NOTE The default Boot order is, A, C, CD-ROM, and the BIOS will start its search for a
bootable device in drive A, then C, then CD-ROM. If no bootable device is found, the
screen will display “No Bootable Device Available” and the boot process will stop,
allowing you to select from: R – for Reboot, or S – for Setup.
If you do not choose R or S, the boot process stops, until you intervene.
The Alarm or Reboot options can be used as the last boot order option, in cases where
the BIOS can't boot from any of the selected drives. The Alarm option sounds beeps on
the speaker.
•Drive and Boot Options
♦Floppy over Parallel – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
•If [Enabled], this option selects the Floppy Drive instead of the Parallel port on the shared
connector.
•If [Disabled], this option selects the Parallel port instead of the Floppy Drive on the shared
connector.
♦Floppy Swap – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦Floppy Seek – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦Hard disk Seek – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦Boot Method – [Boot Sector] or [Windows CE]
♦CompactFlash ATA mode – [LBA], [Physical], or [Phoenix]
This option allows you to select between the existing formats used to format your
CompactFlash card.
NOTE This feature allows you to use any one of the three common formats
available for CompactFlash cards without having to re-format the
CompactFlash card before you can use it on the CoreModule 420. The
LBA (Logical Block Address) is set as the default format because it can
handle larger drives and is the newest format available, but may not be
the one used to format your CompactFlash card. The other common
formats that may be encountered are the Physical or Phoenix formats.
