The following section describes the settings:

space in upper memory. This setting must be enabled if you are booting from an FC hard disk

attached to the HBA. The default is Disabled.

Frame Size—Sspeciﬁes the maximum frame length supported by the HBA. The default size is

2048, which provides maximum performance for F-Port (point-to-point) connections.

speciﬁed in this setting. The default ID is 0.

Selectable Boot Settings

This option enables you to select the node name from which you want to boot. Once enabled, this option

forces the system to boot on the selected FC hard disk, ignoring any IDE hard disks attached to your

system. If you disable this option, the system looks for a boot device (as selected in the system BIOS). In

disabled mode, the Boot ID and Boot LUN parameters have no effect.
Some new system BIOS support selectable boot, which supersedes the Fast!UTIL selectable boot setting.

To boot from an FC hard disk attached to the HBA, select the HBA Fibre Channel hard disk on the

system BIOS.
