How can I change the system boot sequence in order to boot from the
FastTrak disk array?
FastTrak disk array?
The boot sequence is controlled by the system BIOS. As far as the system
BIOS is concerned, the FastTrak Serial ATA RAID Controller and its defined
disk arrays are categorized as a SCSI device. This allows you to set the boot
sequence in your BIOS setup utility to boot from SCSI first, rather than IDE.

If there are multiple SCSI add-in controllers in the system, then the boot
sequence among is determined by their PCI slot priority. PCI slot #1 will be
first, slot #2 second, etc. If you want to boot from the disk array, put the
FastTrak Controller in the PCI slot where it will be accessed before the other
SCSI controllers.
