USC and USC - LCE 67
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 Configuration
Part replacement configuration is an automatic update of the firmware, or
configuration, or both 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
• The part replacement configuration functionality is available only if the
system has a Dell vFlash SD card.
• Enable the Collect System Inventory On Restart so that USC-LCE
invokes
Part Firmware Update and Part Configuration Update
automatically on system startup.
NOTE: Ensure that Part Firmware Update and Part Configuration Update are
not disabled.
•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 turning the system on. In the
manual mode, you must press <F10> after part replacement during
reboot.
• The replaced card/part should belong to the same family as the previous
component.
