DL585 G2 IPL devices

[Richard London]

Hi there,

I have a DL585G2 with 3 NC360 NICs. I would like to PXE boot from one of the integrated NICs but they don't show up in the Boot Order menu.

I have set integrated interface 1 to PXE and rebooted but it made no difference.

There are 8 devices shown in the menu. Is there any way to control which devices appear in this menu?

Regards,
Richard

Thanks for the messages. It seems that I need a newer BIOS. Version 09/13/2006 doesn't allow enough boot devices.
