Chapter 7. IBM System x3690 X5 325
To enter the configuration of a specific adapter, select the PciROOT directly beneath the
adapter name. When you have multiple controllers of the same type, selecting the PciROOT
of any of the same adapter types will select all of them and present a panel that allows you to
select the specific adapter from within the configuration routine of the adapter type. For
example, Figure 7-22 demonstrates this process when two ServeRAID adapters are installed
in the server.

For adapters that are similar to the ServeRAID or Fibre Channel HBAs, look for the controller
configuration or properties. Inside the controller properties for the ServeRAID controllers, you
see a panel similar to the panel that is shown in Figure 7-23.
Figure 7-23 ServeRAID BIOS Configuration Utility Controller Properties: Disabling Boot ROM
Although not obvious by the description, disabling the Controller BIOS only disables the Boot
ROM execution during POST. All of the other operating characteristics of the adapter BIOS
and firmware remain intact.
