necessary parameters.
[*] Use DHCP for iSCSI target information
When Enabled [*], the iSCSI boot host software acquires its iSCSI target parameters from
the DHCP server.
When Disabled [ ], the iSCSI boot host software acquires its iSCSI target parameters via the
static IP address. Key in the necessary parameters.

When Enabled [*], the iSCSI boot host software uses CHAP authentication when connecting
to the iSCSI target. Key in the necessary parameters.
When Disabled [ ], the iSCSI boot host software does not attempt to boot from the iSCSI
target after successfully connecting to it. The control will then return to the system BIOS so
that the next boot device may be used.
[ ] Use Mutual CHAP
When Enabled [*], the iSCSI boot host software uses a Mutual CHAP authentication when
connecting to the iSCSI target. Key in the necessary parameters.
When Disabled [ ], the iSCSI boot host software does not use a Mutual CHAP authentication
when connecting to the iSCSI target.

2.3 Intel(R) Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility
The Intel(R) Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility allows you to switch between PXE option ROM
and iSCSI option ROM. Note that only one option ROM can be used at a time.
To start the Intel(R) Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility:
1. Turn on the system.
2. Enter DOS enviroment.
The utility must run under pure DOS environment. It cannot run in a DOS box on Windows
system. You should boot from a DOS oppy without any device drivers
3. Within the DOS enviroment, enter the directory with the bootutil le.
4. Check the MAC address of the corresponding LAN card:
bootutil -E
