Chapter 4

Boot Priority

The HP Server tc2100 is provided in two models, IDE or SCSI, and the model
type affects the boot priority. The HP Server searches for bootable devices in a
specific order, which is set up in the BIOS Utility.
IDE Model Boot Order:
1. Flexible disk drive
2. IDE CD-ROM drive
3. IDE hard drive (boot drive)
4. PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot)
5. PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot)
6. PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot)
7. PCI slot P4 (32-bit slot)
8. PCI slot P5 (32-bit slot)
SCSI Model Boot Order:
1. Flexible disk drive
2. IDE CD-ROM drive
3. IDE hard drive (if boot drive)
4. SCSI devices
5. PCI slot P1 (32-bit slot)
6. PCI slot P2 (32-bit slot)
7. PCI slot P3 (32-bit slot)
8. PCI slot P4 (32-bit slot)
9. PCI slot P5 (32-bit slot)
The SCSI Controller in the Server scans for a boot device starting at device ID 0
and works up through the ID numbers (0-15). The SCSI controller board is always
SCSI ID 7. The optional backup tape drive will use SCSI address ID 3.
For information about booting off of a hard disk connected to an accessory board,
see "Installing a Disk Array Controller Board" in Chapter 6.
