Enabling the Embedded UEFI Shell
You can enable or disable the Embedded UEFI Shell. The UEFI Shell is a pre-boot command line
environment for scripting and running UEFI applications, including UEFI boot loaders. The UEFI
Shell also provides CLI-based commands to obtain system information and configure and update
the system BIOS. Enabling this option adds the Embedded UEFI Shell to the UEFI boot options. You
can only configure this option if Boot Mode is set to UEFI. See
“Selecting a Boot Mode” (page 41)
for more information.

1.
From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration
→BIOS/Platform Configuration
(RBSU)
→System Options→UEFI Shell Options→Embedded UEFI Shell and press Enter.
2. Select one of the following options:
•
Enabled (default)
•
Disabled
3. Press F10 to save your selection.
4. See the HP UEFI Shell User Guide details on running Shell scripts.
