Boot Menu
Boot Sequence
The Boot menu allows you to select among the four possible types of boot devices
listed using the up and down arrow keys. By using the <+> or <Space> key, you can
promote devices and by using the <-> key, you can demote devices. Promotion or
demotion of devices alters the priority which the system uses to search for a boot
device on system power up. Configuration fields include Removable Devices, IDE
Hard Drive, ATAPI CD-ROM, and Other Boot Device.
Removable Device [Legacy Floppy]
Configuration options: [Disabled] [Legacy Floppy] [LS120] [ZIP-100] [ATAPI MO]
[USB FDD] [USB ZIP]
IDE Hard Drive
This field allows you to select which IDE hard disk drive to use in the boot se-
quence. Pressing [Enter] will show the product IDs of all connected IDE hard disk
drives.
ATAPI CD-ROM
This field allows you to select which ATAPI CD-ROM drive to use in the boot
sequence. Pressing [Enter] will show the product IDs of all your connected ATAPI
CD-ROM drives.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the ATAPI CD-ROM drive that you want to use in the
boot sequence is connected to either the PRIMARY or SECONDARY IDE con-
nectors, not to the ATA100 connectors. Currently, the Promise® Ultra DMA/100
chip does not support this feature.
