From an EISA Controller Board
1.
Go to the EISA Configuration Utility.
2.
Select "Step 3: View or edit details."
3.
Set the controller's BIOS to C8000h.
SCSI Controller Boot Order
During boot, the system BIOS performs the following:
1.
The system BIOS will start searching for BIOS ROMs at 0C8000h.
2.
If an ISA, EISA or locked PCI BIOS controller is found, the system will call that BIOS to initialize.
The controller BIOS that is called first will normally be the boot controller.
3.
If the memory range at 0C8000h is not being used, the system will search through the list of PCI
devices for the first PCI BIOS that will fit in the open memory range. The system will search the
PCI devices in the following order: Embedded SCSI A, PCI slot 9, slot 8, slot 7, slot 6. If the
system BIOS finds a PCI BIOS that fits in the open memory range, that PCI BIOS will be
shadowed at 0C8000h and called to initialize.
4.
After calling the BIOS ROM, the system will continue searching for BIOS ROMs at the address
immediately following the BIOS ROM just called (repeat steps 2 through 4).
