If during PXE or RPL boot more than one adapter is installed in a computer and you want to boot from the boot ROM located on a specific adapter, you can do so by removing the adapter from the BIOS Boot Order or disabling the flash by running IBAUTIL -FlashDisable on the desired adapter. To display diagnostics information: Anytime the configuration setup menu is displayed, you may press the D key to display diagnostics information in the lower half of the screen. This information can be helpful during interaction with HP Customer Support personnel or your IT team members. After you press the D key, the information displayed remains until you leave the configuration setup screen (either by pressing the F4 key, pressing the Esc key, or by rebooting the computer). For more information about how to interpret the information displayed, refer to the "Diagnostics information for pre-boot PXE or RPL environments" section. Auxiliary DOS utilities The IBAUtil allows you to install and configure the Boot Agent using the DOS environment. IBAUtil is a utility program that provides an alternative means for modifying the adapter configuration settings. Use IBAUtil to: • Change the default settings of your HP NC310F, NC3123, NC6170, or NC7170 adapter. • Enable/disable the Wake-on-LAN (WOL) and Intel® Boot Agent capabilities. • Allow in-the-field upgrades to the image stored in the flash component of the adapter.
