The Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Boot Manager

The EFI Boot Manager allows you to control the server's booting environment.
Depending on how you have configured the boot options, after the server is
powered up the Boot Manager presents you with different ways to bring up the
system. For example, you can boot to the EFI Shell, to an operating system
located on the network or residing on media in the server, or the Boot
Maintenance Menu.
