Select the BIOS Boot Mode

The BIOS firmware supports both Legacy BIOS and Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot modes; the default setting is Legacy boot mode.

Note - Oracle VM only supports Legacy boot mode at this time. Before installing Oracle VM, make sure that BIOS is set to Legacy boot mode.

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

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

Press Enter and use the up or down arrow keys to select the Legacy BIOS option.
To save the changes, and exit the BIOS Setup Utility, press F10.
