(PowerEdge M910, M710,

If the operating system supports Unified Extensible
Firmware Interface, set this option to UEFI. Setting this
field to BIOS allows compatibility with non-UEFI
operating systems.
NOTE: Setting this field to UEFI disables the Boot
Sequence, Hard-Disk Drive Sequence, and USB Flash Drive
Emulation Type fields.
Boot Sequence If Boot Mode is set to BIOS, this field tells the system
where the operating system files needed for startup are
located. If Boot Mode is set to UEFI, you can access the
UEFI boot manager utility by rebooting the system and
pressing F11 when prompted to do so.
Hard-Disk Drive
Sequence
Determines the order in which the BIOS attempts to
boot from hard drives in the system during system
startup.

Hard disk allows the USB flash drive to act as a hard
drive. Floppy allows the USB flash drive to act as a
removable diskette drive. Auto automatically chooses an
emulation type.

If this field is enabled and the system has failed to boot,
the system reattempts to boot after 30 seconds.
