DETAILS:

The Netfinity Fibre Channel PCI Adapter will only be supported by IBM as an interface to the Netfinity Fibre Channel Controller.

Note: Only the default BIOS settings will be supported.
This means that, since the default condition for the BIOS on the adapter is disabled, then it will NOT be supported as the boot device.

The chart below shows the default (supported) settings.
