NOTES:
From the Boot Options tab, the user will see the Flash Information button. Clicking on the
l
Flash Information button will open the Flash Information dialog. From the Flash Inform-
ation dialog, clicking on the Update Flash button allows Intel® iSCSI Remote Boot, Intel®
Boot Agent (IBA), Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot, EFI, and CLP to be written. The update oper-
ation writes a new image to the adapter's Flash and modifies the EEPROM, which may tem-
porarily disable the operation of the Windows* network device driver. You might need to
reboot the computer following this operation.
You cannot update the flash image of a LOM; this button will be disabled.

1. Create a disk target (LUN) on an available Fibre Channel target. Configure this LUN to be accessible to
the WWPN address of the initiator of the host being booted.
2. Make sure the client system starts the Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot firmware. The firmware should be
configured properly, be able to connect to Fibre Channel target, and detect the boot disk.
Intel® PROSet for Windows* Device Manager
Many of the functions of the Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot Port Selection Setup Menu can also be configured or
revised using Intel® PROSet for Windows Device Manager.
Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot version is displayed on the Boot Options tab if the combo image supports
l
FCoE Boot.
Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot is an Active Image option if FCoE Boot is supported by the combo image.
l
The Active Image setting enables/disables Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot in the EEPROM.
l
Intel® Ethernet FCoE Boot settings are displayed if FCoE Boot is the active image.

Installing Windows Server from a Remote Disk ("Diskless Install")
After the Option ROM is installed, if you wish to install the Windows Server operating system directly to the
FCoE disk, do the following:
1. Locate the FCoE drivers in \APPS\FCOEBOOT\Winx64\Setup. Extract all zipped files and copy to a
CD/DVD or USB media.
2. Boot the install media.
3. Perform a Custom install and proceed to the "Where do you want to install Windows?" screen.
4. Use Load Driver to load the FCoE drivers. Browse to the location you chose previously and load the
following two drivers in the specified order:
1. Intel(R) Ethernet Setup Driver for FCoE.
2. Intel(R) Ethernet Virtual Storage Miniport Driver for FCoE.
Note: the FCoE drivers will block any other network traffic from the FCoE-supported ports until after
Step 7 in this section. Do not attempt to install an NDIS miniport for any FCoE-supported ports prior to
Step 7 in this section.
5. You should now see the FCoE disk or disks appear in the list of available install targets. All disks
accessible by this initiator through the boot port should appear.
6. Select the FCoE disk configured for boot in the Option ROM and continue the install until Windows is
installed and you are at the desktop.
