Available settings for “1st/2nd/3rd Boot Device” vary depend- ing on the bootable devices you have installed. For example, if you did not install a floppy drive, the setting “Floppy” does not show up.

Try Other Boot Devices

Setting the option to Yes allows the system to try to boot from other devices if the system fails to boot from the 1st/2nd/3rd boot device.

S.M.A.R.T. for Hard Disks

This allows you to activate the S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring Analysis & Reporting Technology) capability for the hard disks. S.M.A.R.T is a utility that monitors your disk status to predict hard disk failure. This gives you an opportunity to move data from a hard disk that is going to fail to a safe place before the hard disk becomes offline. Settings: Enabled, Disabled.

Floppy Drive Seek
