The Lifecycle Controller Advanced Hardware
Configuration wizards allow you to configure BIOS, iDRAC,
and certain devices such as NIC, and RAID controllers through Human
Interface Infrastructure (HII). HII is a UEFI-standard method for
viewing and setting a device's configuration. You can utilize a single
utility to configure multiple devices that may have different pre-boot
configuration utilities. The utilities also provide localized versions
of devices such as the BIOS setup.
Based on the system configuration, other device types
may also appear under Advanced Hardware Configuration if they support the HII configuration standard.
NOTE: When you update
the firmware on a BCM57xx and 57xxx adapters, you will notice that
the cards are displayed as QLogic. This is due to the acquisition
of Broadcom NetXtreme II by QLogic.
The Advanced Hardware Configuration wizard allows you to configure the following:
NOTE: You can also
use System Setup utility during startup to
configure the following devices. For more information about the System Setup utility, see Using The System Setup Program And Boot Manager.

Integrated Broadcom NICs are controlled by both BIOS
and the settings stored on the device itself. As a result, the Boot Protocol field in the HII of integrated NICs has
no effect; this setting is instead controlled by the BIOS on the Integrated Devices screen.
To set integrated NICs to an iSCSI or PXE boot mode,
select System BIOS Settings, and then select Integrated Devices. In the list for each embedded NIC,
select the appropriate value:
Enabled for no boot capability.
Enabled with PXE to use the
NIC for PXE boot.
Enabled with iSCSI to use
the NIC to boot from an iSCSI target.
