Boot Menu

This screen displays the boot order of devices associated with the NI CVS-1459. The BIOS
proceeds down the Boot priority order list in search of a bootable device. Devices under the
Excluded from boot order list will not be used for booting. If the BIOS fails to find any
bootable device, an error message is displayed.
The Boot setup menu includes the following submenus:
• Boot Settings Configuration—Use this setting to access the Boot Settings Configuration
submenu.
• PXE Network Boot—This setting specifies whether or not the PXE network boot agent is
enabled. When this setting is enabled, the Intel Boot Agent is displayed in the Boot
Option Priorities menu, allowing you to boot from a PXE server on the local subnet.
Note that the Intel Boot Agent device names are preceded by IBA GE Slot in the Boot
Option Priorities menu. The system must be restarted for this setting to take effect. The
default value is Disabled.
• Boot Option Priorities—These setting specify the order in which the BIOS checks for
bootable devices, including the local hard disk drive, removable devices such as USB
flash disk drives or USB CD-ROM drives, or the PXE network boot agent. The BIOS
will first attempt to boot from the device associated with Boot Option #1, followed by
Boot Option #2 and Boot Option #3. If multiple boot devices are not present, the BIOS
setup utility will not display all of these configuration options. To select a boot device,
