If the 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 tells the system where the operating system files needed for startup are located. 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 Determines the order in which the BIOS will attempt to boot from hard drives in the system during system startup.
USB Flash Drive
Emulation Type
(Auto default) Determines the emulation type for a USB flash drive. Hard disk allows the USB flash drive to act as a hard drive. Floppy allows the USB
flash drive to act as a removable diskette drive.
Auto automatically chooses the appropriate emulation type for the device. If you install a device in this slot that is configured as a
removable diskette drive, you must manually set the emulation type to Floppy.
Boot Sequence
Retry
(Disabled default) If this field is enabled and the system has failed to boot, the system will reattempt to boot after 30 seconds.
Option Description
User Accessible
USB Ports
(All Ports On
default) Enables or disables the user-accessible USB ports. Options are All Ports On, Only Back Ports On, and All Ports Off.
Internal USB Port
(On default) Enables or disables the internal USB port.
Embedded NIC1
and NIC2
(Enabled default) Enables or disables the operating system interface of the NIC1 and NIC2 controllers. (The NICs may also be accessed through the
system's management controller).
Embedded Gb NIC1
(Enabled with PXE
default) Enables or disables the embedded NICs. PXE support allows the system to boot from the network. Enabled with iSCSI Boot option is
available if the NIC on board supports iSCSI.
Embedded Gb NIC2
(Enabled default) Enables or disables the embedded NICs.
MAC Address Displays the MAC address for the NIC.
OS Watchdog Timer
(Disabled default) Sets a timer to monitor the operating system for activity, and aids in recovery if the system stops responding. When Enabled, the
operating system is allowed to initialize the timer. When Disabled, the timer is not initialized.
NOTE: This feature is usable only with operating systems that support WDAT implementations of the Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI) 3.0b specification.
Embedded Video
Controller
(Enabled default) Enables or disables BIOS support for the integrated video controller.
NOTE: This field can be disabled only if an add-in video card is present. If this field is disabled, remote access features such as virtual
KVM are not available.
Option Description
<PCIe

startup.
Option Description
Serial Communication
(On without Console Redirection
default) Selects whether the serial communication devices (Serial Device 1 and Serial Device 2) are enabled in BIOS. BIOS
console redirection can also be enabled and the port address used can be specified.
Options are On without Console Redirection, On with Console Redirection via COM1, On with Console
Redirection via COM2, and Off.
