Embedded NICs
The Embedded NICs option enables iSCSI or PXE Boot support. This option enables the server to
boot to the network (embedded NIC only) and attach to a PXE server with boot images. The option
also enables the NIC port to display in the Standard Boot Order (IPL) list. For NIC 1, the default
setting is PXE Boot, but for subsequent NICs, the default setting is Disabled. For more information
on PXE technology, see the Using PXE Technology on Compaq ProLiant Servers white paper on
the HP website (
).
When enabling PXE or iSCSI Boot support, the NIC does not display in the Standard Boot Order
(IPL) until the next reboot.
Diskette Write Control
The Diskette Write Control option is a simple toggle setting that sets the write controls for the diskette
drive. The available configuration settings are either Read and Write or Read Only. When Read
and Write is selected, the server can both read data from and write data to the diskette drive.
Diskette Boot Control
The Diskette Boot Control option is a simple toggle setting that enables the diskette drive to be used
as a boot device. When this option is disabled, the server cannot boot from the diskette drive. This
configuration setting is used as a security feature.
