Perform this procedure to configure the network interface and boot settings required by Gigabyte UANs.
Before the UAN product can be installed on Gigabyte UANs, specific network interface and boot settings must be configured in the BIOS.
Press the Delete key to enter the setup utility when prompted to do so in the console.
Navigate to the boot menu.
Set the Boot Option #1 field to Network:UEFI: PXE IP4 Intel(R) I350 Gigabit Network Connection.
Set all other Boot Option fields to Disabled.
Ensure that the boot mode is set to [UEFI].
Confirm that the time is set correctly. If the time is not accurate, correct it now.
Incorrect time will cause PXE booting issues.
Select Save & Exit to save the settings.
Select Yes to confirm and press the Enter key.
The UAN will reboot.
Optional: Run the following IPMI commands if the BIOS settings do not persist.
