Changing the boot order

You may have to change the boot order if you want to boot from a USB key or an optical drive. The
following instructions may vary if you have selected BIOS for Boot Mode.
1. On the System Setup Main Menu screen, click System BIOS → Boot Settings.
2. Click Boot Option Settings → Boot Sequence.

Choosing the system boot mode

System Setup enables you to specify one of the following boot modes for installing your operating
system:
• BIOS boot mode (the default) is the standard BIOS-level boot interface.
• Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot mode is an enhanced 64-bit boot interface. If you
have configured your system to boot to UEFI mode, it replaces the system BIOS.
