So I re-enabled SecureBoot and removed all NICs from the boot order. I added in the HDD (since this is an EFI boot, the HDD is an entry called "Ubuntu" under "OTHER" in the boot order)
This fails to boot, I get an error from the system:
Error 1962: No operating system found. Boot sequence will automatically repeat.
Because I have no NICs listed in the boot order, this just churns as it keeps retrying the HDD entry.
So next, I went back and disabled SecureBoot once more. It immediately booted straight from the HDD.
I also just tried a USB install with Secure Boot enabled. I was able to install bionic from USB, but it too fails to boot with the same error.
To be fair at this point, given that this does work elsewhere, I'm suspicious that this is possibly an issue with my server.
That said, I'd like to see this verified on that Cisco C240 system as an extra data point.

I presume so? dpkg says it is:
ubuntu@ xwing:/ boot/efi/ EFI/ubuntu$ dpkg -S grubx64.efi amd64-signed: /usr/lib/ grub/x86_ 64-efi- signed/ grubx64. efi.signed
grub-efi-
That's the only thing that provides the file (that I can tell).

That is what is installed on the node.
