To set the boot device order, press <Enter> to access the field's pop-up options menu. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to move through the list of devices. Press the spacebar to enable or disable a device (enabled devices appear with a check mark). Press <+> or <-> to move a selected device up and down the list. The following subsections detail typical choices.

Diskette Drive A:

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.

Hard-Disk Drive C:

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.

IDE CD-ROM Reader

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.

PXE

Selecting PXE (Preboot eXecution Environment) causes the system to boot from the integrated network interface controller (NIC) first. If a boot routine is not available from the network server, the system tries to boot from the next device in the boot sequence list.

System Memory

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

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

CPU Speed

CPU Speed indicates the processor speed at which your system boots.

Press the left- or right-arrow key to toggle the CPU Speed option between the resident processor's rated speed (the default setting) and a lower compatibility speed, which lets you accommodate speed-sensitive applications. A change to this option takes effect immediately (rebooting the system is not required).
