More functionality

- Adapter vendors can add more features in their options (e.g., IPv6)

- Modular designs allows faster updates as new features are introduced

- Fully backwards compatible with legacy BIOS

Better user interface

- Replaces ctrl key sequences with a more intuitive human interface

- Moves adaptor and iSCSI configuration into F1 setup

- Creates event logs that are more easily decipherable

Easier management

- Eliminates “beep” codes; all errors can now be covered by Lightpath

- Reduces the number of error messages and eliminates out-dated errors

- UEFI settings can be managed both in-band and out of band

Prior operating system versions will operate in legacy BIOS mode
