Boot Menu
Boot Sequence
The Boot menu allows you to select among the four possible types of boot devices listed using the up
and down arrow keys. By using the <+> or <Space> key, you can promote devices and by using the <->
key, you can demote devices. Promotion or demotion of devices alters the priority which the system uses
to search for a boot device on system power up. Configuration fields include Removable Devices, IDE
Hard Drive, ATAPI CD-ROM, and Other Boot Device.
Removable Device [Legacy Floppy]
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Legacy Floppy] [LS-120] [ZIP] [ATAPI MO]
[USB FDD] [USB ZIP]
IDE Hard Drive
This field allows you to select which IDE hard disk drive to use in the boot
sequence. Pressing [Enter] will show the product IDs of all connected IDE HDDs.
ATAPI CD-ROM
This field allows you to select which ATAPI CD-ROM drive to use in the boot
sequence. Pressing [Enter] will show the product IDs of all your connected ATAPI
CD-ROM drives.
Other Boot Device Select [INT18 Device (Network)]
Configuration options: [Disabled] [SCSI Boot Device] [INT18 Device (Network)]
Plug & Play O/S [No]
This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) to configure the PCI bus slots
instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected, interrupts may be reassigned
by the OS. If you installed a non-PnP OS or if you want to prevent reassigning of
interrupt settings, keep the default setting [No]. Configuration options: [No] [Yes]
Boot Virus Detection [Enabled]
This field allows you to set boot virus detection, ensuring a virus-free boot sector.
The system halts and displays a warning message when it detects a virus. If this
occurs, you can either allow the operation to continue or use a virus-free bootable
floppy disk to restart your system. Configuration options: [Disabled] [Enabled]
