Boot Mode
(BIOS default)

CAUTION:

Switching the boot mode could prevent

the system from booting if the operating system was
not installed in the same boot mode.

If the system operating system supports UEFI, you can
set this option to UEFI. Setting this field to BIOS allows
compatibility with non-UEFI operating systems.

NOTE:

Setting this field to

UEFI disables the Boot

Sequence, Hard-Disk Drive Sequence, and USB Flash Drive
Emulation Type fields.

Boot Sequence

If Boot Mode is set to BIOS, this field indicates to the
system the location of the operating system files needed
for startup. If Boot Mode is set to UEFI, you can access
the UEFI boot manager utility by rebooting the system
and pressing F11 when prompted to do so.
