Modify the Boot Order (BIOS)
Viewing and Modifying Boot Properties 49
By default, the boot order list is populated only with devices detected on the server that
support the current boot mode. However, if you enable the Persistent Boot Support feature,
every physical slot, network port, and disk drive bay in the server is shown in the boot order
list. For more information about Persistent Boot Support, see “Enabling Persistent Boot
Support” on page 52 .
To change the order of devices in the boot order list, see the following procedures:
■
“Modify the Boot Order (BIOS)” on page 49
■
“Set Temporary Next Boot Device (Oracle ILOM)” on page 50
Modify the Boot Order (BIOS)
1. Access the BIOS Setup Utility.
For instructions, see “Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility” on page 33 .
2. Navigate to the Boot menu.
The Boot Option Priority list shows the current boot order from top to bottom. For example, the
first device in the list indicates the first boot option.
3. In the Boot Option Priority list, select the device in the boot option slot you want
to modify.
For example, if you want to move a device to the second slot, select the second item in the list.
