* * * * * * * * * * * * SAS BIOS * * * * * * * * * * *
A SAS BIOS is the bootable ROM code that manages SAS hardware resources. It is
specific to a family of Avago Technologies SAS controllers or processors.
A SAS BIOS integrates with a standard system BIOS, extending the standard
disk service routine provided through INT13h.
During the boot time initialization, the SAS BIOS determines if there are other
hard disks, such as an IDE drive, already installed by the system BIOS. If
there are, the SAS BIOS maps any SAS or SATA drives it finds behind the drive(s)
already installed. Otherwise, the SAS BIOS installs drives starting with the
system boot drive. In this case, the system boots from a drive controlled by
the SAS BIOS. The Avago Technologies SAS BIOS supports the
BIOS Boot Specification (BBS).
The next section, "Boot Initialization with BIOS Boot Specification (BBS),"
discusses selecting boot and drive order.
* * * * * * * * * * * Features * * * * * * * * * * * *
The SAS BIOS features include:
o Configuration for up to 16 adapters-any 4 can be chosen for
INT13 (bottom) support
o Support for Message Passing Technology
o Support for the following family of second-generation SAS Controllers:
o SAS2004
o SAS2008
o SAS2108
o SAS2116
o SAS2208
o SAS2308
o Support for SAS and SATA devices
o Support for Integrated RAID initialization (with proper firmware)
* * * * Boot Initialization with BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) * * *
The SAS BIOS provides support for the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) which
allows you to choose which device to boot from by selecting the priority.
To use this feature, the system BIOS must also be compatible with the BBS. If
your system supports the BBS, then you will use the system BIOS setup menu to
select the boot and drive order. In the system BIOS setup, the Boot Connection
Devices menu appears with a list of available boot options. Use that menu to
select the device and rearrange the order. Then exit to continue the boot
process.
* * * * * * * * * CD-ROM Boot Initialization * * * * * * * * *
The SAS BIOS supports boot initialization from a CD-ROM drive.
The five types of supported emulation are:
o No emulation disk
o Floppy 1.2 Mbyte emulation disk
o Floppy 1.44 Mbyte emulation disk
o Floppy 2.88 Mbyte emulation disk
o Hard disk emulation
The type of emulation assigns the drive letter for the CD-ROM. For example,
if a 1.44 Mbyte floppy emulation CD was loaded, then the CD-ROM drive would
become the designated A: drive, and the existing floppy would become drive B:.
* * * * * * Starting the SAS BIOS Configuration Utility * * * * * *
If you have SAS BIOS version 7.XX, and it includes the SAS BIOS Configuration
Utility, you can change the default configuration of your SAS host adapters.
You may decide to alter these default values if there is a conflict between
device settings or if you need to optimize system performance.
You can see the version number of the SAS BIOS in a banner displayed on your
computer monitor during boot. If the utility is available, this message
also appears on your monitor:
Press Ctrl-C to start Avago Technologies Configuration Utility...
This message remains on your screen for about five seconds, giving you time
to start the utility. If you decide to press "Ctrl-C", the message changes
to:
Please wait, invoking SAS Configuration Utility...
After a brief pause, your computer monitor displays the Main Menu of the
SAS BIOS Configuration Utility.
These messages may appear during the boot process:
1. "Adapter removed from boot order!" appears when an adapter is removed from
the system or relocated behind a PCI bridge.
2. "Adapter configuration may have changed, reconfiguration is suggested!"
appears if none of the information in the NVRAM is valid.
3. "Updating Adapter List!" appears when less than four adapters are in the
boot order and more adapters exist than are shown.
4. "Preferred boot device is missing, reconfiguration is suggested!" appears
if the user has selected a preferred or alternate boot device and is not
detected during BIOS initialization.
IMPORTANT: The SAS BIOS Configuration Utility is a powerful tool. If, while
using it, you somehow disable all of your controllers, pressing
Ctrl-A (or Ctrl-E on version 5.00 or later) after memory
initialization during reboot allows you to re-enable and
reconfigure.
Note: Not all devices detected by the Configuration Utility can be
controlled by the BIOS. Devices such as tape drives and scanners
require that a device driver specific to that peripheral be
loaded. The SAS BIOS Configuration Utility does allow parameters
to be modified for these devices.
**************************************************************************

Viewing and modifying settings for the adapter is allowed but the
information and functionality available may be limited. The possible
error conditions are:
Device Initialization Failed: Device initialization has failed. May be due to invalid IO Port address.
Issuing IOC Facts failed: This error may be due to FW fault state.
Bus Master Error: This error may be due to bus mastering bit was not set
PCI Chip Malfunctioning: If the adapter was not found or was not properly functioning.
Discovery Error: The Phy discovery error displayed in D_ERR 0xXXXXXXXX on Phy X.
Boot Order
The Boot Order specifies the order in which adapters will boot when
more than one adapter is in a system. Up to four of the total
adapters in a system may be selected as bootable.
Boot Support
Specifies whether an adapter is eligible for Avago software control
or is reserved for control by non-Avago software
(Enabled BIOS & OS, Enabled BIOS Only, Enabled OS Only, Disabled,
default: Enabled BIOS & OS).
If Enabled BIOS & OS, then both the bios and OS driver will control the
adapter.
If Enabled BIOS Only, then the adapter will be controlled by the bios,
but OS drivers will not control it. This setting may not be supported by
all OS drivers, for example there is no means to disable an adapter in a
Windows driver.
If Enabled OS Only, then the bios will not control the adapter but the
OS driver will control the adapter.
If Disabled, then the bios will not control the adapter when loaded.
However, the adapter will still be visible through the Configuration
Protocol.
Changes to this setting will be reflected in the Status field on the
main Adapter List menu. The new setting will not take effect until the
bios is reloaded (e.g., system rebooted).
