Option ROM Launch
Policy
(Windows 8 only). Windows 8 installs as a UEFI operating system (as opposed to ‘legacy’), and
ships with the ‘Legacy Support’ setting off in the BIOS. When ‘Legacy Support’ is off, the Option
ROM Launch Policies are set to ‘UEFI Only’. These policies control whether the Legacy Option ROM
or the UEFI driver is loaded for the following features:
●
PXE Option ROMs (UEFI Only/Do Not Launch). Specifies whether the legacy option ROM or
the UEFI driver in the BIOS is used to provide PXE services.
●
Storage Option ROMs (UEFI Only/Do Not Launch). Specifies whether the legacy option ROM
or the UEFI driver in the BIOS is used to provide RAID setup and support.
●
Video Option ROMs (UEFI Only/Do Not Launch). Specifies whether the legacy VBIOS or the
UEFI driver in the BIOS is used to provide graphics setup and support.
●
NetClone Option ROMs (Legacy Only/Do Not Launch). Only available on models with the
NetClone operating system.
