AcceleRAID 170 Installation Guide

The available BIOS options are:

• BIOS disabled / enabled

• CD-ROM boot disabled / enabled

• 2GB / 8GB drive geometry

This option must be enabled in order to toggle the CD-ROM boot parameter 
shown in the BIOS Options menu. The BIOS must also be enabled in order 
to boot from any device (e.g., CD-ROM) or system drive configured on the 
controller, or to access any DOS partition on any drive configured on the 
controller. 

When BIOS Disable or Enable is selected, the following message will be 
displayed. Press the Esc key to restart the system and then watch the screen 
for the following messages.

The default for this option is for the CD-ROM boot to be disabled (e.g., the 
system will boot from a hard drive, even if there is a bootable CD-ROM 
installed–attached to the AcceleRAID 170). If the CD-ROM boot option is 
enabled, and if a bootable CD is installed in the CD-ROM drive, the system 
can boot from the CD, you will also get an option to bypass the CD-ROM 
boot feature.

If the CD-ROM boot option is enabled, the CD-ROM attached to the 
AcceleRAID 170 will take priority over the disk drives. For example, under 
MS-DOS, the disk drive that is normally Drive C will become Drive D. All 
subsequent drive IDs will similarly be moved down.
