Hello,
I recently installed an Intel X520-2 NIC to my windows server. Windows auto-installed it and I can access the device. It is currently working as just a regular ethernet adapter. I need to change it to iSCSI mode. I did some research and found that I need to use the Intel Ethernet Flash Firmware Utility. Here is what I am currently doing:

What is "The -BOOTENABLE command can only be used on flashed combo images"? I have tried to DISABLE as well and it does not take (same error message). I must be missing something but I am not sure what.

I am getting a little further. Found help from https://www.interworks.com/blog/tnguyen/2011/11/03/how-boot-iscsi-intel-x-520-mezzanine-card-dell-blades https://www.interworks.com/blog/tnguyen/2011/11/03/how-boot-iscsi-intel-x-520-mezzanine-card-dell-blades
Basically, I moved the BootIMG.FLB file from the C:\Intel21.1\APPS\BootUtil directory to the C:\Intel21.1\APPS\BootUtil\Winx64 directory. Then, I ran:
C:\Intel21.1\APPS\BootUtil\Winx64>BOOTUTILW64E.EXE -UP=combo -all

So, looks like iSCSI is not flashed. Sounds like I need to find the iSCSI FLB image. I don't see one in the zip file.

The commands are:
BOOTUTILW64E.EXE -FLASHENABLE -ALL //Set to FlashEnabled
BOOTUTILW64E.EXE -UP=iSCSI -all //Update to ISCSI
BOOTUTILW64E.EXE -IV //This will then show below info.
