3. BIOS Utility Configuration Guide
The BIOS utility allows you to change HBA parameters (such as topology, PLOGI retry timer and auto scan setting) and configure boot devices.
Default settings are acceptable for most installations.
In the BIOS utility, press d to reset the selected adapter to default values.
