Set the Boot Manager timeout

Set the Boot Manager timeout

When you network boot a device in to the KACE Boot Environment (KBE), you can specify how long the Boot Manager displays on a target device.

Typically, in a test environment where you are setting up and troubleshooting devices, you can increase the timeout. In a production environment; however, decreasing the timeout to a few seconds should discourage users from attempting to interrupt the boot sequence.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click General Settings to display the General Settings page.
2.
Under PXE Options, in Boot Manager Timeout, enter the duration in seconds.
The default value is 15 seconds. You can increase the timeout up to 15 minutes or 900 seconds; an increased timeout period might cause users to interrupt the boot sequence.
3.
Click Save.

The Boot Manager timeout for all PXE boots from the appliance is changed.
