Option
Parameter
Description
Embedded UEFI Shell
[Enabled]
Disabled
Use this option to enable or disable the Embedded
UEFI Shell. When enabled, you can launch the
Embedded UEFI Shell from the pre-boot
environment. When enabled and the Boot Mode is
configured for UEFI Mode, you can add the
Embedded UEFI Shell to the UEFI Boot Order list
by selecting the option entitled 'Add Embedded
UEFI Shell to Boot Order'. When disabled, the
Embedded UEFI Shell is not available in the
pre-boot environment, and you cannot add it to the
UEFI Boot Order list. The Embedded UEFI Shell is
a pre-boot command line environment that you can
use for scripting and running UEFI applications. It
provides CLI-based commands to configure the
server, update the System BIOS and other
firmware, and obtain system information and error
logs.
Add Embedded UEFI Shell
to Boot Order
Enabled
[Disabled]
When enabled, this option adds the Embedded
UEFI Shell as an entry in the UEFI Boot Order list.
This option is only available when the Boot Mode is
configured to UEFI Mode and the Embedded UEFI
Shell is enabled.
UEFI Shell Script
Auto-Start
Enabled
[Disabled]
Use this option to enable or disable automatic
execution of the Embedded UEFI Shell startup
script. You can store the script file on local media or
access it from a network location. You must name
the script file "startup.nsh" and place it on local
media or a network location accessible to the
server.
Shell Script Verification
Enabled
[Disabled]
Enable this option to allow verification of UEFI shell
script files when Secure Boot is enabled. For
successful execution of script, make sure that UEFI
shell scripts are enrolled in the Secure Boot
database (db).
Shell Auto-Start Script
Location
[Auto]
File System on Attached Media
Network Location
Use this option to select the location of the
Embedded UEFI Shell startup script. For the 'File
Systems on Attached Media' option, you must
name the script file "startup.nsh" and place it on a
UEFI accessible local file system, such as a FAT32
partition on a USB disk or HDD. For the 'Network
Location' option, the file must end with a .nsh
extension, and must be placed at an HTTP/HTTPS
or FTP location accessible to the system. When
you select the 'Auto' option, the system attempts to
retrieve the startup script from the network location
first, followed by locally attached media.
