The Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent is part of the BIOS. You
can use it to configure the network as a startable device, and you can customize
where the network Startup optional devices occur in the startup sequence.
Enable and disable the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent from
the Configuration/Setup Utility program. For information, see "Enabling the
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent" on page 22.
To configure the integrated Gigabit Ethernet controller, see "Configuring the
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet controller" on page 22.
Use the LSI Configuration Utility program to configure the integrated SAS/SATA
controller with RAID capabilities and the devices that are attached to it. For
information about using this program, see "LSI Configuration Utility program" on
page 23.
