Default configuration settings are applied to the server at one of the following times:
•
Upon the first system power-up
•
After defaults have been restored
Default configuration settings are sufficient for typical server operations; however, you can modify
configuration settings as needed. The system prompts you for access to the System Utilities each time the
system is powered up.
Flexible boot control
This feature enables you to do the following:
•
Add Boot Options
o
Browse all FAT16 and FAT32 file systems.
o
Select an X64 UEFI application with an .EFI extension to add as a new UEFI boot option, such as
an OS boot loader or other UEFI application.
The new boot option is appended to the boot order list. When you select a file, you are prompted
to enter the boot option description (which is then displayed in the Boot menu), as well as any
optional data to be passed to an .EFI application.
•
Boot to System Utilities
After pre-POST, the boot options screen appears. During this time, you can access the System
Utilities by pressing the
F9
key.
•
Choose between supported modes: Legacy BIOS Boot Mode or UEFI Boot Mode
IMPORTANT:
If the default boot mode settings are different than the user defined settings,
the system may not boot the OS installation if the defaults are restored. To avoid this issue, use
the User Defined Defaults feature in UEFI System Utilities to override the factory default
settings.
