The Settings section of the Options tab has two advanced settings. Most customers never need to change them.

Settings tab with Boot Type BIOS and UEFI buttons and an Auto Configuration switch

Options › Settings

​
Boot Type

The current setting is also shown as Loader on the server’s Overview tab.

​
Change the boot type

1

Open your server

Go to Servers and click Manage next to the server.
2

Open Options › Settings

Click Options, then Settings.
3

Choose BIOS or UEFI

Click BIOS or UEFI next to Boot Type. It saves straight away, with no confirmation: you’ll see Settings updated. A restart is required to apply the changes to the server.
4

Restart

Restart the server so it starts with the new setting.
If your installed system was set up for BIOS and you switch to UEFI (or the other way round), it may not start. Switch back to the previous setting to fix it.

​
Auto Configuration

Auto Configuration sets up your server’s network and other essentials automatically.
  • Leave it on if you use one of our ready-made operating systems.
  • You may turn it off if you installed your own operating system from an ISO and want to set the network yourself.
Click the switch to change it. Like the boot type, it saves immediately and takes effect after a restart.
If your network stops working after you turn it off, turn Auto Configuration back on, or set the details from your server’s Network tab inside the server yourself.
