Enabling or disabling automatic execution of the Embedded UEFI Shell startup script

Use the UEFI Shell Script Auto-Start option to enable or disable automatic execution of the Embedded UEFI Shell startup script during Shell startup.

  • You can use the startup script to create a RAM disk, download files from the network, collect data, upload results back to network, and then boot to the OS without rebooting the system.
  • You can store the script file on local media, or access it from a network location.

  • Name the script file startup.nsh and place it on local media or a network location accessible to the server.

  • When auto-start is enabled, and the Shell Auto-Start Script Location option is set to Auto, the Shell looks for the script file in a network location first, followed by any locally attached FAT16, or FAT32-formatted media.
  • It is recommended that you have only one startup.nsh file on one file system.

Prerequisites
  • Boot Mode is set to UEFI Mode.
