System setup — Advanced Hardware Configuration
The Lifecycle Controller Advanced Hardware Configuration wizards allow you to configure BIOS, iDRAC, and certain devices such
as NIC, and RAID controllers through Human Interface Infrastructure (HII). HII is a UEFI-standard method for viewing and setting a
device's configuration. You can utilize a single utility to configure multiple devices that may have different pre-boot configuration
utilities. The utilities also provide localized versions of devices such as the BIOS setup.
Based on the system configuration, other device types may also appear under Advanced Hardware Configuration if they support
the HII configuration standard.
NOTE: When you update the firmware on a BCM57xx and 57xxx adapters, you will notice that the cards are displayed as
QLogic. This is due to the acquisition of Broadcom NetXtreme II by QLogic.
The Advanced Hardware Configuration wizard allows you to configure the following:
NOTE: You can also use System Setup utility during startup to configure the following devices. For more information
