Boot Settings details
The Boot Settings screen details are explained as follows:
Option Description
Boot Mode Enables you to set the boot mode of the system.
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 option is set to Enabled and the system fails to
Retry 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.
Settings
BIOS Boot Settings Enables or disables BIOS boot options.
UEFI Boot Settings Enables or disables UEFI Boot options. The Boot options include IPv4 PXE and IPv6 PXE. This option is set
to IPv4 by default.

Choosing the system boot mode
System Setup enables you to specify one of the following boot modes for installing your operating system:
• BIOS boot mode (the default) is the standard BIOS-level boot interface.
• Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) (the default) boot mode is an enhanced 64-bit boot interface. If you have
configured your system to boot to UEFI mode, it replaces the system BIOS.
1. From the System Setup Main Menu, click Boot Settings, and select Boot Mode.
2. Select the boot mode you want the system to boot into.
CAUTION: Switching the boot mode may prevent the system from booting if the operating system is not installed in
the same boot mode.
3. After the system boots in the specified boot mode, proceed to install your operating system from that mode.
