 “Setting Up the BIOS” on page 43
Enabling the
MBA Driver
To enable MBA, perform the following procedure:
1. Power on the system with the card installed.
2. When prompted, enter CTRL-S to enter the NIC setup menu.
3. Set the pre-boot to PXE, which is the default setting.
Disabling the
MBA Driver
To disable MBA, perform the following procedure:
1. Power on the system with the card installed.
2. When prompted, enter CTRL-S to enter the NIC setup menu.
3. Set the pre-boot to None.
Note
If you set PXE to None on all the ports on the adapter, you will not be
able to access the CTRL-S prompt and NIC setup menu.
Note
The message prompting you to press CTRL+S is displayed only
once even if the computer has more than one ANC10S Interface
Adapter. After you press CRTL+S, the Broadcom Comprehensive
Control Manager displays all the Broadcom devices that are
installed in the computer and that you can configure.
Setting Up the
BIOS
To boot from the network with the MBA, make the MBA enabled adapter
the first bootable device under the BIOS. This procedure depends on the
system BIOS implementation. Refer to the user manual for the system
BIOS implementation for instructions.
