Verson 5.02.12 of the QLogic iSCSI SANsurfer is supported with this release. To access Fast!UTIL utility, press Ctrl+Q or Alt+Q during host BIOS initialization. It may take a few seconds for the Fast!UTIL menu to appear. If you have more than one IBM System x 1Gbps iSCSI adapter, Fast!UTIL will asks you to select the adapter you want to configure. After changing the settings, Fast!UTIL reboots your system to load the new parameters.
