3. Use the left/right cursor keys to highlight the boot device you want and

press Enter.

HDD Priority Options

This option lets you set the priority for hard disk drive detection. If the first

detected hard drive has a boot command on it, the system will continue to

boot from that drive.

If only a Supervisor Password has been set, the following should be

noted:

The boot device menu will appear when you use the user password

to start the computer and the “Able to run HW Setup” option has

been configured.

The boot device menu will not appear when you use the user

password to start the computer and the “Unable to run HW Setup”

option has been configured.

If both a Supervisor Password and a User Password are set, the

following should be noted:

The boot device menu will appear when you use either the

Supervisor Password or the User Password to start the computer,

and the “Able to run HW Setup” option has been configured.

The boot device menu will not appear when you use the User

Password to start the computer and the “Unable to run HW Setup”

option has been configured.

The boot device menu will appear when you use the Supervisor

Password to start the computer, even if the “Unable to run HW

Setup” option has been configured.

The boot device selection methods described above will not change

the boot priority settings that have been configured in HW Setup. In

addition, if you press a key other than one of those listed, or if the

selected

device is not installed, the system will continue to boot according to the

current and available settings in HW Setup.

Built-in HDD1

The computer will detect and attempt to boot

from the second built-in hard disk drive.

If a boot command is not found on the first detected hard disk drive,

the system will not attempt to boot from the other hard drive, instead it

will search the next device in the boot priority for a boot command.

On models with one hard disk drive, this item will not be displayed.
