Table 10. Boot mode options
Option Description
Stop on errors The system stops during boot for errors which require attention from the user to rectify
the issue.
Pause on errors System pauses during boot to show errors but continue boot after it times out. Only
critical events with an infinite timeout halt boot and require the user’s attention to
correct the issue.
Ignore errors (headless mode) System ignores most errors during boot in headless mode and prevents the system from
halting during boot. Headless mode is designed for systems that do not have a dedicated
monitor or a peripheral connected, requiring the user to manage errors during boot. In
headless mode, errors can be monitored by viewing PERC events, the life-cycle log,
operating system logs, and the system event log.
NOTE: In headless mode, any foreign disk is automatically imported during boot.
Safe mode on errors System is routed to safe mode when critical errors arise. PERC firmware disables most of
the features on the controller, and the controller requires attention from the user to
rectify the issue.
NOTE: In UEFI BIOS mode, errors with timeouts do not appear during boot. It is designed to arise only in legacy BIOS
mode.
NOTE: By default, the boot mode option is set to pause on errors.
