Pre-Installation Conguration 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 conguration steps vary from
one UEFI computer model to the next, the following procedure is only an example.
1 Boot into the UEFI rmware conguration.
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
congured.
4 Select System Conguration.
5 Select Integrated NIC.
6 Select the Enable UEFI Network Stack check box.
7 Select either Enabled or Enabled w/PXE.
8 Select Apply
