Using the Boot Manager program

Boot Manager is a built-in, menu-driven configuration program that you can use to temporarily redefine the
first startup device without changing settings in Setup Utility.
To use the Boot Manager program, do the following:
Step 1. Turn off the server.
Step 2. Restart the server.
When the prompt <F12> Select Boot Device is displayed, press F12.
Step 3.
Step 4. Use the Up arrow and Down arrow keys to select an item from the menu and press Enter.
The next time the server starts, it returns to the startup sequence that is set in the Setup Utility.

Starting the backup server firmware

The system board contains a backup copy area for the server firmware. During the process of updating the
server firmware, if the primary copy of the server firmware becomes damaged, use this backup copy.
To force the server to start from the backup copy, turn off the server; then, place the UEFI boot backup
jumper in the backup position (pins 2 and 3) to enable the UEFI recovery mode. For the location of the UEFI
boot backup jumper, see "System-board switches and jumpers" on page 22.
Use the backup copy of the server firmware until the primary copy is restored. After the primary copy is
restored, turn off the server; then, move the UEFI boot backup jumper back to the primary position (pins 1
and 2).

UpdateXpress System Pack Installer

The UpdateXpress System Pack Installer detects supported and installed device drivers and firmware in the
server and installs available updates.

UEFI defaults

button becomes active.

Policy setting to Restore.
