UEFI and Boot Order

I have an Asrock z87 Extreme6.

When it is set to UEFI mode, it will not give me the option to select boot from USB or CD. Those options are only available when it is set to BIOS emulation mode.

Is this normal? I'm new to UEFI and this MOBO. I find it hard to imagine that UEFI only allows boot from HDD/SSD.

Thanks!
 
I had that happen on an asrock board too. I had to let it boot from the CD drive in normal mode, then rebooted the computer, went back into the UEFI/BIOS and the UEFI option was there. Odd, but I've had it happen twice on two different ASROCK boards.
 
I wonder if that's a design flaw by Asrock, a bug, or whether that's what is supposed to happen with UEFI?

Did you ever find another way to boot, in UEFI mode, from another device (CD or USB)?

Does anyone know whether that is consistent with other mobo vendors and their UEFI implementations?

Yes, Like I said, all I had to do was let it boot from the CD ROM in standard mode, then during the first setup screen during my windows installation, I simple ctrl+alt+delete out of there, went back into the UEFI and the option to boot from CD ROM via UEFI shell was there. I selected it and restarted.
