Updating adapter list!
This message appears when fewer than four adapters are in the boot-order list, and more adapters
exist than are shown.
The SAS BIOS configuration utility can detect devices that the SAS BIOS cannot control (for example, tape
drives and scanners). However, the configuration utility can still be used to modify certain parameters for
these devices.
Configuration utility screens
All SAS BIOS configuration utility screens contain the following areas, starting at the top of the screen:
•
Header—Identifies the utility and version number.
•
Menu—Displays the title of the current screen and also identifies the adapter on screens other than
the Adapter List screen.
•
Main area—The main area for presenting data. This area has a cursor for item selection, and
horizontal and vertical scroll bars if necessary.
•
Footer—Provides general help information text.
Adapter List screen
The Adapter List screen is the first screen to appear when the SAS BIOS configuration utility opens. This
screen provides information about each adapter installed in the system.
If the host bus adapter is configured as the active boot controller in RBSU, you can perform the following
actions:
•
Change the position of an adapter in the boot-order sequence by moving the cursor to the Boot
Order field of the adapter, and then pressing the
-
or
+
key.
•
Add an adapter to the Boot Order list by moving the cursor to the Boot Order field of the adapter,
and then pressing the
Ins
key.
