Enable Persistent Boot Support (BIOS)
By default, when a boot device is removed and then replaced, that boot device moves to the
last position in the boot order list. The Persistent Boot Support feature enables you to fix the
position of every physical slot, network port, and disk drive bay in the boot order list, regardless
of the presence of a bootable device at each location.
Persistent Boot Support is disabled by default. To enable the Persistent Boot Support feature:
1.
Access the BIOS Setup Utility.
For instructions, see “Accessing the BIOS Setup Utility” on page 34.
2.
Navigate to the Boot menu.
3.
In the Boot menu, select Persistent Boot Support, and then select Enabled.
The boot order list is populated with every physical slot, network port, and disk drive bay in the
server.
4.
Press the F10 function key to save your changes and exit the BIOS Setup Utility.
Configure BIOS Support for TPM (BIOS)
If you intend to use the Windows Server Trusted Platform Module (TPM) feature set, you must
configure the server BIOS to support this feature.
TPM enables you to administer the TPM security hardware in your server. For additional
information about implementing this feature, refer to the Windows Trusted Platform Module
Management documentation provided by Microsoft.
