UEFI System Utilities
The UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. Its features enable you to perform a wide
range of configuration activities, including:
• Configuring system devices and installed options.
• Enabling and disabling system features.
• Displaying system information.
• Selecting the primary boot controller or partition.
• Configuring memory options.
• Launching other preboot environments.
HPE servers with UEFI can provide:
• Support for boot partitions larger than 2.2 TB. Such configurations could previously only be used for
boot drives when using RAID solutions.
• Secure Boot that enables the system firmware, option card firmware, operating systems, and software
collaborate to enhance platform security.
• UEFI Graphical User Interface (GUI)
• An Embedded UEFI Shell that provides a preboot environment for running scripts and tools.
• Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM.
Selecting the boot mode
This server provides 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 certain options, including:
• Secure Boot, UEFI Optimized Boot, Generic USB Boot, IPv6 PXE Boot, iSCSI Boot, and Boot from
URL
• Fibre Channel/FCoE Scan Policy
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.
Prerequisite
When booting to
UEFI Mode
, leave
UEFI Optimized Boot
enabled.
