Setting Up and Configuring BIOS

This section describes how to use the BIOS Setup Utility on your system, and provides
guidelines and instructions for selecting Legacy BIOS Boot Mode or UEFI Boot Mode. It

Your system is equipped with Unified Extensible Firmware Interface-compatible BIOS (UEFI
BIOS), which avoids many of the limitations of legacy BIOS. However some operating systems
cannot boot in UEFI Boot Mode, so UEFI BIOS provides the ability to select boot modes. The
default is Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.
