First Boot Device
This feature allows you to select the first boot device for your system and
enable boot once. The system boots from the selected device on the next and
subsequent reboots and remains as the first boot device in the BIOS boot
order, until it is changed again either from the iDRAC6 GUI or from the
BIOS Boot sequence. If Boot Once is enabled, the system boots from the
selected device only once. Subsequently, the system boots according to the
BIOS Boot sequence.
