The following table describes the parameters in this screen. Settings in boldface are the default and
suggested parameter settings.
Setting the Boot Drive Sequence
The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th) for bootable drives in your
computer.
For example, the default value (1st:Floppy Disk, 2nd:CD-ROM, 3rd:Hard Disk and 4th: Realtek PXE2.0 Boot
Agent) tells the computer to first search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive. If it finds one present, it
boots up from that floppy disk. If not, the computer continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-
ROM drive. If it cannot boot up from the CD-ROM drive, it continues by booting up from the hard disk and etc...
