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.

Allow in-the-field upgrades to the image stored in the flash component of the adapter.

press the Ctrl+S keys, so as to suspend the boot process and then
configure the way the Boot Agent operates.
If you select a Setup Menu Wait Time setting of zero and/or a Show

appear during the boot process. However, you can still display the
configuration setup menu by repeatedly pressing the Ctrl+S keys
immediately after POST until the menu appears. If the configuration
