IRQ Settings

BIOS automatically assigns the IRQs (hardware interrupts) for each PCI slot and
embedded device in the NetServer during boot. These assignments trigger the
NOS to enable the APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). APIC
takes advantage of the expanded set of non-conflicting IRQs for those accessory
boards requiring more than one IRQ per slot.

Boot Priority

Some accessory boards have preferred slot locations. If not, consider the boot
order when choosing the accessory board slot in which to install the board.
This is the default boot priority for the LH 6000r and LH 6000:
1. IDE CD-ROM drive with a bootable CD-ROM
2. Flexible disk drive with a bootable flexible disk
3. Embedded SCSI controller or integrated HP NetRAID controller
4. PCI boards in slots in descending order: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1
You can change this boot order using the Setup utility. Press [F2] during the boot
process as described in Chapter 10, "Configuring the HP Server."
