User Service Guide, Third Edition - HP Integrity rx4640 Server

presents you with different ways to bring up the server. For example, you can boot to the EFI
shell, to an operating system located on the network or residing on media in the server, or the
Boot Configuration menu, see “Using the Boot Configuration Menu” (page 157).
Boot From File Enables the user to explore the EFI file system and to choose a file to boot.
The selected file will not be added to the boot option list.
Add Boot Entry Adds a boot option to the EFI boot manager. You select the
boot option by exploring the available file systems for the EFI
file you want to add. After selecting the file, you will be
prompted for the name of the boot option and for any optional
ASCII or UNICODE arguments the file might use. After saving
the boot option, you may boot it by selecting it from the list
of available boot options in the boot menu.
Remove Boot Entry Deletes a specific boot entry or all boot entries.
Edit OS Boot Order Controls the relative order in which the EFI boot manager
attempts boot options. For help on the control key sequences
you need for this option, see the help menu.
BootNext Configuration Selects a boot option to use one time (the next boot operation).
AutoBoot Configuration Defines the value in seconds that pass before the server
automatically boots without user intervention. Setting this
value to zero disables the timeout feature.
