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
Retry and the system fails to boot, the system reattempts the boot sequence after 30
seconds. This option is set to Enabled by default.

this field to BIOS disables the UEFI Boot Settings menu.
