This option controls the action of the BIOS if all the selected boot devices
failed to boot. The settings for this option are Yes or No . If Yes is selected

the other boot devices (in a predefined sequence) which are present but not
selected as boot devices in the setup (and hence not yet been tried for
booting). If selected as No and all selected boot devices failed to boot, the
BIOS will try not to boot from the other boot devices which may be present

S.M.A.R.T. for Hard Disks
S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) is a
technology developed to manage the reliability of the hard disk by predicting
future device failures. The hard disk needs to be S.M.A.R.T. capable. The
settings for this option are Disabled or Enabled . * Note: S.M.A.R.T. cannot
predict all future device failures. S.M.A.R.T. should be used as a
warning tool, not as a tool to predict the device reliability .
