ports. Select this choice to enable or disable the mini-PCI Express SAS and
Ethernet controllers, and standard connectors (such as serial and parallel).
Enable is the default setting for all controllers. If you disable a device, it cannot
be configured, and the operating system will not be able to detect it (this is
equivalent to disconnecting the device). If you disable the mini-PCI Express SAS
controller and no SAS adapter is installed, the server will have no SAS capability.
If you disable the integrated Ethernet controller and no Ethernet adapter is
installed, the server will have no Ethernet capability.
