NOTE: This feature applies only to legacy diskette, (IDE/ATA) LS-120 Superdisk, (IDE/ATA)
LS-240 Superdisk, and (IDE/ATA) PD-optical drives.
NOTE: After saving changes to Removable Media Boot, the workstation will restart. Manually,
turn the workstation off, then on.
BIOS DMA Data Transfers
Allows you to enable or disable the BIOS use of DMA for IDE data transfers.
IDE Controller

controller.
SATA Primary Controller
Allows you to disable the SATA primary controller ports.
SATA Secondary Controller
Allows you to disable the SATA secondary controller ports.
Diskette MBR Validation
Allows you to enable or disable strict validation of the diskette MBR.
NOTE: If you use a bootable diskette image that you know to be valid, and it does not boot with
Diskette MBR Validation enabled, you might need to disable this option to use the diskette.
Allows you to execute self-tests on IDE hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection
System (DPS) self-tests.
NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the IDE
DPS self-tests is attached to the system.
Allows you to specify the order of the attached hard drive controllers. The first hard drive
controller in the order will have priority in the boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C
(if any devices are attached).
NOTE: The selection will not appear if all hard drives are attached to the embedded IDE
controllers.
Allows you to configure the boot, diskette drive, and hard drive orders by physically reordering
the menu entries. Each device on the list can be individually excluded from or included for
consideration as a bootable operating system source.
NOTE: MS-DOS drive lettering assignments might not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating
system has started.
Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order
To boot one time from a device other than the default device specified in Boot Order, restart
the workstation and press F9 when the F10=Setup message appears on the screen. After
POST is completed, a list of bootable devices is displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the
preferred bootable device and press Enter. The workstation then boots from the selected non-
default device for this one time.
