NOTE
l The default boot mode is UEFI.
l For some OSs, if the capacity of the drive or RAID array for installing the OS is greater than 2 TB,
use the UEFI boot mode. For details, see the release notes of the OS.
l If the OS is installed on an NVMe drive, the boot mode must be the UEFI boot.
l The UEFI boot mode supports more boot devices than the legacy boot mode. The UEFI boot mode
is recommended if a compute node is configured with multiple boot devices. If the legacy mode is
set, some devices may fail to boot. If the legacy mode has to be set, disable serial port redirection or
NIC PXE based on service requirements so that the OS can start. For details, see sections "Setting
PXE for a NIC" and "Setting Serial Port Redirection" in
Parameter Reference.
NOTE
The default boot sequence is Hard Disk Drive > DVD-ROM Drive > PXE > Others.
