Boot Sequence
Boot sequence enables you to bypass the System Setup–defined boot device order and boot directly to a specific device (for example:
optical drive or hard drive). During the Power-on Self-Test (POST), when the Dell logo appears, you can:
•
Access System Setup by pressing F2 key
•
Bring up the one-time boot menu by pressing F12 key.
The one-time boot menu displays the devices that you can boot from including the diagnostic option. The boot menu options are:
•
Removable Drive (if available)
•
STXXXX Drive
NOTE:
XXXX denotes the SATA drive number.
•
Optical Drive (if available)
•
SATA Hard Drive (if available)
•

Choosing Diagnostics, displays the ePSA diagnostics screen.
The boot sequence screen also displays the option to access the System Setup screen.
