Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format
specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CD-ROM is listed as a
boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. If the CD-ROM is selected as the boot
device, it must be the first device.
The network (Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 environment) can be selected as a boot device. This selection
allows booting from an Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 through the LAN connector with a remote boot ROM
installed.
