Setting the Bootable CD-ROM Feature

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.

   NOTE: You must perform this next step to save the new settings.

5.  Highlight Save Configuration to the ServeRAID Controller, then, press Enter.  The program displays a Configuration Saved message, and then returns  you to the Main Menu of the Mini-Configuration program.
6.  Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart the system.
