Using UEFI

The BIOS firmware controls the system from power-on until an operating system is booted.

The Oracle Server X6-2 contains a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) that can be

configured to support either UEFI or Legacy BIOS. Legacy BIOS is the default mode, and

should be used with software and adapters that do not have UEFI drivers.

This section includes the following information:

■

“Selecting Legacy BIOS or UEFI Boot Mode” on page 206

■

“Switching Between Legacy BIOS and UEFI Boot Modes” on page 207

■

“UEFI Boot Mode Advantages” on page 208

■

“Configuration Utilities for Add-In Cards” on page 208

Selecting Legacy BIOS or UEFI Boot Mode

You can select either Legacy BIOS Boot Mode or UEFI Boot Mode. Legacy BIOS Boot Mode

is the default.

If you change BIOS boot modes, the boot candidates from the previously selected mode are

no longer available from the Boot Options Priority List in the BIOS Setup Utility. The boot

candidates from the new mode appear in the Boot Options Priority List only after you select

Save Changes and Reset from the BIOS Setup Utility menu. Use the Oracle ILOM BIOS

Backup and Restore function to preserve the BIOS configuration in case you want to switch

back to the previously selected mode. For information, refer to the Oracle Integrated Lights Out
Manager (ILOM) 3.2 Documentation Library at

http://www.oracle.com/goto/ilom/docs

All supported operating systems can use either UEFI Boot Mode or Legacy BIOS Boot Mode.

However, once you choose a boot mode and install an operating system, if you reboot the server

and select a different boot mode, the installed image can only be used in the mode in which

it was installed. For instructions for selecting either UEFI Boot Mode or Legacy BIOS Boot

Mode, see

“Selecting Legacy BIOS or UEFI Boot Mode” on page 206
