the McRAID storage manager with ArcHttp proxy server installed,

Step 14. Determining the Boot Sequences
For PC system:
• 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller is a bootable controller. If your system
already contains a bootable device with an installed operating sys-
tem, you can set up your system to boot a second operating sys-
tem from the new controller. To add a second bootable controller,
you may need to enter setup of motherboard BIOS and change the
device boot sequence so that the 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller heads
the list. If the system BIOS setup does not allow this change, your
system may be not configurable to allow the 6Gb/s SAS RAID con-
troller to act as a second boot device.
