System setup — Advanced Hardware Configuration

The 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.

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

NOTE:When you update the firmware on a BCM57xx and 57xxx adapters, you will notice that the cards are displayed as QLogic. This is due to the acquisition of Broadcom NetXtreme II by QLogic.

The Advanced Hardware Configuration wizard allows you to configure the following:

NOTE:You can also use System Setup utility during startup to configure the following devices. For more information about the System Setup utility, see Using the system setup program and boot manager.

System BIOS Settings
iDRAC Device Settings
NICs

NOTE:You can configure only one NIC at a time. For more information about the supported NIC cards, see white paper about Network Adapter at downloads.dell.com/solutions/general-solution-resources.

If the System Configuration Lockdown mode is enable from iDRAC UI, any configuration on the particular system will not be permitted.

NOTE:This feature is available in Enterprise license.

Following are the exceptions for this feature:

Power operations ( System power on, power off, reset)
Setting power budget, power profiles
Identify operations to blink an LED
Run diagnostics

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.
Enabled with iSCSI to use the NIC to boot from an iSCSI target.
