Embedded Nics; Diskette Write Control; Diskette Boot Control; Advanced Memory Protection - HP ProLiant xw25p User Manual

Embedded NICs

The Embedded NICs option enables iSCSI or PXE Boot support. This option enables the server to boot to
the network (embedded NIC only) and attach to a PXE server with boot images. It enables the NIC port to
display in the Standard Boot Order (IPL) list. For NIC 1, the default setting is PXE Boot, but for subsequent
NICs, the default setting is Disabled. For more information on PXE technology, see the Using PXE
Technology on Compaq ProLiant Servers white paper on the HP website
(ftp://ftp.compaq.com/pub/products/servers/management/pxe_wp.pdf).
When enabling PXE or iSCSI Boot support, the NIC does not display in the Standard Boot Order (IPL) until
the next reboot.

Diskette Write Control

The Diskette Write Control option is a simple toggle setting that sets the write controls for the diskette
drive. The available configuration settings are either Read and Write or Read Only. When Read and
Write is selected, the server can both read data from and write data to the diskette drive.

Diskette Boot Control

The Diskette Boot Control option is a simple toggle setting that enables the diskette drive to be used as a
boot device. When this option is disabled, the server cannot boot from the diskette drive. This
configuration setting is used as a security feature.

Advanced Memory Protection

The Advanced Memory Protection option provides additional memory protection beyond ECC.
