2. The LEDs on your controller begin blinking. The selected port’s LED status

indicators blink on your controller until you select Done on this screen and press

<Enter>.

Note: Not all controllers have LEDs that are visible externally. If you are using an

add-in card in a blade server environment, the port identification or beaconing

capability does not work.

Erasing Ports and Controller Configuration

Note: When selecting this setting, all previous configuration settings are returned to

their factory default settings including the current protocol selection. Emulex

recommends performing this action to provide a clean environment for new

configuration settings to take effect.

To erase the ports and controller configuration:
1. On the configuration screen, select Erase Configuration and press <Enter>. A

warning appears asking if you want to erase the current configuration for all ports

of the controller.

2. Press <Y> to delete the configuration. You will receive another warning asking you

to confirm the permanent removal of the controller configuration.

3. Press <Y> to delete the configuration.
To exit the PXESelect utility after erasing the ports and controller configuration:
1. Follow the instructions on the bottom of the individual menu screens until you are

prompted to exit.

2. Press <Y> to exit. Depending on what settings were changed, a reboot may be

necessary.

Note: For older systems, depending on the memory allocation method supported,

the PXESelect utility automatically reboots even when there are no changes

made to the system.
