Boot Sequence

Boot Sequence allows you to bypass the System Setup–defined boot device
order and boot directly to a specific device (for example: optical drive or hard
drive). During the Power-on Self Test (POST), when the Dell logo appears. you
can:
• Access System Setup by pressing F2 key
• Bring up the one-time boot menu by pressing F12 key
The one-time boot menu displays the devices that you can boot from including
the diagnostic option. The boot menu options are:
• Removable Drive (if available)
• STXXXX Drive
NOTE: XXX denotes the SATA drive number.
• Optical Drive (if available)
• Diagnostics
NOTE: Choosing Diagnostics, will display the ePSA diagnostics
screen.
The boot sequence screen also displays the option to access the System Setup
screen.
