Table 26. Boot Settings
Option
Description
Boot Mode
Enables you to set the boot mode of the system.
CAUTION:
Switching the boot mode may prevent the system from booting if the
operating system is not installed in the same boot mode.
If the operating system supports UEFI, you can set this option to UEFI. Setting this field to
BIOS allows compatibility with non-UEFI operating systems. This option is set to BIOS by
default.
NOTE:
Setting this field to UEFI disables the BIOS Boot Settings menu. Setting
this field to BIOS disables the UEFI Boot Settings menu.
Boot Sequence Retry
Enables or disables the Boot Sequence Retry feature. If this option is set to Enabled and
the system fails to boot, the system re-attempts the boot sequence after 30 seconds. This
option is set to Enabled by default.
Hard-Disk Failover
Specifies the hard drive that is booted in the event of a hard drive failure. The devices are
selected in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence on the Boot Option Setting menu. When this
option is set to Disabled, only the first hard drive in the list is attempted to boot. When this
option is set to Enabled, all hard drives are attempted to boot in the order selected in the
Hard-Disk Drive Sequence. This option is not enabled for UEFI Boot Mode.
Boot Option Settings

BIOS Boot Settings

NOTE:
This option is enabled only if the boot mode is BIOS.

Choosing system boot mode
System Setup enables you to specify one of the following boot modes for installing your operating system:
•
BIOS boot mode (the default) is the standard BIOS-level boot interface.
•
UEFI (the default) boot mode, is an enhanced 64-bit boot interface. If you have configured your system to boot to UEFI mode, it
replaces the system BIOS.
