Selecting Diskette Drive A: as the first device causes the system to boot from
drive A first. If the system finds a diskette that is not bootable in the drive or
finds a problem with the drive itself, it displays an error message. If it does not
find a diskette in the drive, the system tries to boot from the next device in the
boot sequence list.
Selecting Hard Disk Drive C:
causes the system to boot first from the hard-disk
drive and then from the next device in the boot sequence list.
Selecting IDE CD-ROM Reader causes the system to boot from the CD-ROM drive
first. If the system finds a CD that is not bootable in the drive or finds a problem
with the drive itself, it displays an error message. If it does not find a CD in the
drive, the system tries to boot from next device in the boot sequence list.
Selecting PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) causes the system to boot from
the integrated network interface controller (NIC) first. If a boot routine is not avail-

System Memory indicates the entire amount of installed memory detected in your
system, except for memory on Expanded Memory Specification (EMS) expansion
cards. After adding memory, check this option to confirm that the new memory is
installed correctly and is recognized by the system.

Reserved Memory allows you to designate a region of system board memory that
can be supplied by an expansion card. You should not enable the reserved memory
feature unless you are using an expansion card that requires special addressing.
For example, you may have a memory expansion card that needs to be addressed
starting at 15 MB. Selecting the 15MB-16MB
setting in the Reserved Memory option
specifies that the base memory from 15 MB to 16 MB comes from the memory
expansion card (the base memory below the 15-MB address comes from the dual in-
line memory modules [DIMMs] on the system board).
The Reserved Memory option has the following settings:
None Reserved (the default)
512KB-640KB
15MB-16MB
