2. Click the Boot or UEFI Sequence tab.

3. Use the Move Up and Move Down to change the BIOS or UEFI boot sequence or the hard disk drive sequence.
   After you manually map SAN boot device in server, it is visible as hard disk drive sequence. To change the boot sequence for SAN boot device, use Move Up to move up the SAN boot device in the hard disk drive sequence until it is the first boot device in the hard disk drive sequence.

   NOTE If more than one SAN boot device is present in the hard disk drive sequence and you select a specified device as the first boot device, the selection of the first boot device is based on the sequence in the Lifecycle Controller.
4. Click OK to save the changes.
