4. Press ESC to exit out of the BIOS and select the option to save changes.

Note: For of HS40 blades, make sure that EFI is at the end of the boot order if present.

5.If you have a lot of blades to update in a single blade chassis, the boot order changes may be made through the Management Module and applied to any or of all of blades in the chassis as a group. (See Figure 16 Changing boot order from Management Module) Since EFI appears as an unknown device for HS40s, it is recommended that the HS40 boot sequence be modified in BIOS program.
