6.6.1

CD-ROM and Network Boot

Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, USB CD-ROM is listed as a boot device
(removable media). Boot devices are defined in priority order.

Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot
from the next defined drive.

The base network can be selected as a boot device. User may check/modify enable/disable
selection of PXE network boot in the BIOS Setup Menu.

6.6.2

Booting Without Attached Devices

For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing the POST,
the operating system loader is invoked even if the keyboard and mouse are not present.

Boot Option Configuration via IPMI

The ATCA-7350 supports remote configuration of the BIOS boot options via IPMI Set/Get
