I. x86 BootBIOS The current BootBIOS provides x86 boot capability through the use of INT13 system BIOS calls. The BootBIOS supports:
(1) Multi-topology: Fabric Point to Point, FC-AL, Private loop and Public loop
(2) Multi-initiators: Up to 8 adapters in a system
(3) Multi-LUNs: Up to 256 LUNs
(4) Multi-boot: it complies with the BIOS Boot Specification (BBS).
(5) EDD (Enhanced Disk Drive Services): it supports both EDD 3.0 and EDD 2.1 depending on the selection made in the BIOS Utility.
(6) Boot fail over feature: This was implemented in BootBIOS version 1.20. There are eight boot entries that can be configured. If the first boot entry fails for any reason, it is still able to boot from the second configured boot entry and so on.

1.70A0 Problems Fixed, Features added or Other Updates Since 1.63A2:

When Start Unit Command is enable, there should be Test-Unit-Ready commands issued after follow the Inquiry command during the process of scan disk target function. And this caused the boot failure if LUN1 from the primary path was deleted and was expecting to boot from LUN1 on the secondary path. The new release added the TUR follow the Inquiry command and makes FC boot success on secondary path.

There is display error in BIOS utility menu on 3 digit adapter card, such as Lp982 in previous release code, the new release clean up the display error and fixed the issue.

II. EFIBoot The current EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) Boot provides 64-bit System boot capability through the use of the EFI Shell. This EFIBoot supports EFI Specification 1.10 and EFI Source Code version 1.10.14.61. The EFIBoot supports:
(1) Multi-Topology : Fabric Point to Point; FC-AL: Private loop and Public loop.
(2) EFI Protocols : Configuration, Component Name, Diagnostics and Firmware Update Supported.
(3) Operating System : Windows Server 2003 and Red-Hat Linux Supported.
(4) Multi-Device path : Fibre/SCSI Device path Selectable through the Driver configuration Protocol.

(8) Multi-Mode : Supported.
(9) Multi-Utility : Setup and Firmware update supported.

Important Note
(1) EFIBoot was not enabled from loading to system memory: If the adapter EFIBoot is not enabled from loading to system, this adapter will not be configured. User must use DosLpCfg or some other OS Utility to enable the EFIBoot in order to make this card bootable.
( 2) EFIBoot Bios was enabled to configure the adapter and No Link: EFIBoot will wait for 15 seconds/adapter to confirm a link.
(3) If two or more adapters have same EFIBoot driver version, EFIBoot will load only one driver.
(4) If there are adapters with different EFIBoot driver versions, EFIBoot will load the highest version of the EFIBoot driver.
(5) In order to display Linkup speed, use the latest version of the firmware.
