Boot Priority Selection – [Device Based] or [Type Based]

Use these fields to set the boot priority, which determines the sequence the BIOS uses when checking for a boot device.

If [Device Based] boot priority is selected, you can select from the list of currently detected devices. The BIOS auto detects any devices that may be connected to the XTX 820 and baseboard assembly, and will list the devices found including the Mfg and model.

If [Type Based] boot priority is selected, you can select device types from a device list even if the respective device is not connected yet.

Boot Device Priority

Use these fields to set the boot priority, which determines the sequence the BIOS checks for a boot device. A BEV (Boot Entry Vector) device (Network or SCSI option-ROMs) can be used to boot the system.
