Boot

When the workstation is turned on, entries in the Boot Menu determine the order in
which the BIOS searches for an Operating System (OS).
The boot sequence is displayed as a series of major headings, an example of this is
shown below. Each of the four fields are listed below with a brief explanation of the
devices you may find. If a [+] appears to the left of a heading, it indicates multiple
devices are included.
[+Removable Devices] - (TEAC USB Floppy Disk Drive)
[+Hard Drive] - (System Hard Disk, Optional Disk On Chip)
[ATAPI CD-ROM Drive]
[MBA UNDI (Bus1 Slot0)] - (LAN Boot Selection)
When searching for a bootable device, the BIOS works from top to bottom, checking
multiple devices under each heading if available, bypassing devices if they are not
installed. The default boot order is shown above.
You can promote devices, or move them higher in the sequence by scrolling to the
heading and pressing [Shift]-[+]. For example, if your workstation is diskless, you can
scroll to the [MBA UNDI (Bus1 Slot0)] heading and press the [Shift]-[+] key
combination three times to promote this heading to the top of the boot list.
[MBA UNDI (Bus1 Slot0)]
[+Removable Devices]
[+Hard Drive]
[ATAPI CD-ROM Drive]
You can demote a heading by scrolling to it and pressing [-].
However, we recommend that you leave the default settings as provided, with the
removable drive first in the list. If the USB Floppy is not attached, it takes the BIOS
very little time to determine this and move on to the next device in the list. This allows
you to install a USB floppy at any time and use it to boot the workstation without
having to alter the boot sequence.
