Initial Configuration (Legacy/Dual Mode)
This section describes the management screen when Boot Type is set to Dual Boot Type or Legacy Boot Type on the BIOS screen.
All configurations described in this document are performed on the Configuration Utility, which is only accessible during server restart. To monitor controller card status and obtain configuration information when the system is running, use the StorCLI tool.
If the boot type is changed after the OS has been installed in Legacy or UEFI mode, the OS will be inaccessible. To access the OS, you need to change the boot type to that used when the OS is installed. If the OS needs to be reinstalled, select the Legacy or UEFI mode based on actual situation.
If multiple boot devices are configured, you are advised to set Boot Type to UEFI Boot because certain boot devices may fail to boot if Boot Type is set to Legacy Boot. If you still want to set Boot Type to Legacy Boot, then disable redirection for certain serial ports or disable PXE for certain NICs based on the services in use. For details, see Setting PXE for a NIC and Setting Serial Port Redirection in the respective BIOS Parameter Reference.
