•
If an OS is installed in the hard disk drive connected via the USB interface, its boot
entry (such as "Windows Boot Manager") is registered in Hard Disk of BIOS SETUP.
This is because the boot entries registered by OS do not contain the information of
USB hard disk drive, thus the USB hard disk drive is recognized as a general hard disk
drive.
Note OS boot entry is cleared by using "Reset Param BIOS" feature of Remote Management.
Also, when a bootable device is disconnected from the server or it is in a condition not to be
recognized by the operation of Remote Management or the influence of failure or anything,
OS boot entry is cleared. To recover OS boot entry, restore the configuration file backed up
by using Backup/Restore feature of Remote Management or set it again with the tool on
OS. Refer to Chapter 3 (7.7.3 Backup/Restore) in User's Guide for more information.
