As an installation option, you can choose to install the HBA into a system that does not yet have an OS installed. With this installation option, if you plan to use the HBA as your boot device, you can optionally create a RAID volume for the HBA. You can then install the OS onto a physical drive or onto that RAID volume to enable you to boot from the HBA. On a SPARC system, you would perform these actions through the FCode utility. On an x86 system, you would do so either through the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Drive Control menu of the BIOS Setup utility (UEFI booting) or through the BIOS Configuration utility (Legacy BIOS booting).
