Boot Agent is visible in the Boot Option Priorities menu. This allows you to boot from a
PXE server on the local subnet. Note that the Intel Boot Agent device names are preceded
by
IBA GE Slot
in the
Boot Option Priorities
menu.
•
Boot Option Priorities—These settings specify the order in which the BIOS attempts to
boot from bootable devices, including the local hard disk drive, removable devices such
as USB flash disk drives or USB CD-ROM drives, or the PXE network boot agent. The
BIOS will first attempt to boot from the device associated with
Boot Option #1
, followed
by
Boot Option #2
and
Boot Option #3
. If multiple boot devices are not present, the
BIOS setup utility will not display all of these configuration options. To select a boot
device, press <Enter> on the desired configuration option and select a boot device from
the resulting menu. You can also disable individual boot options by selecting
Disabled
.
Note
For each detected drive, the boot option may list a UEFI option and an option
without UEFI. This depends on whether the drive supports booting with UEFI,
legacy BIOS, or both. If a drive is not displayed as a boot option, use the Drive or
Device BBS Priorities setting to change the relative priority of the drive.
