4.1.7 Configure Legacy/UEFI Boot Type
Nuvo-5095GC 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 or want to use TPM 2.0 function, 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-5095GC 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-5095GC controller.
