First Boot Device

This feature allows you to select the first boot device for your system and enable Boot Once. The system boots from the selected device on the next and subsequent reboots and remains as the first boot device in the BIOS boot order, until it is changed again either from the iDRAC6 GUI or from the BIOS Boot sequence.

The first boot device can be selected through the remote Web interface:

1Open a supported Web browser window.

2Log in to iDRAC6 Web interface.

3In the system tree, select System→ Setup→ First Boot Device. The First Boot Device screen is displayed.
