Paths

All devices in the server are represented by paths in the EFI Shell. To identify the correct socket or disk drive, use the following tables.

Table D-3 Server Sockets

Socket	Path
1 PCI	Acpi(HWP0002,400)/pci(0 0)
2 PCI	Acpi(HWP0003,400)/pci(0 0)

Table D-4 Server Drives

Drive	Path
SCSI Disk	Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1 0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)
SCSI Disk	Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1 1)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun1)
Removable Media Boot	Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2 0)/ATA(Primary,Master)

Boot From a File

Use this option to manually run a specific application or driver.

NOTE: This option boots the selected application or driver one time only. When you exit the application, you return to this menu.

This option displays the file systems on your server or workstation and enables you to browse these file systems for applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the

.efi extension. You can also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on the network.
