6.12 Legacy-Only Configuration Settings
Using the UEFI HII, you can set parameters that are specific to the x86 boot driver, which is also referred to as the Legacy
boot driver.
To change legacy-only configuration settings, perform these steps:
1. From the adapter list (Figure 31), select the adapter whose legacy settings you want to change and press Enter.
2. From the main configuration menu (Figure 32), select Legacy Only Configuration Settings and press Enter.
The Legacy Only Configuration Settings window displays settings that apply only to the Emulex legacy boot driver
(Figure 60).

3. Make the desired changes to any of these settings and select Commit Changes.
See Chapter 4, Emulex LightPulse FC BIOS utility, for a description of the legacy-only settings displayed in Figure 60.
6.13 Requesting a Reset or Reconnect
NOTE: This feature is not available for LPe12000-series adapters.
After you have made changes to the UEFI HII, you might need to reset or reconnect the adapter for the changes to take
effect. Enabling the Request RESET or RECONNECT to Make Change Active option causes a reset or reconnect to occur
automatically after you exit the UEFI HII. This option is disabled by default, and you must enable it if you want the adapter
to automatically reset or reconnect. Otherwise, the changes do not take effect until you manually reboot the server.
Reset forces the system to reboot after you exit the UEFI HII.
