using the EFI shell
To access the EFI shell:
1. When the EFI boot option screen displays, use the arrow keys to highlight
press
Enter
NOTE: You have 7 seconds to change the boot option before the system boots to the first option
in the list. To change the order of boot options, see "Using the Boot Option Maintenance Menu"
on page 3-11.
2. A list of file systems (drives and partitions), and block devices on hard drives is displayed.
For example:
Device mapping table
fs0: Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig00112233)
blk0: Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)
blk1: Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)
3. The EFI shell first searches for an optional script file named startup.nsh.
❏
If this file is found, it is executed automatically.
❏
After the script runs, the shell waits for commands to be entered at the command prompt.
NOTE: If startup.nsh runs an OS or application, you must exit that application to access the
EFI shell prompt.
4. You can now enter commands.
To run an individual command:
a. Type the command at the shell prompt. For example, to clear the display on the monitor:
Shell:\> cls
b. Press

Some commands require additional arguments to further define their action. For
example, to display information about the system memory, you must type the
command name, plus the desired category of information to display:
◆
When you enter individual commands at the command prompt, the shell performs
variable substitution, then expands wild cards before the command is executed.
◆
To switch to a different file system, execute the following, where fsx is the selected
file system as listed on the screen (see step 2). For example:
operations and maintenance guide
.
Enter to execute the command.
fs0:\> info mem
Shell> fsx:
where x is a numeric value representing a file system, for
example, if you enter:
Shell> fs0:
You see this prompt:
fs0:\> _
