The following table describes the parameters in this screen. Settings in boldface are the default and
suggested parameter settings
.
Setting the Boot Drive Sequence
The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4rd ) for bootable drives in your
computer.
For example, the default value (1st: Floppy Disk, 2nd: CD-ROM, 3rd: Hard Disk) tells the computer to first
search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive. If it finds one present, it boots up from that floppy disk. If
not, the computer continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. If it cannot boot up from
the CD-ROM drive, it continues by booting up from the hard disk.
To set the boot drive sequence, use the
w

y
keys to select a priority level (1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4rd), then use
the
z
/
x
keys to select the device for that priority level.
