Disable boot driver for Dell 12G SAS HBAs

Is there any way to disable the boot driver for the Dell 12G SAS HBAs. When connected to an ME484 booting takes almost 5 min. longer.

@Anonymous If there no other way to do it, please make it possible.

    Hhhappe,

     

    You can accomplish this by entering the BIOS (F2), and under Integrated Devices click on Slot Disablement. For the specific PCIe slot set the slot disablement to "Boot Driver Disabled". This will allow the slot to be visible to the OS, but will not be available as a boot device.

    Let me know how it goes.
