Boot Device Priority
By default, the HP NetServer searches for bootable devices in the order shown below. (This boot sequence
is configurable.)
1. CD-ROM drive.
2. Flexible disk drive.
3. Hard disk drives on embedded SCSI controller 0. This controller controls the server's internal mass
storage devices.
4. Embedded SCSI controllers 1 through 7. (These controllers are only accessible in servers equipped
with the optional SCSI Extender Board accessory.)
5. PCI slots 1 through 8.
NOTE If you plan to boot the system from a DAC card, you must reconfigure the hard drives
on any SCSI controllers that are in the boot sequence, so that those drives are not
scanned during start-up. Use the SCSI Controller Utility to do this, and also to
remove selected SCSI controllers from the boot sequence. To change the boot order,
use the Boot Menu or the SCSI configuration utility.
