Enabling or Disabling Boot BIOS

Boot BIOS is used to designate a fibre channel drive as the boot drive. To
enable a fibre channel drive as the boot drive, first enable Boot BIOS using
this procedure and then see Chapter 7 for directions on how to use Boot BIOS.

From the LighPulse Utility/NT Main menu screen:

1.

Select the desired HBA.

2.

Expand the category list and select Firmware Maintenance (see Figure
6-2).

3.

Select the Boot BIOS firmware image.

NOTE: If Boot BIOS Firmware is not listed, you will need to upgrade your HBA’s firmware.

4.

Click on the Enable button.

The Enable button toggles to disable when Boot BIOS is enabled.

Downloading PCI Configuration Files

The Configuration Data screen provides information about the data in each of
the configuration regions in the flash ROM of the selected HBA. You can
select a region in the drop-down region list to display data for that region.
Regions five, six and seven let you download PCI configuration data files to
the selected region.
