IBM xSeries 232: User's Reference
7. PCI Slot 5
8. Integrated SCSI Controller
If you select the Onboard SCSI setting, the server allocates memory in the
following order:
1. Integrated Video Controller
2. PXE Boot Agent Utility
3. Integrated SCSI Controller
4. PCI Slot 1
5. PCI Slot 2
6. PCI Slot 3
7. PCI Slot 4
8. PCI Slot 5
When the server is powered on, a limited amount of memory is allocated for
PCI devices during POST. If the memory resources are exhausted during
POST, you receive a 00180100 POST error message. Changing the boot
priority can change the sequence of memory resources allocation, resulting in
the 00180100 POST error message.
You also can select PCI SCSI adapter that is given boot precedence. The first
drive attached to the selected adapter will be assigned drive number 80L and
the operating system will start from that drive. The default for boot
precedence is Disabled. The range of choices depends upon the number of
PCI SCSI adapters installed in the server.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master
boot record at startup. You also can choose to run POST in the enhanced
mode or the quick mode.
Advanced Setup
Select this choice to change values for advanced hardware features, such as
cache control, and PCI configuration. This choice appears only on the full
Configuration/Setup Utility main menu.
A warning message appears above the choices on this menu to alert you that the
system might malfunction if these options are configured incorrectly. Follow the
instructions on the screen carefully.
— Core Chipset Control
Select this choice to modify settings that control features of the core chip set
on the system board.
Attention: Do not make changes here unless directed to do so by an IBM
authorized service representative.
— System Partition Visibility
Select this choice to choose whether the System Partition is visible or hidden.
— Memory Settings
Select this choice to manually disable or enable a bank of memory.
If a memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the
server can automatically disable the failing memory bank and continue
operating with reduced memory capacity. If this occurs, you must manually
enable the memory bank after the problem is corrected. Select Memory
Settings from the Advanced Setup menu, use the arrow keys to highlight the
bank that you want to enable; then, use the arrow keys to select Enable.
