Using the Boot Option Maintenance Menu

For example, if you normally boot using a configuration on your LAN but would like to boot from a local hard
drive if the LAN is unavailable, move the LAN boot option to the top of the list, followed by the hard drive
boot option.
The menu lists boot options that currently exist in the main Boot Manager menu. You can change the priority
of the items by moving them up or down in the list:
•
Press
U
to move an option up.
•
Press
D
to move an option down.
•
Select Save Settings to NVRAM to modify the order in the Boot Manager menu, which modifies the order
that the Boot Manager will attempt to boot the options.
•
The items at the bottom of the screen (shown in bold in these examples) are descriptions of the selected
option.
For example:
Change boot order. Select an Operation
EFI Shell [Built-in]
Current OS
Save Settings to NVRAM

Manage BootNext Setting
Use this option to run the selected boot option immediately upon entering the main Boot Manager menu. This
option is useful for booting an option that only needs to be booted once, without changing any other setting in
the main Boot Manager menu. This is a one-time operation and does not change the permanent system boot
settings.
This option displays the file systems that are on your system and lets you browse these file systems for
applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the.efi extension. You can also select
remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on your network.
To restore the default boot next setting, select Reset BootNext Setting.
For example:
Manage BootNext setting. Select an Operation
EFI Shell [Built-in]
Current OS
Reset BootNext Setting
Save Settings to NVRAM
