Chapter 2: BIOS Information

Boot Sequence

The Boot menu allows you to select four types of boot devices using the up and down
arrow keys. By using the <+> or key, you can promote devices and by using
the <-> key, you can demote devices. Promotion or demotion of devices alters the
priority which the system uses to boot the system. Configuration fields include
Removable Devices, IDE Hard Drive, ATAPI CD-ROM & Other Boot Device.

Removable Device [Legacy Floppy]

Configuration options: [Disabled] [Legacy Floppy] [LS-120] [ZIP] [ATAPIMO]
[USB FDD] [USB ZIP]

IDE Hard Drive

This field allows you to select which IDE hard disk drive to use in the boot
sequence. Pressing [Enter] shows the product IDs of all connected IDE drives.

ATAPI CD-ROM

This field allows you to select which ATAPI CD-ROM drive to use in the boot
sequence. Pressing [Enter] will show the product IDs of all your connected ATAPI
CD-ROM drives.

Other Boot Device [INT18 Device (Network)]

Configuration options: [Disabled] [SCSI Boot Device] [INT18 Device (Network)]

Plug & Play O/S [No]

This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to configure
the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected, interrupts may
be reassigned by the OS. If you installed a non-PnP OS or if you want to prevent
reassigning of interrupt settings, keep the default setting [No].
Configuration options: [No] [Yes]
