Set the BIOS Mode

The BIOS firmware supports both legacy BIOS and Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI); the default setting is Legacy. Oracle VM only supports Legacy BIOS mode at this time. For Oracle VM, you must make sure that BIOS is set to legacy mode before you do the OS installation.

If the BIOS mode has been set to UEFI mode, use the following procedure to set it to Legacy mode.

  1. Power on the server.

    POST messages appear on the console.

  2. Watch the messages, and, when the prompt appears, press F2 to access the BIOS Setup Utility.

    The BIOS Setup Utility main screen appears.

  3. In the BIOS Setup Utility, use the left or right arrow keys to navigate to the Boot screen.

    The Boot Menu screen appears.

  4. Use the down arrow key to select the UEFI/BIOS Boot Mode field.
  5. Press Enter and use the up or down arrow keys to select the Legacy BIOS option.
  6. To save the changes, and exit the BIOS Setup Utility, press F10.
