5.2.6.2 LAN Drivers and Setup
The IPMI-over-LAN feature must be used with the appropriate Intel NIC Driver, and the NIC
correctly configured in order for DPC LAN operation to occur transparently to the operating
system and network applications. If an incorrect driver or NIC configuration is used, it is possible
to get driver timeouts when the IPMI-over-LAN feature is enabled.
5.2.6.3 BIOS Boot Flags
A remote console application can use the IPMI Set System Boot Options command to configure
a set of BIOS boot flags and boot initiator parameters that are held by the management
controller. These parameters include information that identifies the party that initiated the boot,
plus flags and other information that can be used to direct the way booting proceeds after a
system reset or power-up. For example, the system can be configured to boot normally, boot
using PXE, boot to a diagnostic partition, etc.
