Platform: Intel (32-bit) The adapter boot BIOS provides x86 boot capability through the use of INT13
system BIOS calls. The adapter Boot BIOS supports:

(1) Multi-topology: Fabric Point to Point; FC-AL: Private loop and Public loop
topologies.
(2) Multi-initiators: The adapter BIOS supports up to 32 Emulex LightPulse
adapters in a system.
(3) Multi-LUNs: The adapter BIOS supports up to 256 LUNs.
(4) Multi-boot: The adapter BIOS complies with the BIOS Boot Specification
(BBS).
(5) EDD (Enhanced Disk Drive Services): The adapter BIOS supports both the
EDD 3.0 and EDD 2.1 specifications depending on the selection in the
adapter BIOS configuration utility.
(6) Boot fail over feature: There are eight boot entries that can be
configured in the adapter BIOS configuration utility. If the first boot
entry fails the system is still able to boot from the second configured
boot entry and so on.

***** Important Note ******

(1) BIOS downloading

The adapter boot BIOS image has increased in size to 58.0K. As a result, it might
fail during the downloading of the BIOS .prg file. One way to correct the
problem is to download the firmware .AWC file WITHOUT the BIOS image
(for example: dd390a7.awc) and then download the adapter boot BIOS .prg file.
(2) BIOS was not activated (Enabled)

If the adapter boot BIOS is not enabled by DosLpCfg or an Emulex O.S.
configuration utility, the adapter and the drives connected to the adapter
cannot not be configured to be used to boot the system. In addition if there is
a "No BIOS support" message displayed next to this adapter in the adapter BIOS
configuration utility the user must use DosLpCfg or other Emulex O.S.
configuration utility to enable the adapter boot BIOS in order to allow this adapter
to be used a bootable controller by the host system.

Introduction
For information about any firmware release, see the release notes on the Emulex Web site. Release
notes include information such as new features, compatibility, known issues and resolved known issues.
This manual does not contain the procedures themselves. It serves as a guide to the publication that
contains the procedures you need.

Prerequisites
• Local boot disk.
• The intended Fibre Channel target should be big enough to hold all system files and the swap
slice of the current local boot disk.

Things to Know Before You Download
• Before you download the OneConnect or LightPulse files, create a directory for them.
• As a measure of protection, ensure that critical files on your local boot disk are backed up.
• Firmware may be bundled with boot code. Boot code allows you to designate a device that is
attached to the adapter as a boot drive. If you select a firmware image that includes boot code,
the update procedure will load both the new firmware and the boot code at the same time. After
updating, refer to the Emulex Boot Manual for procedures on enabling the boot code on your
adapter.
• Emulex firmware files support both OneConnect and LightPulse adapters.
• For OneConnect adapters:
• Firmware and boot code are provided in a single flash image called a .UFI file.
• The UFI file contains all of the files that support all OneConnect adapters. The latest
files for your adapter are installed automatically when you use an Emulex utility to
update the firmware.
• The UFI file contains both firmware and boot code.
• For LightPulse adapters:
• Firmware is provided in a .ZIP file as a .ALL file or a .AWC file. You must manually unzip
the .ALL or .AWC file from the .ZIP file before you can use an Emulex utility to install it.
• Firmware differs between adapter models. Make sure you download the appropriate
firmware for your adapter.
• The .ZIP file may or may not include a boot code (.PRG) file.

Support Resources for PRIMERGY Servers Emulex Product Installation, Upgrades, and Configuration
Installing, upgrading and configuring Emulex products can be easily accomplished by following the checklists provided at the end of this document.
A word about Emulex configuration parameters:
Emulex drivers and software provide a great degree of configurability. In particular, each driver has a number of configuration parameters that allow the customization of the behavior of the driver. Because these parameters can significantly change the behavior of the Emulex product, great care must be taken in the setting of the parameters. Storage and system providers put forth great effort in determining what particular configuration parameters must be set to in order to provide optimal SAN performance.
For best results, never change the driver configuration parameters from their default values or the values that are specified by the storage and systems providers. Doing so can alter to performance of the SAN and possibly place the SAN in a configuration that is not supported or cause it not to operate properly.
How Emulex device driver configuration parameters work
It is very important to understand that Emulex configuration parameters are stored in the server in which the HBA is installed into. The parameters are acted upon by the device driver. Emulex configuration parameters are NOT stored in the HBA flash memory. Unlike some other SCSI and Fibre Channel HBAs, Emulex does not store any configuration information such as timers, Fibre Channel topology or link speed in the HBA flash. When an Emulex HBA is installed into a server, there is no separate configuration step required for the HBA. Proper driver configuration is all that is required. The exception is booting from SAN. In this case, the HBA BIOS utility must be used to configure the boot device. Said differently, the HBA must be told which Fibre Channel device contains the boot volume, and that information is stored in the flash. These settings are only in effect at boot time. Once the operating system loads the device driver, most settings of the driver are used and the HBA BIOS no longer functions.
