4.1.8 Configure Legacy/UEFI Boot Type
Nuvo-6000 series supports both legacy and UEFI boot mode. UEFI, or Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface, is a specification proposed by Intel to define a software interface
between operating system and platform firmware. Most modern operating systems, such as
Windows 7/8/10 and Linux, support both legacy and UEFI boot mode. Compared to that
legacy boot uses MBR partition for disk and VBIOS for video initialization, UEFI boot uses
GPT partition which supports > 2TB partition size and GOP driver for faster video
initialization.
Here is our suggestion of choosing legacy boot or UEFI boot for your system.
-
If you need > 2TB disk partition, you shall choose UEFI boot mode and install operating
system accordingly.
-
Otherwise you can choose legacy boot mode for most cases.
To configure legacy or UEFI boot type:
1. When Nuvo-6000 controller boots up, press F2 to enter BIOS setup utility.
2. Go to
[Boot]
.
3. Set the
[Boot Type]
option to a proper value for your Nuvo-6000 controller.
