Howdy, I have one of these (Intel X520) 10GBit onboard and can't for the life
of me find a way to get it enabled as a PXE boot device (the lspci output for
the NIC is at the end of the email) The X520 provides 2 x 1GbitE ports and 2 x
10GbitE ports on the motherboard.
According to the iDRAC view of the network interface, it supports PXE
"Supported Boot Protocol ---- iSCSI, FCoE, PXE"
All firmware and BIOS are up to date. I have other R630's with this same NIC
that I'm able to enable PXE boot.
In the System Setup boot menu under Device Settings the two 10Gbit ports aren't
listed (which would allow me to enable them in boot order), however the 1Gbit
ports for the x520 are.

Any thoughts if there may be something in the BIOS that I'm missing that is
preventing the 2 x 10Gbit ports from being configurable in Device Settings?
Thanks,
Mike
