NOTE: For more details on user privilege levels, see Privilege Levels In The Server Administrator GUI.
NOTE: Based on available hardware, dependencies may exist between the various attributes for settings. For example, setting a attribute value may change the state of the dependent attributes to non-editable or editable, as the case may be. For example, changing the Boot Mode to UEFI from the Boot Settings page does not allow you to configure the Boot or Hard-Disk Drive Sequence in the BIOS Boot Settings page.

Boot Sequence

Determines the one-time boot device when the One-Time Boot Device list is set to BIOS Boot Sequence Device. If Boot Mode is set to UEFI, the system temporarily switches the Boot Mode to BIOS when attempting a one-time boot to the device.

NOTE: BIOS Boot Sequence can be configured only when Boot Mode is set to BIOS.

Hard-Disk Drive Sequence

Determines the one-time boot hard disk when the One-Time Boot Device List is set to BIOS Hard-Disk Drive Sequence Device. If Boot Mode is set to UEFI, the system temporarily switches the Boot Mode to BIOS when attempting a one-time boot to the device.
