Option	Description
Boot Mode	CAUTION: Switching the boot mode could prevent
(BIOS default)	the system from booting if the operating system was
	not installed in the same boot mode.
	If the system operating system supports Unified
	Extensible Firmware Interface, you can set this
	option to UEFI. Setting this field to BIOS allows
	compatibility with non-UEFI operating systems.

	manager utility by rebooting the system and pressing
	<F11> when prompted to do so.
