Sheriff CSM™

Changing the Boot Sequence of a Sheriff CSM Hardware

By default, the Sheriff CSM hardware appliance boots from its hard disk. When trying to restore the software on a Sheriff CSM to its factory status, you need to configure Sheriff CSM to boot from the USB drive instead. This section provides instructions for performing this task.

Starting from version 5.4, Sheriff ships Sheriff CSM hardware built on Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) ProLiant Gen9 Servers. All prior versions of Sheriff CSM hardware are built on Supermicro servers. Follow the instructions pertaining to the Sheriff CSM hardware you have.

If the rear view of your Sheriff CSM hardware looks similar to the below, it is built on a Supermicro server.

To configure a Sheriff CSM on Supermicro hardware to boot from a USB drive

  1. Reboot Sheriff CSM, and press Del or Delete to launch the BIOS Setup Utility.

  2. Using the arrow keys, move to Boot.
