Notes 1. The Multiple Controller mode has two settings: Erase and Shrink. When this parameter is set to Erase, redundant copies of the ServeRAID BIOS are erased. When this parameter is set to Shrink, the extra copies of the ServeRAID BIOS are removed from memory, but stored for future use. When you have multiple ServeRAID adapters and controllers installed, you need only one active copy of ServeRAID BIOS. However, to ensure that you will have a copy of the ServeRAID BIOS available if the active copy becomes defective or unavailable, leave the Multiple Controller parameter set to Shrink. 2. Only one adapter or controller in the system can support the INT13 extensions. View Controller and PCI Information shows the ServeRAID adapter or controller hardware and PCI register information. Exit lets you exit the Mini-Configuration program. Setting the bootable CD-ROM feature: When you attach a CD-ROM drive to the ServeRAID adapter or controller and set the Bootable CD-ROM feature to Yes, the ServeRAID adapter or controller will attempt to start a CD that has a bootable startup partition, if no other adapter or controller in the system is currently using INT13 extensions. Only one adapter or controller in the system can support the INT13 extensions. To enable the Bootable CD-ROM feature: 1. Select Advanced Functions from the Main Menu of the Mini-Configuration program. 2. Select Configure BIOS Settings from the Advanced Functions menu. 3. Use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys to highlight BIOS Support for Bootable CD-ROM; then, press Enter to change No to Yes. Note This also changes No to Yes next to Display Boot CD-ROM Menu and BIOS Support for INT13 Extensions. 4. Ensure that the screen has Yes next to BIOS Support for Reading Partition Tables. If not, use the Up Arrow (↑) and Down Arrow (↓) keys to highlight BIOS Support for Reading Partition Tables; then, press Enter to change No to Yes. Netfinity 5500 M20 - Type 8662 97
