Appendix C SCSI BIOS Configuration Utility C-5
C.2.3 Boot Adapter List
The adapter boot order specifies the order in which adapters will boot when more
than one operating-system adapter is in a system.
Up to four of the total adapters in a system may be selected as bootable. To add an
adapter to the boot list, press Insert while on the Boot Adapter List. This puts the
cursor on the adapter select list. Use the arrow keys to select the desired adapter and
press Enter to add it to the end of the Boot Adapter List.
To remove an adapter from the boot list, press Delete while the cursor is on the
desired adapter in the Boot Adapter List.
Following are the options on the List menu.

Minus symbol (–) decreases an adapter's relative boot
order. Plus symbol (+) increases an adapter’s relative boot
order.

attached devices are ignored by the Fusion-MPT PCI SCSI
BIOS although they are still visible to the Configuration
Utility.
