OS UEFI boot loaders
Once enabled, only firmware components and operating systems with boot loaders that have an appropriate
digital signature can execute during the boot process. Only operating systems that support Secure Boot and
have an EFI boot loader signed with one of the authorized keys can boot when Secure Boot is enabled. For
more information about supported operating systems, see the HP UEFI System Utilities Release Notes on the
HP website
A physically present user can customize the certificates embedded in the UEFI BIOS by adding/removing
their own certificates.
Embedded UEFI shell
The system BIOS in all HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 servers includes an embedded UEFI Shell in the ROM. The
UEFI Shell environment provides an API, a command line prompt, and a set of CLIs that allow scripting, file
manipulation, and system information. These features enhance the capabilities of the UEFI System Utilities.
