2-24

2.7.1

Boot Sequence

This parameter allows you to specify the boot search sequence during POST.

•

1

st

.

The system checks this drive first.

•

2

nd

. The system then checks this drive if it can not boot from the

1

st

specified drive.

•

3

rd

. If the 1

st

and 2

nd

searches fail then it boots from this drive.

BIOS will display an error message if the drive(s) specified is not bootable.

2.7.2

First Hard Disk Drive

This parameter specifies whether the BIOS utility will boot from an EIDE hard disk
drive or a SCSI hard disk drive. The system will automatically boot from an EIDE
hard disk if your system does not have a SCSI hard disk drive. The default setting
is SCSI.

2.7.3

Fast Boot

This parameter allows the system to boot faster by skipping some POST routines.
The default setting is Disabled

.

2.7.4

Silent Boot

This parameter enables or disables the Silent Boot function. When set to Enabled,
BIOS is in graphical mode and displays only an identification logo during POST
and while booting. After booting the screen displays the operating system prompt
(such as DOS) or logo (such as Windows 95). If any error occurs while booting, the
system automatically switches to the text mode.

Even if your setting is Enabled, you may also switch to the text mode while
booting by pressing when you see the “Ctrl-Alt-Esc key to enter setup” message
on the screen.

When set to Disabled, BIOS is in the conventional text mode where you see the
system initialization details on the screen. The default setting is Disabled.
