You can change basic settings concerning your server operations under Settings.

Here, you can adjust the boot order of your server. If you want to use the rescue system, for example, it is necessary to change the order, so that Network is first in line.

To change the boot sequence, simply drag the available media sources into the desired order using drag and drop (dragging with the left mouse button pressed) and then confirm your selection by clicking Save and OK.

The boot devices are accessed from top to bottom during booting, so the topmost item is what your server will try to boot from.

Here, you can configure how the processor should be presented to the server by our host system.

The Sockets slider allows you to define the number of physical sockets that are to be emulated, and the Cores per Socket slider allows you to define the number of cores each socket should have. It is not possible to define a combination with which a customer would have more or fewer CPU cores than contractually agreed upon.

This setting should only be used if you have a specific need, such as some operating systems or applications having licensing agreements dependent on the socket and/or core count. In such situations, this setting can be useful, but the average user should avoid making changes here.

When you have made your selection, confirm by clicking Save and OK.

Here, you can select the keyboard layout for the VNC console (Screen). To do so, click the selection box and select your desired layout. de, for example, would allow you to use the German keyboard layout.

When you have made your selection, confirm by clicking Save and OK.

Here, you can use the drop-down menu  to change the operating system kernel you are currently using, either Linux or Windows. This enables some additional optimizations on our part.

When you have made your selection, confirm by clicking Save and OK.

Here, you can select whether your server should be started automatically when the host system is started. If a netcup host system needs to be restarted, for example during maintenance, having this setting activated triggers an automatic restart of your server as well.

You may change this behavior by activating the slider and confirming your selection by clicking OK.

Here, you can choose whether to use UEFI firmware instead of the legacy BIOS.

You can enable UEFI boot by activating the slider and clicking OK.
