numbers are automatically renumbered. For example, if you delete disk group #2, disk group #3 is
then automatically renumbered as disk group #2.
Upgrading Firmware
You can download the latest firmware from the Dell Support website and flash it to the firmware on
the controller.
NOTE: Go to the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com
.
Enabling Boot Support
NOTE: See your system documentation to ensure the proper boot order is selected in the system BIOS.
In a multiple controller environment, multiple controllers can have their BIOS enabled. However, if you
want to boot from a specific controller, then enable the BIOS on that controller and disable it on the other
controllers. The system can then boot from the BIOS-enabled controller. Perform the following steps to
enable the controller BIOS.
1
Press <Ctrl><N> to access the
Ctrl Mgmt
menu screen.
2
Press <Tab> to move the cursor to
Enable Controller BIOS
in the
Settings
box.
