About Creating a Bootable Drive in a Preboot Environment

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 create a logical drive for the HBA to enable you to boot from the HBA.

On an x86 system, you would do so using the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) MegaRAID Configuration menu of the BIOS Setup Utility (UEFI booting).
