Boot Settings
By default, server boot behavior is controlled by the server profile or server profile template. The server hardware type determines the available options in the server profile or server profile template.
HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers support both legacy BIOS and UEFI for configuring the boot process. See the appropriate support or compatibility matrix on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library for a complete list of supported servers.

Manage boot mode (Gen9 and later server hardware) |
Enable this option to manage the boot mode and PXE boot policy, if applicable. If
Manage boot mode is disabled, HPE OneView will not change the PXE boot mode or PXE boot policy.
NOTE:
When Manage boot mode is disabled on a server profile template to which the server profile is associated, HPE OneView will not perform compliance checks and remediation on boot-related settings on the server profile. For example, if you change a SAN attachment that is not set as a boot volume in the server profile template to be bootable in an associated server profile, HPE OneView will not flag the server profile as non-compliant with the server profile template.

Manage boot order |
Enable this option to specify the order in which devices will be presented as boot targets. If you disable Manage boot order, the BIOS determines the server boot order on the selected server hardware. NOTE:
On Gen9 BL servers, the Manage boot order option is available only if the Manage boot mode option is enabled. When the server hardware boots and the first device specified is unavailable, the server attempts to boot from the second device, and so on. To provide redundant paths, primary and secondary sources can be defined when booting via Ethernet or SAN connections. PXE and Hard disk selections do not control SD placement in the boot order. Boot targets can change based on the server hardware. For Gen9 BL servers in UEFI or UEFI optimized boot mode:
