 If it is not enabled, enable it as shown below
 SetBIOSAttributes()
 AttributeName=IntegratedNetwork1 AttributeValue=Enabled
 AttributeName=BootMode AttributeValue=Bios
 CreateBIOSConfigJob()
 ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1
 Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from 2).
C) GetNICViews: ENUMERATE the DCIM_NICVIEW class to collect information about the NIC
FQDDs. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .
 Check if specified FQDD is present in NICViews, If not, go to NICError
D) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect
information about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .
 Loop through all boot sources, if boot source is IPL entry, set EnabledState=0 unless
HD
E) ChangeBootSourceState(): Use InstanceID=IPL EnabledState=0 source=(instanceID from D)
F) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect
information about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .
 Enable the HD boot source
G) ChangeBootSourceState(): Use InstanceID=IPL EnabledState=1 source=(instanceID from F)
H) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect
information about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .
 Change NIC boot source
I) GetBootSourceSettings(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_BootSourceSetting class to collect
information about the boot sources. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE .
 Check NIC boot order
J) ChangeBootOrderByInstanceID(): Use InstanceID=IPL source=(instanceID from I)
 SetNICAttributes(): Set the attribute LegacyBootProto to the value “iSCSI” and the
other desired NIC attributes and values
K) CreateBIOSConfigJob(): Use Target=(BIOS FQDD)
 ScheduledStartTime=TIME_NOW RebootJobType=1
L) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from F). See section 2.3 for a
definition of GET.
