Pre-Installation Conguration for UEFI Computers
Enable Network Connectivity During UEFI Preboot
Authentication
In order for preboot authentication to succeed on a computer with UEFI rmware, the PBA must have network connectivity. By default,
computers with UEFI rmware do not have network connectivity until the operating system is loaded, which occurs after PBA mode.
The following procedure enables network connectivity during PBA for UEFI-enabled computers. Because the conguration steps vary from
one UEFI computer model to the next, the following procedure is only an example.
1 Boot into the UEFI rmware conguration.
2 Press F2 continuously during boot until you see a message in the upper right screen similar to "preparing one-time boot menu."
3 Enter the BIOS administrator password, if prompted.
NOTE
:
Typically, you will not see this prompt if this is a new computer since the BIOS password has not yet been
congured.
4 Select System Conguration.
5 Select Integrated NIC.
6 Select the Enable UEFI Network Stack check box.
7 Select either Enabled or Enabled w/PXE.
8 Select Apply
