System Configuration
Delete Boot Option(s)
Use this option to remove boot options from the EFI boot menu.
NOTE: This does not delete any files, applications or drivers from the server.
This option displays a list of boot options that are configured on the server. The names match the
options on the main Boot Manager menu (above).
If you remove a drive from the server, you must manually delete it from the boot options list.
■ To delete an item from the list, use the arrow keys to highlight the item and press Enter.
■ To remove all of the entries from the EFI boot menu, select Delete All Boot Options. This
setting can be used as a security device on systems that are accessed remotely.
Change Boot Order
Use this option to change the order of boot options. The order in which options are listed in the
EFI boot menu also reflects the order in which the system attempts to boot. If the first boot option
fails, the system tries booting the second, then the third, and so forth, until a boot option succeeds
or until all options have failed.
For example, if you normally boot using a configuration on your LAN but would like to boot
from a local hard drive if the LAN is unavailable, move the LAN boot option to the top of the list,
followed by the hard drive boot option.
The menu lists boot options that currently exist in the main Boot Manager menu. You can
change the priority of the items by moving them up or down in the list:
■ Press U to move an option up.
■ Press D to move an option down.
■ Select Save Settings to NVRAM to modify the order in the Boot Manager menu, which
modifies the order that the Boot Manager attempts to boot the options.
■ The items at the bottom of the screen (shown in bold in these examples) are descriptions of
the selected option.
For example:
Change boot order. Select an Operation
EFI Shell [Built-in]
Current OS
Save Settings to NVRAM

Manage BootNext Setting
Use this option to run the selected boot option immediately upon entering the main Boot
Manager menu. This option is useful for booting an option that only needs to be booted once,
without changing any other setting in the main Boot Manager menu. This is a one-time
operation and does not change the permanent system boot settings.
