Changing the Startup Sequence
The computer can start up from most bootable media or devices.
A bootable medium or device contains files needed by the
computer to start up and operate properly.
When more than one bootable medium or device is in the system,
the computer selects the medium or device to start from by
searching sequenced locations. The default startup sequence for
this computer is first the diskette drive, second the hard drive,
third the CD in the Media Bay, and fourth the internal NIC in the
computer.
You can change the sequence in which the computer searches for
a startup medium or device by selecting the Boot Device menu in
the PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility (PSU). To run PSU, press
F10
during system startup.
