during system startup. Available options can include the USB diskette

NOTE:
A USB device will be displayed in the boot order screen only if it is
attached to the system before the system enters BIOS.

Sequence Determines the order in which the system searches the hard drives during
system startup. The selections depend on the hard drives installed in your
system.
