9.5 UEFI
The UEFI specification abstracts the firmware into protocols and drivers and defines the interface between OS
(UEFI compatible) and the UEFI pre-boot applications. The PowerEdge R510 implementation is compliant with
UEFI version 2.1. Interfaces are implemented in 64-bit processor mode.
PowerEdge R510 runs UEFI over legacy BIOS. The system BIOS executes, initializing the system and
configuring the hardware.
BIOS F2 setup has an option for selecting the desired boot mode: BIOS or UEFI.
Table 18. UEFI Summary
• Compliant with UEFI specification 2.1
• A layer on top of the existing legacy BIOS
• Independent of processor and chipset technology.
• Running in 64-bit long mode
• Supportive of GUID Partition Table (GPT)
formatted disks
• A PIWG (DXE, PEI) implementation
• A complete rewrite of the system firmware
• Developed as a server UEFI implementation or
desktop and notebook implementations.
• Associated to AMD or Intel based platforms.
• Running in 16-bit real mode
• Supportive of legacy MBR formatted disks
