6.3.1 BIOS Recovery
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an
interruption occurs the BIOS could be unstable. The table below lists the drives
and media types that can be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media
does not need to be made bootable.
Media Type Can be used for BIOS recovery?
Hard disk drive (connected to USB) Yes
USB flash drive Yes
NVME SSD (M.2 interface) Yes
6.4.1 Boot Device Selection During Post
Pressing the <F10> key during POST causes a boot device menu to be
displayed. The menu displays the list of available boot devices.
NOTE: Supported file systems for BIOS recovery: NTFS (sparse, compressed,
or encrypted files are not supported), FAT32, EXT.
6.4 Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive,
removable driver, or the network. The default setting is for the hard drive to be
the first boot device, the removable drive second, and the network third.
NOTE: The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows
booting from the onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote
boot ROM installed. Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically
forces booting from the LAN. To use this key during POST, the User Access
Level in the BIOS Setup program’s Security menu must be set to Full.
