Target IP —When the Adapter Boot Mode is set to Manual , you must use this field to specify the IP address of the
intended iSCSI boot target.
Target Port —Enter the port used by the target. (By default, iSCSI uses port 3260. Do not modify this unless it is
necessary.)
Boot LUN —Enter the LUN of the boot device. (Depending on your configuration, it may not be necessary to change
this option.)
iSCSI Name —Enter the iSCSI name of an intended boot target. (Depending on your configuration, it may not be

Parameters .
Dynamic iSCSI Boot Configuration
Dynamic iSCSI boot configuration primary and alternate boot device settings include the following:
Security Settings —Press <Enter> to access Primary Boot Security Settings. Press <Enter> to enable or disable CHAP
and bidirectional CHAP, and to configure the CHAP Name and CHAP Secret. (Depending on your configuration, it may

DHCP Dynamic iSCSI Boot Configuration —Select this option to have the initiator acquire its IP address from a
DHCP server. The initiator also acquires all boot parameters for an iSCSI target if the boot parameters are specified on
the DHCP. This setting requires advanced users to manually input vendor-specific information the DHCP server and in
the Vendor ID field of the DHCP Boot Settings area.
Vendor ID specifies the identification string sent to DHCP server.
Alternate Client ID is the additional filtering option to set the boot device.
Configure Parameters for the secondary adapter.
Select Host Adapter if you have multiple adapters in your system, select, view, and configure the settings of a
specific adapter.
Configuring Parameters for a Secondary Adapter
If login to the primary boot target fails, the BIOS should attempt to log in to the secondary target using the same technique.
BIOS attempts to log in to boot targets configured on different ports, depending on their configuration. iSCSI ports can reside
on physical interfaces and may exist on separate adapters.
When adapters of the same model number are present in a system, Fast! UTIL lists all of the iSCSI interface ports. Select a
specific port of a secondary adapter to configure its parameters.
