Boot Settings screen details

You can use the Boot Settings screen to set the boot mode to either BIOS or UEFI. It also enables you to
specify the boot order.
To view the Boot Settings screen, click System Setup Main Menu → System BIOS → Boot Settings.
The Boot Settings screen details are explained as follows:
Option Description
Boot Mode Enables you to set the boot mode of the system. Setting this field to UEFI disables
the BIOS Boot Settings menu. Setting this field to BIOS disables the UEFI Boot
Settings menu.
If the operating system supports UEFI, you can set this option to UEFI. Setting this
field to BIOS allows compatibility with non-UEFI operating systems. This option is
set to BIOS by default.
Boot Sequence Enables or disables the Boot Sequence Retry feature. If this field is enabled and the
Retry system fails to boot, the system reattempts the boot sequence after 30 seconds.
This option is set to Enabled by default.
Hard-Disk Failover Specifies the hard drive that is booted in the event of a hard drive failure. The
devices are selected in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence on the Boot Option Setting
menu. When this option is set to Disabled, only the first hard drive in the list is
attempted to boot. When this option is set to Enabled, all hard drives are attempted
to boot in the order selected in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence. This option is not
enabled for UEFI Boot Mode.
Boot Option Configures the boot sequence and the boot devices.
