46 Using the System Setup Program
Boot Sequence Determines the order of devices from which the system
attempts to boot during system startup. Available options can
include a diskette drive, CD drive, hard drives, and network.
NOTE: System boot is not supported from an external device
attached to a SAS adapter. See support.dell.com for the latest
support information about booting from external devices.
Hard-Disk Drive
Sequence
Determines the order in which the BIOS will attempt to boot
from hard drives in the system during system startup.
USB Flash Drive
Emulation Type
(
Auto
default)
Determines the emulation type for a USB flash drive. Hard
disk allows the USB flash drive to act as a hard drive. Floppy
allows the USB flash drive to act as a removable diskette drive.
Auto automatically chooses the appropriate emulation type
for the device, except for devices installed in the SD card slot.
A device installed in the SD card slot will automatically
emulate a hard drive. If you install a device in this slot that is
configured as a removable diskette drive, you must manually
set the emulation type to Floppy.
