If the system hangs during the UEFI boot process with the message UEFI: DXE INIT on the display, make sure
that Option ROMs were not configured with a setting of Legacy. You can remotely view the current settings
for Option ROMs by running the following command using the Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI:

If legacy Option ROMs must be used, do not set slot Option ROMs to Legacy on the Devices and I/O Ports

Mode. Legacy option ROMs will be invoked shortly before the system boots.
