Adapter Configuration and Installation

Determining the Booting Controller

The controller whose BIOS has the lowest address will take control over

the boot process and that controller will become the booting controller.

Therefore, in a system with multiple controllers, you must ensure that the

DPT I

O BIOS occupies the lowest address if you want the DPT controller

to be the booting controller.

• In systems with multiple DPT SmartRAID V controllers, the DPT

controller in the lowest PCI slot number will be assigned the lowest

BIOS address, and will be the booting controller.

• In systems with both SmartRAID IV and SmartRAID V controllers

BIOS addresses are assigned in a system dependent manner. In this

case, the booting controller can be determined by observing the

system messages during the boot process.

If your system contains multiple DPT controllers, you can confirm which

controller has been chosen as the booting controller by running SMOR.

This utility will display a list of all DPT controllers, starting with the

booting controller.

Controller IRQ and Address

During the host system boot process, the host system BIOS should

automatically configure the DPT I

O BIOS interrupt level (IRQ) and

memory location for all DPT PCI controllers in the system. If problems

occur, refer to Appendix B, “Troubleshooting” for additional help.
