4.3 Enabling an Adapter to BFS
To enable an adapter to BFS, perform these steps:
1. From the main configuration menu (Figure 2), select Enable/Disable Boot from SAN and press Enter.
NOTE: Adapters are disabled by default.
BFS must be enabled on one adapter to use remote boot functionality. After you enable an adapter, the status of the Boot
BIOS changes to enabled as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE: x86 Boot code supports a maximum of 16 or 32 ports depending on the adapter model.

4.4 Scanning for Target Devices
NOTE: The following information pertains to bringing up adapter link:
 The LPe12000-series adapters bring up the link during POST before starting the Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS
utility.
 The LPe16000-series, LPe31000-series, LPe32000-series, and LPe35000-series adapters bring up the link
while scanning for target devices (see Section 4.4, Scanning for Target Devices) or while configuring boot
devices (see Section 4.5, Configuring Boot Devices).
To scan for target devices, perform these steps:
1. From the adapter listing window (Figure 1), select the adapter that you want to scan for target devices and press Enter.
2. From the main configuration menu (Figure 2), select Scan for Target Devices and press Enter. A list of the discovered
targets is displayed. This is only a list of discovered target devices to determine SAN connectivity
