BootNext Configuration
To run the selected boot option immediately upon entering the main Boot Manager menu, use
the BootNext option. 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.
This option displays the file systems that are on your server 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.
To restore the default boot next setting, select Reset BootNext Setting.
For example:
Manage BootNext setting. Select an Operation
EFI Shell [Built-in]
Current OS
Reset BootNext Setting
Save Settings to NVRAM

AutoBoot Configuration
To set the amount of time the server pauses before attempting to launch the first item in the Boot
Options list, use the AutoBoot option.
For example:
Set Auto Boot Timeout. Select an Option
Set Timeout Value
Delete/Disable Timeout
Help
Exit
Interrupting the timeout during the countdown stops the Boot Manager from loading any boot
options automatically. If there is no countdown, boot options must be selected manually.
• To set the auto boot timeout value, in seconds, select Set Timeout Value and enter the
desired value.
• To disable the timeout function, select Delete/Disable Timeout.
NOTE: When this option is selected, the server does not automatically boot. The server stops
at the EFI boot menu and waits for user input.
Driver Configuration
To define the devices that display output from the system console, use the option. This list
normally includes the VGA monitor and a serial port for directing output to a terminal emulation
package.
