HP Server UEFI
/Legacy ROM

Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is an industry standard that provides better
manageability and more secured configuration while interacting with your server at boot time. HP
ProLiant Gen9 platform defaults to UEFI and can be factory or field configured for Legacy BIOS
Boot Mode.

NOTE: 

The UEFI System Utilities function is analogous to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility

(RBSU) of legacy BIOS. For more information, please visit

UEFI enables numerous new capabilities specific to HP ProLiant servers such as:

Secure Boot
Operating system specific functionality
Support for > 2.2 TB (using GPT) boot drives
USB 3.0 Stack
Embedded UEFI Shell
Mass Configuration Deployment Tool using HP RESTful API
PXE boot support for IPv6 networks
Boot support for option cards that only support a UEFI option ROM

NOTE:

NOTE: 

For UEFI Boot Mode, boot environment and OS image installations should be configured

properly to support UEFI.

NOTE: 

HP UEFI FIO Setting (758959-B22) can be selected to configure the system in Legacy

mode in the factory.
