PC Server 330 - Boot error after adding ServeRAID II adapter

Applicable to: World-Wide

Boot Error After Adding ServeRAID II Adapter

Symptom:
"Non system disk" or "No Boot Device found" errors reported after installing a ServeRAID II adapter in any of the Primary PCI slots.

-- OR --

The system boots to a bootable device attached to the ServeRAID II adapter instead of booting to a bootable device attached to the integrated ServeRAID controller.

Problem Isolation Aids:
The system is a PC Server 330 type 8640 model PT0/PB0/PM0 that is configured to boot to a device attached to the integrated ServerRAID controller.

A ServeRAID II adapter is located in a Primary PCI slot (PCI slots 1,2, and 3 are Primary PCI slots). This adapter may or may not have a bootable device attached to it.

Fix:
Move the ServeRAID II adapter to the Secondary PCI slots so the System will boot to the integrated ServeRAID controller.

Note: PCI slots 4,5, and 6 are Secondary PCI slots.
