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 UEFI, 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 indicates to the

system the location of the operating system files needed

for startup. If Boot Mode is set to UEFI, you can access

the UEFI boot manager utility by rebooting the system

and pressing F11 when prompted to do so.
