+Features of the ``redfish`` hardware type
+=========================================
+
+Boot mode support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The ``redfish`` hardware type can read current boot mode from the
+bare metal node as well as set it to either Legacy BIOS or UEFI.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Boot mode management is the optional part of the Redfish specification.
+ Not all Redfish-compliant BMCs might implement it. In that case
+ it remains the responsibility of the operator to configure proper
+ boot mode to their bare metal nodes.
