BIOS Boot Support Settings
The Nytro BIOS permits you to change the card properties. You can specify that the card is eligible for Seagate
software control or that the card is reserved for control by software that does not belong to Seagate. You can select
from the following settings in the Boot Support feature of the BIOS:
Enabled BIOS and OS permits the BIOS and the operating system driver to control the card.
Enabled BIOS Only permits the BIOS to control the card. The operating system driver does not control the card. Some
operating system drivers (such as Windows drivers) do not support this option.
Enabled OS Only permits the operating system to control the card. The BIOS does not control the card with this setting.
Disabled prevents the motherboard from considering the card as a boot device. Therefore you cannot boot from the
card. However, you can still see the card when you use the configuration protocol, and in all other respects, the card
performs as usual. You can use this option when you have multiple cards in your system and you do not plan to boot
from this card.
Changes to these settings display in the Status field on the main Adapter List menu. The new setting takes effect when
the BIOS reloads when you reboot the system.
Selecting Disabled prevents the user from booting the card, but in all other respects the card will work the same.
