I/O addresses and boot devices.

• System Data Security feature parameters, such as
passwords.

Boot Menu

Boot Device Priority Submenu of the Boot Menu

The Boot Device Priority submenu is for setting the order of checking of sources for the operating system.

• Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.

• A bootable CD-ROM has either a floppy disk or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is

used, drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If floppy disk format is
used, the CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the
internal hard drive is not present or is disabled. A bootable CD-ROM cannot use a C: designation if a
formatted internal hard drive is present since the C: designator is always reserved for the internal hard
drive.The boot sequence ignores new drive designations, but your application software will use the new
designations.

• In order for a portable USB memory device (e.g., JumpDrive or memory stick) to be recognized in the
Boot Device Priority list, it must have been installed before booting the system.

• Note that some older portable USB memory devices may not be recognized as bootable devices.

• The Boot Menu can also be invoked outside of the Setup Utility using the TrustedCore menu or the [F12]

key. See Using the TrustedCore Menu for more information.

The boot selections determine the order in which the BIOS searches for the operating system
during a startup sequence. To change the order, highlight one source by using the [up] or
[down] cursor keys and then press the [+] or [-] key to change the order number. Tapping [x]
removes from the list a device that is not installed. Tapping [x] on an item in the Excluded list
adds the device to the Boot priority list. Be sure to save your changed order when you exit the
BIOS setup utility.

NOTE: Be aware that if you use the CD-ROM drive as the first boot device, certain files may
be overwritten, depending upon your operating environment.

Exiting from Boot Menu

When you have finished setting the boot parameters with the Boot menu, you can either exit from the setup utility or
move to another menu. If you wish to exit from the setup utility press the [Esc] key to go to the Exit menu. If you wish
to move to another menu, use the cursor keys.
