Boot Sequence
Boot Sequence allows you to bypass the System Setup–defined boot device order and boot directly to a specific device (for example:

•
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:
XXX denotes the SATA drive number.
•
Optical Drive (if available)
•
SATA Hard Drive (if available)
•
Diagnostics

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