Table 16. Boot settings

Menu Item	Description
Boot Mode	Enables you to set the boot mode of the system.
	NOTE: This system supports only BIOS boot mode.
	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.
	NOTE: This system supports only BIOS boot mode.
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 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 order, as listed in the Hard-Disk Drive
	Sequence. This option is not enabled for UEFI Boot Mode.
