1.  When BIOS detects a bootable device, information on the device is displayed in the designated area. 

2.  The boot priority (from first to forth) of the registered boot devices can be changed using the <

↑

>/<

↓

> 

and <+>/<

−

> keys. 

Move the cursor to a device using the <

↑

>/<

↓

> keys, and change the priority using the <+>/<

−

> keys. 

 

Note 

When SATA Hard Disk Drive is used in IDE mode, the default boot priority in Hard Drive 

BBS Priorities is set as follows. 

Hard Disk Drive Slot 0 

Hard Disk Drive Slot 2 

Hard Disk Drive Slot 1 

Hard Disk Drive Slot 3 

If the HDDs in Hard Disk Drive Slot 0 and Hard Disk Drive Slot 1 are switched, for example, 

the boot priority of HDD may change. If this happens, execute 

Load Setup Defaults

 in the 

Save & Exit 

menu, clear the settings of the boot priority to the default settings, and then 

configure the priority again.   

When SATA HDD is used in IDE mode, the boot priority of HDDs with  the same serial 

number cannot be changed. . 

 

Tips 

•

 

If a bootable device is newly connected, the priority lowest in its BBS Priorities is 

assigned to that device. 

•

 

If a bootable device is disconnected from the server, the relevant device is removed 

from BBS Priorities. 

•

 

When 

Load Setup Defaults

 is executed on 

Save & Exit

 menu, the 

Boot Option

 and 

BBS Priorities

 are changed as follows. 

 

Boot Option Priorities

 

 

Boot Option #1: CD/DVD ROM Drive

 

 

Boot Option #2: Floppy Drive

 

 

Boot Option #3: Hard Drive

 

 

Boot Option #4: Network Device

 

 

The priority of bootable devices in BBS Priorities are determined as follows: 

Devices other than USB device (e.g., SATA device, RAID): High 

USB device: Next to non-USB devices

 

 

If a bootable device has been set to 

Disabled

, cancel the Disabled status, and 

register the device in 

BBS Priorities

.

 

•

 

If a Remote Management Extended License (*1) is registered, the remote media is 

added to bootable devices. The remote media is assigned as follows:

 

 

The highest priority within "CD/DVD ROM Drive BBS Priorities" is assigned to 

AMI Remote CD/DVD device.

 

 

When executing Load Setup Defaults in Save & Exit menu, the highest priority 

within "CD/DVD ROM Drive BBS Priorities" is assigned to AMI Remote 

CD/DVD device.
