 Legacy 
Boot Order 
Setting 
When checked, allows the system to boot from non-UEFI devices. 
Requires Legacy Boot Enable and Secure Boot Disable. See Secure 
Boot Configuration > Configure Legacy Support and Secure Boot. 
When Legacy Boot is Disabled, the check boxes for UEFI Boot Order 
and Legacy Boot Order are disabled, because only UEFI devices can 
boot in this mode. 
When enabling the UEFI Boot Order, the system attempts to boot 
from all UEFI devices before any non-UEFI devices. 
Arrange the boot order from the non-UEFI devices found. By 
default, the system arranges the boot order by device type using 
the following precedence: 
1.  USB 
2.  SATA DVD (Desktop Only) 
3.  SATA Hard Drives 
4.  M.2 devices 
5.  Network Boot 
NOTE: No boot devices are shown if Legacy Support is off.
