## <mark style="color:blue;">1- System Overview</mark>

This document outlines the UEFI configuration menus and settings for the OnLogic Axial AX300 Series Edge Servers. The terms “BIOS” and “UEFI” are often used interchangeably in this document to describe the firmware interface used to start up a system. UEFI is a more advanced firmware interface that provides similar functionality to legacy BIOS firmware. UEFI offers a more flexible and feature-rich environment for controlling hardware and boot processes. It is designed to work with larger hard drives and newer hardware features, such as 64-bit processors, Secure Boot, and virtualization. The Axial AX300 Series Edge Servers utilize modern UEFI firmware for enhanced functionality and to support the most recent technologies.
