Startup Configuration
The Startup Configuration screen contains parameters that are related to
computer startup.
The following table describes the parameters in this screen. Settings in
boldface are the default and suggested parameter settings.
Parameter Description
Boot Display Sets the display on boot-up.
When set to Auto, the computer automatically
determines the display device. If an external
display device (e.g., monitor) is connected, it
becomes the boot display; otherwise, the computer
LCD is the boot display. When set to Both, the
computer outputs to both the computer LCD and an
external display device if one is connected.

that the computer will attempt to boot from). For

attempts to boot from the floppy drive. If no
bootable floppy disk is in drive A, the computer
boots from the hard disk.
Options: Drive A Then C, Drive A, Drive C, Drive C
