Boot Mode

Use this option to set the boot mode for the system. ProLiant Gen9 servers and Synergy compute modules provide two boot mode configurations: UEFI Mode and Legacy BIOS Mode. Certain boot options require that you select a specific boot mode.

By default, the boot mode is set to UEFI Mode. The system must boot in UEFI Mode to use the following options:
  • Secure Boot

  • UEFI Optimized Boot

  • Generic USB Boot

  • IPv6 PXE Boot

  • iSCSI Boot

  • Boot from URL

NOTE:

The boot mode you use must match the operating system installation. If not, changing the boot mode can impact the ability of the server to boot to the installed operating system.
