Configuring UEFI compatible devices
Use this information to configure UEFI compatible devices.
Your IBM BladeCenter HS22 Type 7870, 1936, and 1911 blade server is UEFI
compatible. UEFI compatible expansion cards can be configured through the Setup
utility. To configure a UEFI compatible expansion card, complete the following
steps:
Note: Before configuring a UEFI compatible device, it is recommended to update
the firmware for your blade server. See "Firmware updates" on page 34 for
information on how to update the firmware for your blade server.
1. Run the Setup utility (see "Using the Setup utility" on page 21).
2. Select System Settings → Adapters and UEFI drivers.
3. Select Please refresh this page first and press Enter.
4. Select the device driver that you want to configure and press Enter.

Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet controller
Use this information to locate the device drivers for the Gigabit Ethernet controller.
One dual-port Gigabit Ethernet controller is integrated on the blade server system
board. The controller provides a 1000 Mbps full-duplex interface for connecting to
one of the Ethernet-compatible I/O modules in I/O-module bays 1 and 2, which
enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area
network (LAN). The Ethernet controller on the system board is routed to
I/O-module bay 1 or bay 2. The logical link of each Ethernet port to an
I/O-module bay is assigned by the operating system.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controller for the blade server
operating system. However, you must install a device driver to enable the blade
server operating system to address the Ethernet controller. For device drivers and
information about configuring the Ethernet controller, complete the following steps.
Note: Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure
