Description

Boot Mode

(BIOS default)

CAUTION:

Switching the boot mode could prevent

the system from booting if the operating system was
not installed in the same boot mode.

If the system operating system supports Unified

Extensible Firmware Interface, you can set this option

to UEFI. Setting this field to BIOS allows compatibility

with non-UEFI operating systems.

NOTE:

Setting this field to UEFI disables the Boot

Sequence, Hard-Disk Drive Sequence, and USB Flash

Drive Emulation Type fields.

Boot Sequence

If Boot Mode is set to BIOS, this field provides the

location of the operating system files for startup. If Boot

Mode is set to UEFI, you can access the UEFI boot

manager utility by rebooting the system and pressing

when prompted to do so.

Hard-Disk Drive Sequence The sequence of hard drives. Use the up and down arrow

keys to choose the hard disk.

USB Flash Drive

Emulation Type

Auto automatically chooses the appropriate emulation

type for the device.

Boot Sequence Retry

(Disabled default)

If this field is Enabled and the system fails to boot,

the system reattempts to boot after 30 seconds.
