The Broadcom MFW is configured to load/not load through an NVRAM=20 option that is likely not affected by the iDRAC BIOS settings. To disable MFW you'd need to run the user diagnostic utility (UXDIAG.EXE) with the following command line: C:\>uxdiag -mfw 0 To turn it back on run the following: C:\>uxdiag -mfw 1 You can find a bootable CD with the user diagnostic here: http://www.broadcom.com/support/license.php?file=3DNXII/Xdiag-5.2.2.iso Dave
