installed, the UEFI firmware is probably configured to its optimal default settings and you do
not have to perform this procedure.
In the BIOS Setup Utility, you can set optimal defaults, as well as view and edit UEFI settings,
as needed. By setting optimal defaults, you ensure that the server is operating efficiently with a
known and good configuration. You can review the optimal defaults in the Oracle Server X5-2
