System Setup-Advanced Hardware Configuration

Lifecycle Controller Advanced Hardware Configuration wizards allow you to configure BIOS, iDRAC, and certain devices such as NIC, and RAID controllers through Human Interface Infrastructure (HII). HII is a UEFI-standard method for viewing and setting a device's configuration. You can utilize a single utility to configure multiple devices that may have different pre-boot configuration utilities. The utilities also provide localized versions of devices such as the BIOS setup.

On the basis of system configuration, other device types may also appear under Advanced Hardware Configuration if they support the HII configuration standard.

The Advanced Hardware Configuration wizard allows you to configure the following:
  • System BIOS Settings
  • iDRAC Device Settings
  • NICs
    • NOTE: You can configure only one NIC at a time.

Integrated Broadcom NICs are controlled by both BIOS and the 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, and then select Integrated Devices . In the list for 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.
