Dell PowerEdge R830 Owner's Manual
Choosing the system boot mode
System Setup enables you to specify one of the following boot modes for installing your operating system:
- BIOS boot mode (the default) is the standard BIOS-level boot interface.
- Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) (the default) boot mode is an enhanced 64-bit boot interface. If you have configured your system to boot to UEFI mode, it replaces the system BIOS.
- From the System Setup Main Menu, click Boot Settings, and select Boot Mode.
- Select the boot mode you want the system to boot into.CAUTION: Switching the boot mode may prevent the system from booting if the operating system is not installed in the same boot mode.
- After the system boots in the specified boot mode, proceed to install your operating system from that mode.
NOTE:
- Operating systems must be UEFI-compatible to be installed from the UEFI boot mode. DOS and 32-bit operating systems do not support UEFI and can only be installed from the BIOS boot mode.
