3.To save your preferences and exit Computer Setup, use the arrow keys to select File > Save changes and exit. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

Your preferences go into effect when the computer restarts.

Considering boot order changes

Before changing the boot order, note the following considerations:

●When the computer restarts after the boot order has been changed, the computer attempts to start using the new boot order.

●If there is more than one type of boot device, the computer attempts to boot using the first of each type of boot device (except for optical devices).

●Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive designations.

●The computer will boot from a NIC device only if the device has been enabled in the Built-In Device Options menu of Computer Setup and if booting from the device has been enabled in the Boot Options menu of Computer Setup. Booting from a NIC does not affect logical drive designations because no drive letter is associated with the NIC.

●Drives in an optional docking device (select models only) are treated like external USB devices in the boot order.

Choosing MultiBoot preferences

You can use MultiBoot in the following ways:

●To set a new boot order that the computer uses each time it is turned on by changing the boot order in Computer Setup.

●To dynamically choose the boot device, press f9 while the “F9 Press ESC for Startup Menu” message is displayed in the lower-middle corner of the screen when the computer starts up. You can also press the Escape key when the “Press ESC for Startup Menu” message displays and then press f9.

●To use MultiBoot Express to set variable boot orders. This feature prompts you for a boot device each time the computer is turned on or restarted.
