2nd Boot : (BCV) [None]

This field allows you to select a Boot Connection Vector (BCV) device to boot from. BCV devices include SCSI controllers or SCSI cards, RAID cards, and other devices on add-on cards with option ROM that hooks INT 13 to BIOS.

Some SCSI RAID cards hook INT19 to BIOS. If you use these cards, you should enable INT 19 after installing the card. Otherwise, you cannot enter the RAID card BIOS.

The BCV devices present in the system will appear as options for this field. The field shows [None] if no BCV device is installed.

3rd Boot : (BEV) [<0> Intel Corporation]

This field allows you to select a Bootstrap Entry Vector (BCV) device to boot from. BEV devices include network controllers or cards. The BEV devices present in the system will appear as options for this field. For this motherboard, the following options are present onboard:

[<0> Intel Corporation IBA 4.0.22 Slo (LAN A)] [<1> Intel Corporation IBA 4.0.22 Slo (LAN B)]

4th Boot : (Legacy) [Disabled]

This field reserves the boot sequence selection only to legacy devices including FDD, HDD, CD-ROM, SCSI, and LAN. This mode does not allow booting from a boot device on an add-on card or controller. If you wish to assign a device as a 1st Boot device for a specific application, you must set that legacy device at the 1st Boot sequence.

For this motherboard, the following options are present onboard: [Disabled] [Floppy] [HDD] [CD-ROM] [LAN Option ROM] [SCSI]

Plug & Play O/S [No]

This field allows you to use a Plug-and-Play (PnP) operating system to configure the PCI bus slots instead of using the BIOS. When [Yes] is selected, interrupts may be reassigned by the OS. If you installed a non- PnP OS or if you want to prevent reassigning of interrupt settings, keep the default setting [No]. Configuration options: [No] [Yes]

Reset Configuration Data [No]

The Extended System Configuration Data (ESCD) contain information about non-PnP devices. It also holds the complete record of how the system was configured the last time it was booted. Select [Yes] if you want to clear these data during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). Configuration options: [No] [Yes]
