Boot Settings Screen

Option	Description
Boot Mode	CAUTION: Switching the boot mode could prevent
(BIOS default)	the system from booting if the operating system was
	not installed in the same boot mode.
	If the system operating system supports Unified
	Extensible Firmware Interface, you can set this option to
	UEFI. Setting this field to BIOS allows compatibility
	with non-UEFI operating systems.
	NOTE: Setting this field to UEFI disables the Boot
	Sequence, Hard-Disk Drive Sequence, and USB Flash Drive
	Emulation Type fields.
Boot Sequence	If Boot Mode is set to BIOS, this field tells the system
	where the operating system files needed for startup are
	located. If Boot Mode is set to UEFI, you can access the
	UEFI boot manager utility by rebooting the system and
	pressing F11 when prompted to do so.
Hard-Disk Drive	Determines the order in which the BIOS will attempt to
Sequence	boot from hard drives in the system during system
	startup.
USB Flash Drive	Determines the emulation type for a USB flash drive.
Emulation Type	Hard disk allows the USB flash drive to act as a hard
(Auto default)	drive. Floppy allows the USB flash drive to act as a
	removable diskette drive. Auto automatically chooses an
	emulation type.
	Auto automatically chooses the appropriate emulation
	type for the device, except for devices installed in the
	Internal SD Card slot. A device installed in the Internal
	SD Card slot will automatically emulate a hard drive. If
	you install a device in this slot that is configured as a
	removable diskette drive, you must manually set the
	emulation type to Floppy.
Boot Sequence Retry	If this field is enabled and the system has failed to boot,
(Disabled default)	the system will reattempt to boot after 30 seconds.
