System setup — Advanced Hardware Conguration

The Lifecycle Controller Advanced Hardware Conguration wizards allow you to congure 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

conguration. You can utilize a single utility to congure multiple devices that may have dierent pre-boot conguration utilities. The utilities

also provide localized versions of devices such as the BIOS setup.

Based on the system conguration, other device types may also appear under Advanced Hardware Conguration if they support the HII

conguration standard.

NOTE

: When you update the rmware 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 Conguration wizard allows you to congure the following:
