Boot Settings screen

You can use the Boot Settings screen to set the Boot mode to either BIOS or UEFI. It also enables you to specify the boot order.

To view the Boot Settings screen, click System Setup Main Menu > System BIOS > Boot Settings .

The Boot Settings screen details are explained as follows:

Menu Item	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. NOTE: Setting this field to UEFI disables the BIOS Boot Settings menu. Setting this field to BIOS disables the UEFI Boot Settings menu. 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. By default, the Boot Mode option is set to BIOS.
Boot Sequence Retry	Enables or disables the Boot Sequence Retry feature. If this field is enabled and the system fails to boot, the system reattempts the boot sequence after 30 seconds. By default, the Boot Sequence Retry option is set to Enabled.
Hard-Disk Failover	Specifies the devices in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence that are attempted in the boot sequence. When this option is set to Disabled, only the first hard disk device in the list is attempted to boot. When set to Enabled, all hard disk devices are attempted to boot, as listed in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence. This option is not enabled for UEFI Boot Mode.
Boot Option Settings	Configures the boot sequence and the boot devices.
