About Boot Manager
Boot manager enables you to add, delete, and arrange boot options. You can also access System Setup and boot options
without restarting the system.
Entering the UEFI Boot Manager
NOTE: Operating systems must be 64-bit UEFI-compatible (for example, Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 version) to
be installed from the UEFI boot mode. DOS and 32-bit operating systems can only be installed from the BIOS boot mode.
The Boot Manager enables you to:
● Add, delete, and arrange boot options
● Access System Setup and BIOS-level boot options without rebooting
To enter the Boot Manager:
1. Turn on or restart your system.
2. Press F11 after you see the following message:
F11 = UEFI Boot Manager
If your operating system begins to load before you press F11, allow the system to finish booting, and then restart your system
and try again.
