Description

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 Unified

Extensible Firmware Interface, 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 tells the system

where the operating system files needed for startup are

located. 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.

Hard-Disk Drive

Sequence

Determines the order in which the BIOS will attempt to

boot from hard drives in the system during system

startup.

USB Flash Drive

Emulation Type

(Auto default)

Determines the emulation type for a USB flash drive.

Hard disk allows the USB flash drive to act as a hard

drive. Floppy allows the USB flash drive to act as a

removable diskette drive. Auto automatically chooses an

emulation type.

Boot Sequence Retry

(Disabled default)

If this field is enabled and the system has failed to boot,

the system will reattempt to boot after 30 seconds.
