Installation Manual

An error occurs if you try to change the server boot order when the server is in POST. You cannot
modify the boot order during POST. If this error occurs, wait for POST to finish, and then try
again.
Configuring the server boot mode
Servers that support the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface include the UEFI System Utilities
software, which is embedded in the system ROM. On servers that support this feature, the iLO
web interface Boot Order page includes the Boot Mode section.
Use the Boot Mode setting to define how the server looks for OS boot firmware. You can select
UEFI or the Legacy BIOS.
