Figure 3-12. Installing a Hard-Drive
Configuring the Boot Device
If you plan to boot the system from a hard drive, the drive must be attached to the primary (or boot)
controller. The device that the system boots from is determined by the boot order specified in the
System Setup program.
The System Setup program provides options that the system uses to scan for installed boot devices. See
"Using the System Setup Program" on page 23 for information about the System Setup program.
