Boot Setup Menu
This screen displays the boot order of devices associated with the
controller. The BIOS proceeds down the Boot priority order list in search
of a bootable device. Devices under the Excluded from boot order list
will not be used for booting. If the BIOS fails to find any bootable device,
the message
Operating System Not Found is displayed, and the
system halts.
IDE HDD—The internal hard drive.
USB KEY—A USB based flash disk drive.
USB HDD—A USB based hard disk drive.
USB CDROM—A USB CD/DVD-ROM drive.
USB FDC—A USB based floppy disk drive.
PCI SCSI—A SCSI drive (hard disk drive or USB CD/DVD-ROM)
connected through a SCSI controller in the PXI chassis.
PCI LAN—A PXE Network boot device, if PXE Network Boot is
enabled on the Advanced menu.
Exiting BIOS Setup
The Exit setup menu includes all available options for exiting, saving, and
loading the BIOS default configuration. As an alternative to this screen,
press <F9> to load BIOS default settings and <F10> to save changes and
exit setup.
The Exit setup menu includes the following settings:
Exit Saving Changes—Any changes made to BIOS settings are stored
in the battery-backed System CMOS. The setup program then exits
and reboots the controller.
Exit Discarding Changes—Any changes made to BIOS settings
during this session of the BIOS setup program are discarded. The setup
program then exits and boots the controller without rebooting first.
Load Setup Defaults—This setting restores all BIOS settings to the
factory default. This is useful if the controller exhibits unpredictable
behavior due to an incorrect or inappropriate BIOS setting. Notice
that any nondefault settings such as boot order, passwords, and
keyboardless operation are restored to their factory defaults. This may
produce undesirable behavior, and in heavily customized cases, may
cause the controller to malfunction or fail to boot.
