2. Use the arrow keys to select a boot option.
Note: By default, all options are turned on. Broadcom recommends that you
leave them enabled.
3. Do one of the following:
If you do not want to boot from an array, highlight Toggle INT13 Installation
l
using the arrow keys, and then press Enter to change the setting to Disabled.
(Broadcom recommends disabling INT13 only if you want to boot from another
device and leaving the rest of the options enabled.)
OR
To turn off warnings due to critical arrays when booting, highlight Toggle Pause
l
if Critical, and then press Enter to change the setting to Disabled.
OR
To turn off warnings due to offline arrays when booting, highlight Toggle Pause
l

OR
If you do not want to boot from an array, highlight Toggle INT13 Installation

OR
To allow the BC4000 Series RAID controller to work with newer Linux kernels
l
that load the libata driver, highlight Toggle Legacy Board ID, and then press
Enter to change the setting to Disabled.
When the libata driver is loaded by these newer Linux kernels, beginning with
some errata kernels for Fedora Core 2 and all kernels for Fedora Core 3, the
BC4000 Series RAID controller is recognized as a simple SATA controller and is
taken over by the operating system. This makes it impossible to be used as a
RAID controller. If this problem occurs on your system, any previously created
arrays do not appear as arrays, but only as a group of individual disks.
By turning off
Note: If the system has a BC4000 Series RAID controller board with legacy
board ID disabled and another board with legacy board ID enabled is added,
the system may experience unpredictable behavior due to the mismatch in
legacy board ID settings. To clear this condition, go to the Toggle Legacy
Board ID option and change it. This changes the ID on all the boards.
Depending on how you want this option set, you may have to set it once
(triggering an automatic reboot), and then change it back to the setting you
want (triggering a second reboot).
OR
To limit the number of disks that can spin up at the same time, reducing power
l
demands by the system, highlight Set Staggered Spinup Count, and then press
