You can choose to install the HBA into a system that does not yet have an OS installed. You can then install the OS onto a physical drive to enable you to boot from the HBA. On a SPARC system, you would perform these actions through the OpenBoot Prom (OBP) environment. On an x86 system, you would do so through the BIOS Configuration utility.
Based on the type of system in which you are installing the HBA, follow the procedures in one of the following sections:
If you are installing the HBA into a SPARC system, go to Creating a Bootable Drive (SPARC).
If you are installing the HBA into an x86 system, go to Creating a Bootable Drive (x86).
