Installing Expansion Boards
Configuring PCI Expansion Boards Using the BIOS
Setup Utility
When installing PCI expansion boards in your server, the BIOS Setup utility must be
run to configure these boards. The BIOS Setup utility then will automatically detect
any expansion board during a server boot. The ROM addresses for these PCI
expansion boards will be assigned based on the PCI scan order and address
availability.
Boot Devices
The BIOS Setup utility allows you to define the boot device location as:
•
Onboard SCSI controller
•
PCI expansion slot (default)
•
ISA expansion slot
The BIOS assigns addresses beginning at the first available address the lower the
address, the higher the priority assigned to that device.
