Changing Internal Device Boot Priority

You can change the boot priority of the HP NetServer's internal mass storage
devices: the CD-ROM, the flexible disk drive (or other removable device), and
hard drives connected to the HP NetServer's internal SCSI ports. To do this:
1. Select "Boot Settings" from the Configuration menu, using the down-arrow
or up-arrow key, and press Enter.
A Boot Settings screen appears, very similar to the following one.
Floppy check:
Summary screen:
Quick Boot mode:
Boot Device Priority
Hard Drive Priority
2. Use the down-arrow key to move to the "Boot Device Priority" field.
3. Press Enter to change the order and a list appears very similar to the one
below:
1. [CD-ROM]
2. [Flexible Disk]
3. [Hard Drive]
4. [Network Boot]
The list provides the current boot order of the internal devices, including a
NIC connected to a network. If the [Hard Drive] selection is moved to the
top of the boot list, the hard drive selected in Steps 5-7 is used to boot the
system.
a. To change the order, use the up- and down-arrow keys to select one of
the devices.
b. Use the plus (+) or minus (-) keys to move a device up or down the list.
4. Press Esc to exit one level to the Boot Settings menu.
This moves you back one level to the Boot Settings list shown in Step 1
above.
5. To change the hard drive boot order, scroll to "Hard Drive Priority" and
press Enter.
