Using UEFI BIOS

Using UEFI BIOS
Oracle Server X8-2L is equipped with a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI)-
compatible BIOS, which runs with all operating systems that are supported on the server. The
BIOS firmware controls the system from power-on until an operating system is booted, and
allows you to configure, enable, disable, or manage system components.

utility for the HBA appears as a menu selection.
