I/O bay for the partition, and the boot option value. The expanded policy can be changed, if a

user wants to reduce or increase the amount of devices connected when launching one of the UEFI

user interfaces.

NOTE: If the expanded policy is changed from the default, and the partition configuration is

changed (Example: replace lowest numbered I/O bay), UEFI does not automatically update the

policy to take into account the configuration change. The policy is now considered to be user

managed, so appropriate manual updates to the policy might be necessary.

Confirming the Installed IO cards

After the system console is accessed, and the partition is booted to UEFI, the UEFI Shell command

info io can be used to display the contents of the I/O bays as shown:
