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.
- Embedded UEFI Shell is enabled.
