What is UEFI?
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) defines the interface between the operating system and platform firmware during the boot
or start-up process. Compared to BIOS, UEFI supports advanced pre-boot user interfaces. The UEFI network stack enables
implementation on a richer network-based OS deployment environment while still supporting traditional PXE deployments. UEFI
supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks. In addition, features such as Secure Boot enable platform vendors to implement an OS-agnostic
approach to securing systems in the pre-boot environment.
The ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) functionality is available from the UEFI interface along with additional configuration options.
