Boot Settings screen
You can use the Boot Settings screen to set the Boot mode to either BIOS or UEFI. It also enables you to
specify the boot order.
To view the Boot Settings screen, click System Setup Main Menu → System BIOS → Boot Settings.
Menu Item Description
Boot Mode Enables you to set the boot mode of the system.
CAUTION: Switching the boot mode may prevent the system from
booting if the operating system is not installed in the same boot
mode.
NOTE: Setting this field to UEFI disables the BIOS Boot Settings
menu. Setting this field to BIOS disables the UEFI Boot Settings
menu.
If the operating system supports UEFI, you can set this option to UEFI.
Setting this field to BIOS allows compatibility with non-UEFI operating
systems. By default, the Boot Mode option is set to BIOS.
Boot Sequence Retry Enables or disables the Boot Sequence Retry feature. If this field is
enabled and the system fails to boot, the system reattempts the boot
sequence after 30 seconds. By default, the Boot Sequence Retry option
is set to Enabled.
Hard-Disk Failover Specifies which devices in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence are attempted
in the boot sequence. When the option is set to Disabled, only the first
hard disk device in the list is attempted to boot. When set to Enabled, all
hard disk devices are attempted in the order, as listed in the Hard-Disk
Drive Sequence. This option is not enabled for UEFI Boot Mode.
Boot Option Settings Configures the boot sequence and the boot devices.
Network Settings screen
You can use the Network Settings screen to modify PXE device settings. Network Settings are only
available in UEFI boot mode. BIOS does not control network settings in the BIOS boot mode. For BIOS
boot mode, the network settings are handled by the network controllers option ROM.
To view the Network Settings screen, click System Setup Main Menu → System BIOS → Network
Settings.
