disable a device by selecting it and pressing the spacebar. To change the order in which devices are searched, use the <+>
and <–> keys.
Hard-Disk Drive Sequence Screen
The Hard-Disk Drive Sequence screen options determine the order in which the system searches the hard drives for the

change the order in which devices are searched, use the <+> and <–> keys. Press
NOTICE:
Although you can change the device search order in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence screen and select the
boot drive, Dell recommends that you do not change the default order in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence screen.

depending on the type of ROMB card installed in your system.
The ROMB card is set to RAID Enabled by default for RAID functionality. Do not disable RAID functionality.
NOTICE:
If you disable RAID functionality on your system, all data will be lost.
IDE CD-ROM Controller — Configures the integrated IDE controller. When set to Auto, each channel of the
integrated IDE controller is enabled if IDE devices are attached to the channel and no external IDE controller is
detected. Otherwise, the channel is disabled.
Diskette Controller — Enables or disables the system's diskette drive controller. When Auto (default) is selected, the
system turns off the controller when necessary to accommodate a controller card installed in an expansion slot. You
can also set up the drive to be read-only. Using the read-only setting, the drive cannot be used to write to a disk.

Embedded 10/100/1000 NIC — Enables or disables the system's integrated NIC. Options are Enabled without
PXE, Enabled with PXE, and Disabled. PXE support allows the system to boot from the network. Changes take
