Chapter 5: Running Setup
5-5
The BIOS will attempt to read the boot record from 1st, 2nd, 3rd
and 4th boot device in the selected order until it is successful in
reading the booting record. The BIOS will not attempt to boot
from any device which is not selected as the boot device.
Try Other Boot Device
This option controls the action of the BIOS if all the selected boot
devices failed to boot. The settings for this option are Yes or No.
If Yes is selected and all the selected boot devices failed to boot,
the BIOS will try to boot from the other boot devices (in a pre-
defined sequence) which are present but not selected as boot
devices in the setup (and hence not yet been tried for booting). If
selected as No and all selected boot devices failed to boot, the
BIOS will try not to boot from the other boot devices which may be
present but not selected as boot devices in setup.
Initial Display Mode
This option determines the display screen with which the POST is
going to start the display. The settings for this option are BIOS or
Silent. If selected as BIOS, the POST will start with the normal
sign-on message screen. If Silent is selected, the POST will start
with the silent screen.
Display Mode at Add-on ROM Init
This option determines the display mode during add-on ROM
(except Video add-on ROM) initialization. The settings for this
option are Force BIOS or Keep Current. If selected as Force
BIOS, the POST will force the display to be changed to BIOS
mode before giving control to any add-on ROM. If no add-on ROM
is found, then the current display mode will remain unchanged
even if this setup question is selected as Force BIOS. If selected
as Keep Current, then the current display mode will remain
unchanged.
Floppy Access Control
The settings for this option are Read-Write or Read-Only.
Hard Disk Access Control
