Boot Options menu

This topic provides information about the menus and items on the Boot Options menu in the Setup Utility program.

The Boot Options menu provides an interface to help you view or change the server startup options, including the startup sequence and boot priority for various devices. Changes in the startup options take effect when you start the server.

The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks for a disc in the optical drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and then checks a network device. For information about setting the startup sequence or selecting a startup device, see “Selecting a startup device” on page 66.

The following list, showing the order in which devices will be started up, is always displayed. Even devices that are not attached to or installed in your server are listed. For each device that is attached to or installed in the server, information about it is presented on the screen after the colon.

1.UEFI Device:

2.Hard Disk Drive:

3.Optical Disk Drive:

4.Removable Device:

5.Network Device:

The following table shows the contents of the Boot Options menu. On each submenu, press the Enter key to show selectable options and select a desired option by using up and down arrow keys. Some items are displayed on the menu only if the server supports the corresponding features.

Notes:

•Enabled means that the function is configured.

•Disabled means that the function is not configured.

•Default values are in boldface in the Selections column.
