Boot Menu

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 device on system power up. Configuration
fields include Removable Devices, IDE Hard Drive, ATAPI CD-ROM, and Other Boot
Device.

Removable Device [Legacy Floppy]

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

IDE Hard Drive

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