Delete Boot Option(s)

Use this option to remove boot options from the EFI boot menu.

NOTE: This does not delete any files, applications, or drivers from your system.

This option displays a list of boot options that are configured on the system. The names match the options on the main Boot Manager menu.

If you remove a drive from the system, you must manually delete it from the boot options list.

•To delete an item from the list, use the arrow keys to highlight the item and press Enter.

•To remove all of the entries from the EFI Boot menu, select Delete All Boot Options. This setting can be used as a security device on systems that are accessed remotely.

Change Boot Order

Use this option to change the order of boot options. The order in which options are listed in the EFI boot menu also reflects the order in which the system attempts to boot. If the first boot option fails, the system tries to boot the second option, then the third, and so forth, until a boot option succeeds or until all options have failed.

For example, if you normally boot using a configuration on your LAN but want to boot from a local hard drive if the LAN is unavailable, move the LAN boot option to the top of the list, followed by the hard drive boot option.

The menu lists boot options that currently exist in the main Boot Manager menu. To change the priority of the items, select an option and move it up or down in the list.

•Press U to move an option up.

•Press D to move an option down.

•Select Save Settings to NVRAM to modify the order in the Boot Manager menu, which modifies the order that the Boot Manager attempts to boot the options.

•The items at the bottom of the screen are descriptions of the selected option.
