based on the server configuration and installed hardware components.
Boot From File
To manually run a specific application or driver, use this option.
NOTE: This option boots the selected application or driver one time only. When you exit the
application, you return to this menu.
This option displays the file systems that are on your server or workstation and lets you browse
these file systems for applications or drivers that are executable. Executable files end with the
.efi extension. You can also select remote boot (LAN) options that have been configured on
your network.
For example:
Boot From a File. Select a Volume
NO VOLUME LABEL [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)/CDROM
CD_FORMAT [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)/CDROM
Removable Media Boot [Acpi(HWP0002,500)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Secondary,Master)
Load File [EFI Shell [Built-in]]
Load File [Acpi(HWP0002,0)/Pci(3|0)/Mac(00306E4C4F1A)]
Exit
In this example:
• NO VOLUME LABEL is a hard drive. When you format a hard drive, the EFI tools provide
an option to LABEL the disk. In this example, the volume was not labelled.
• CD_FORMAT is the label created for the disk currently inside the DVD drive.
• Removable Media Boot allows you to boot from a removable media drive (CD/DVD drive).
This option does not support booting from a specific file on a specific removable media disc.
• The two load files are the EFI Shell and the LAN.

This option displays the file systems that are on your server and lets you browse these file systems
