26 SAS 5 BIOS

Booting With Multiple Adapters

When booting a system with multiple SAS 5 HBAs, ensure that the boot disk is attached to the adapter

at the lowest ID. Selection of the system boot device is performed in the system BIOS. Proper boot order

must be selected in the adapter BIOS if the existing adapters are moved within the system. Failure to do

so makes the BIOS display error messages.

NOTE: System boot is not supported from an external device attached to a SAS 5/E Adapter. See the Dell Support

website at support.dell.com for the latest information on booting from external devices.
