when you start the computer.
The following menu items are available in the Start Options menu:
– Startup Sequence
The computer uses a startup sequence to determine the order in which the
computer checks devices to find a boot record. For example, you can define a
startup sequence that checks for a startable diskette in the diskette drive, then
checks the hard disk drive in bay 1, and then checks a network adapter.
You can also enable the computer to start from the network by enabling the
Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Boot Agent to customize the network
as the first startable device in the startup sequence.
To change the startup sequence of the computer, complete the following
steps:
1. From the Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Start Options and
press Enter.
2. Select Startup Sequence and press Enter.
3. Select the device that you want to be the first startable device using the
Left Arrow (←) and Right Arrow (→) keys. Then, select the devices that you
want to be the second startable device and the third startable device.
4. After customizing the startup order, press Esc until you return to the main
menu.
5. Select Save Settings and press Enter.
You can enable a virus-detection test that checks for changes in the master
boot record at startup.
