58 USC and USC - LCE
• Broadcom 57710 NetXtreme II 10GigE
Important
• You can configure only one NIC at a time.
• Integrated Broadcom NICs are controlled both by the BIOS and by
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 , then select
Integrated Devices . On this screen, you will see a list of each embedded
NIC—select the appropriate value:
Enabled for no boot capability,
Enabled with PXE to use the NIC for PXE boot, or Enabled with iSCSI
to use the NIC to boot from an iSCSI target.
Part Replacement
Part replacement configuration is an automatic update of the firmware for a
new part to the level of the previous part if enabled; the update occurs
automatically when you reboot your system after replacing the part. It is
activated by a license, and can be disabled remotely, as well as through the
USC interface.
Prerequisites
• Part replacement configuration is a licensed feature. Your system should be
equipped with a Dell-licensed vFlash card for this functionality.
•When
Collect System Inventory On Restart is disabled, the cache of
system inventory information may become stale if new components are
added without manually entering USC after power on.
• The replaced card should belong to the same family as the previous
component.
Supported Devices
The following devices can have part replacement firmware updates:
•NICs (Broadcom)
• PERC, SAS and CERC series 6 and 7
• Power Supply Units
