96 Installing the System
Specifies whether an adapter is eligible for configuration utility software
control or is reserved for control by other software (Enabled BIOS & OS,
Enabled BIOS Only, Enabled OS Only or Disabled).
Enabled BIOS & OS - SAS controller is controlled by both the BIOS and
OS driver.
Enabled BIOS Only - SAS controller is controlled only by the BIOS. This
setting may not be supported by all OS drivers. For example, it is not
possible to disable an adapter in a Windows driver.
Enabled OS Only - SAS controller is controlled only by the OS driver.
Disabled - SAS controller is not controlled by the BIOS when the SAS
controller is loaded. However, the adapter is still visible through the
configuration protocol.
Changes to the Boot Support setting are reflected in the Status field of the
Adapter List menu. The new setting will do not take effect until the BIOS is
reloaded (system reboot).
