Boot Order
Allows you to:
• Specify the order in which attached
devices (such as a USB flash media
device, diskette drive, hard drive, optical
drive, or network interface card) are
checked for a bootable operating system
image. Each device on the list may be
individually excluded from or included for
consideration as a bootable operating
system source.
• Specify the order of attached hard drives.
The first hard drive in the order will have
priority in the boot sequence and will be
recognized as drive C (if any devices are
attached).
✎
MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may
not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating
system has started.

default device specified in Boot Order, restart
the computer and press F9 when the monitor
light turns green. After POST is completed, a
list of bootable devices is displayed. Use the
arrow keys to select the preferred bootable
device and press Enter. The computer then
boots from the selected non-default device for
this one time.
