4.2 Starting the Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS Utility
To start the Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS Utility, perform these steps:
1. Turn on the computer and press and hold down Alt or Ctrl and press E immediately (within 4 seconds of the Emulex
bootup message).
An adapter listing window is displayed (Figure 1).
NOTE: The following information pertains to the Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS utility:
 Links should be connected and established before you enter the utility; otherwise, you may receive an error
message.
 After you enter the utility, any dynamic changes made to the SAN are not reflected unless the system is reset.
 If the bootup message does not appear, you must enable the x86 Boot code. See Section 4.3, Enabling an
Adapter to BFS, for more information.
 After you exit the utility, the system will reboot regardless of whether any changes were made.
 The utility support is server specific. Some servers might not support the Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS utility. In
such cases, all configuration must be done from the UEFI HII.
