Setting the Boot Drive Sequence
The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) for bootable drives in your
computer.
For example, the default value (1st:Floppy Disk, 2nd:Hard Disk, and 3rd: CD-ROM, 4th: Realtek PXE2.0 Boot
Agent) tells the computer to first search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive. If it finds one present, it
boots up from that floppy disk. If not, the computer continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-
ROM drive. If it cannot boot up from the CD-ROM drive, it continues by booting up from the hard disk and etc...
To set the boot drive sequence, use the

the
