Installation and Setup: Intel® Ethernet iSCSI Boot User Guide
This section provides instructions on how to install and set up Intel® iSCSI Boot components. The first step after hardware
preparation is to program Intel® Ethernet iSCSI Boot firmware on an iSCSI Boot-capable adapter. See the Installing Firmware
section below.
The default iSCSI Boot configuration uses DHCP. If you are using Static IP, it is necessary to set up the firmware for static IP
configurations. See the section for
.
For Microsoft Windows environment, follow the detailed instructions in

Installing Firmware
In order to enable Intel® Ethernet iSCSI Boot, the firmware should be loaded as Option ROM while booting the BIOS in the
system. "Intel® iSCSI Boot" followed by the firmware version number is displayed if the firmware is installed correctly.
The flash on Intel PCI Express adapters is loaded with several sets of firmware, including iSCSI Boot and PXE. To enable iSCSI
Boot you must run BootUtil to select the iSCSI Boot firmware. You may reconfigure the adapter flash firmware as needed,
switching to PXE for example, by running the BootUtil again and selecting a different firmware option.
If you are installing or upgrading Intel® Ethernet iSCSI Boot firmware on the Intel PRO/1000 PT/PF Single/Dual Port Server
Adapter or an Intel 10 Gigabit server adapter,
is a DOS utility software used to install the firmware. BootUtil is not
intended as a utility for LAN on Motherboard (LOM) implementations. If you are using an Intel® iSCSI Boot-capable OEM
server system, please refer to instructions provided from the OEM to enable Intel® iSCSI Boot.
NOTE: For the following adapters, iSCSI can be enabled through the uEFI environment.
