Adapter Properties screen
Use the Adapter Properties screen to view information about the adapter and determine whether the
adapter is to be controlled by the OS driver, the BIOS, or both.
To access the Adapter Properties screen, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to an adapter in the
Adapter List field on the Adapter List screen, and then press Enter.
The options for the Boot Support setting are:
• Enabled BIOS & OS (default): The adapter is controlled by both the BIOS and the operating system
driver.
• Enabled BIOS Only: The adapter is controlled only by the BIOS, not by the OS driver. Some OS
drivers do not support this setting. For example, a Microsoft® Windows® driver cannot be
prevented from controlling the adapter.
• Enabled OS Only: The adapter is controlled by the OS driver, not by the BIOS.
• Disabled: The BIOS does not control the adapter when loaded. However, the adapter is visible
through the Configuration Protocol.
Changes to this setting are reflected in the Status field on the Adapter List screen. The new setting does
not take effect until the system is rebooted.
Also use this screen to access other screens in the utility that enable you to perform RAID volume
configuration and management tasks or view information about the SAS topology of the adapter.
• To access the RAID Properties screen, move the cursor to the RAID Properties field, and then press
Enter.
• To access the SAS Topology screen, move the cursor to the SAS Topology field, and then press
Enter.
