The default setting is Enable for all the controllers and
PCI slots. If you select Disable, the disabled device
will not be configured and will be invisible to the
operating system. This is equivalent to unplugging
the device.
If the on-board SCSI controller is disabled and no
other controller and mass storage device are
installed, operating system startup cannot occur.
If the video controller is disabled and no video
adapter is installed, the server will have no video
capability. However, turning the server off and on
three times results in a default startup that enables
video again.
