Description
Allows you to specify the order in which
attached peripheral devices (such as a diskette
drive, hard drive, optical drive, or network
interface card) are checked for a bootable
operating system image. Each device on the
list may be individually excluded from or
included for consideration as a bootable
operating system source.

Boot Order
To boot one time from a device other than
the default device specified in Boot Order,
restart the computer and press F9 when the
"F10 = Setup" message appears on the
screen. After POST is completed, a list of
bootable devices is displayed. Use the
arrow keys to select the preferred bootable
device and press the Enter key. The computer
then boots from the selected non-default device
for this one time.
Allows you to set and enable setup
(administrator) password.

If the setup password is set, it is required
to change Computer Setup options, flash
the ROM, and make changes to certain
plug and play settings under Windows.
