Boot Settings details
The Boot Settings screen details are explained as follows:
Boot Mode
Allows you to configure the Boot Sequence and Enable or Disable the individual
boot options. The available options are BIOS and UEFI. The option is set to UEFI
by default.
Boot Sequence Retry
Enables or disables the Boot Sequence Retry feature. If this option is set to
Enabled and the system fails to boot, the system re-attempts the boot sequence
after 30 seconds. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Hard-Disk Failover
Specifies the drive that is booted in the event of a drive failure. The devices are
selected in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence on the Boot Option Setting menu.
When this option is set to Disabled, only the first drive in the list is attempted to
boot. When this option is set to Enabled, all drives are attempted to boot in the
order selected in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence. This option is not enabled for
UEFI Boot Mode. This option is set to Disabled by default.
UEFI Boot Settings
The UEFI Boot Settings screen enables you to specify the UEFI boot order.
UEFI Boot Sequence
Enables you to change the UEFI boot device order.
Boot Options Enable/Disable
Enables you to enable or disable the UEFI boot devices.
Use the network settings to modify UEFI PXE, iSCSI, and HTTP boot settings. The
network settings option is available only in the UEFI mode.
CAUTION
Changing the default settings may make the node unusable. Dell EMC
recommends only making changes under the direction of Dell EMC tech support.
Note
The BIOS does not control network settings in BIOS mode. For the BIOS boot mode,
the optional Boot ROM of the network controllers handles the network settings.
