UEFI System Utilities
Most servers have a UEFI Class 2 implementation and support both UEFI Boot Mode (default) and Legacy
BIOS Boot Mode. The boot mode is configured through the Boot Mode setting in UEFI System Utilities. Note
that servers with a UEFI Class 3 implementation support UEFI Boot Mode only and do not have a Boot Mode
setting in UEFI System Utilities.
The UEFI System Utilities is embedded in the system ROM. The UEFI System Utilities 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
• Configuring memory options
• Selecting a language
• Launching other preboot environments such as the Embedded UEFI Shell
For more information, see the UEFI System Utilities user guide on the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
