Onboard Device Configuration

Setting the Boot Drive Sequence

The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd and 3rd) for bootable drives in your computer.

For example, the default value (1st:Hard Disk, 2nd:Floppy Disk, and 3rd:CD-ROM, DVD-ROM) tells the computer to first search for a hard disk. If it finds one present, it boots up from that hard disk. If not, the computer continues to search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive. If it cannot boot up from the floppy disk drive, it continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive or a bootable DVD-ROM in the DVD-ROM drive.

To set the boot drive sequence, use the cursor up/down (−↓) keys to select a priority level (1st, 2nd, or 3rd); then use the cursor left/right (→←) keys to select the device for that priority level.

The parameters in this screen are for advanced users only. You do not need to change the values in this screen because these values are already optimized.

The Onboard Devices Configuration sub-menu assigns resources to basic computer communication hardware.
