* The default position for switch 7 is set in the factory shipping configuration. This switch setting determines the BIOS mode the system defaults to when configuration memory is cleared to factory defaults. The User defined defaults setting in UEFI System Utilities supersedes this switch.
IMPORTANT: To avoid a mismatch between boot modes, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends setting system maintenance switch 7 to the same BIOS boot mode the server is deployed in. Otherwise, the storage controller may not recognize the OS installed on the storage media. |
