Embedded NICs
The Embedded NICs option enables iSCSI or PXE Boot support. This option enables the server to boot to
the network (embedded NIC only) and attach to a PXE server with boot images. The option also enables
the NIC port to display in the Standard Boot Order (IPL) list. For NIC 1, the default setting is PXE Boot, but
for subsequent NICs, the default setting is Disabled. For more information on PXE technology, see the
Using PXE Technology on Compaq ProLiant Servers white paper on the HP website
( ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/management/pxe_wp.pdf ).
When enabling PXE or iSCSI Boot support, the NIC does not display in the Standard Boot Order (IPL) until
the next reboot.
Diskette Write Control
The Diskette Write Control option is a simple toggle setting that sets the write controls for the diskette
drive. The available configuration settings are either Read and Write or Read Only. When Read and
Write is selected, the server can both read data from and write data to the diskette drive.
Diskette Boot Control
The Diskette Boot Control option is a simple toggle setting that enables the diskette drive to be used as a
boot device. When this option is disabled, the server cannot boot from the diskette drive. This
configuration setting is used as a security feature.
Advanced Memory Protection
The Advanced Memory Protection option provides additional memory protection beyond ECC.
