4.8 Resetting the Adapter to Default Values
NOTE: Resetting the adapter to default values clears all entries made while configuring the boot device, as detailed in
Section 4.5, Configuring Boot Devices.
The Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS utility enables you to reset boot code parameters to their factory default settings. These
defaults are listed in Table 5.
