Using the Boot Configuration Menu

Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(30)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]

Exit

In this example:

•NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. When you format a hard drive, the EFI tools provide an option to LABEL the disk. In this example, the volume was not labelled.

•CD_FORMAT is the label created for the disk currently inside the DVD drive.

•Removable Media Boot allows you to boot from a removable media drive (CD/DVD drive). This option does not support booting from a specific file on a specific removable media disc.

•The two Load Files are the EFI Shell and the LAN.

Add Boot Entry

Use this option to add items to the EFI boot menu.

This option displays the file systems that are on your server and lets you browse these file systems for applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the.efi extension. You can also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on your network. The option you have selected will be added to the EFI boot menu.

If you add a new drive to your server, you must manually add its boot options list if you want to make it a bootable device.

When adding a boot option that already exists in the Boot Manager list of boot options, you can choose whether to create a new option or modify the existing one. If you:

•Choose to modify an existing option, you may change the boot option name and/or add boot option arguments to the existing option.

•Create a new boot option for an already existing option, multiple instances of the same boot option exist. For example:

Add a Boot Option. Select a Volume

NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(20)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM

Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(20)/Ata(Secondary,Master)

Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]

Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(30)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]

Exit

In this example:

•Most of the items are the same options in Boot From a File.

•NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. You can search through the disk for bootable applications to add to the Boot Manager list of Boot options.

•Removable Media Boot will treat the Removable Media (generally a CD) as a bootable device.

•Load File EFI Shell adds a new instance to the EFI Shell. Load File with the MAC address adds a network boot option

Edit Boot Entry

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