Dell SC1430 System Setup Program Options Description CPU Information, Sata Port, Boot Sequence

Table 2-2. System Setup Program Options (continued)

Option	Description
CPU Information	Displays information related to microprocessors (speed, cache size, and so on).
	Enable or disable Hyper-Threading technology, if supported, by changing the
	setting of the Logical Processor option. See Table 2-3.
SATA Port X	Displays type and capacity of SATA drive attached to Port X on the system board.
Boot Sequence	Determines the order in which the system searches for boot devices during system
	startup. Available options can include the diskette drive, CD drive, hard drives, and
	network. Only the first IDE device found will be available in the boot sequence.

Hard-Disk Drive Sequence Specifies the order in which hard drives are configured in the system. The first hard drive in the system will be the bootable C: drive in DOS/DOS-like operating systems.

Hard-Disk Failover	When this field is set to On and the first hard drive is not available, the system
(Off default)	attempts to boot from the other hard drives in the order specified in Hard-Disk
	Drive Sequence before searching for the next device in Boot Sequence. This
	feature may be used to boot to a mirrored drive in a software RAID 1 configuration.
USB Flash Drive Type	Determines the emulation type for a USB flash drive. Hard disk allows the USB
(Auto default)	flash drive to act as a hard drive. Floppy allows the USB flash drive to act as a
	removal diskette drive. Auto automatically chooses an emulation type.
Integrated Devices	See "Integrated Devices Screen" on page 32.
PCI IRQ Assignment	Displays a screen to change the IRQ assigned to each of the integrated devices on
	the PCI bus, and any installed expansion cards that require an IRQ.
System Security	Displays a screen to configure the system password and setup password features,
	AC power recovery, and chassis intrusion detection. See Table 2-5. See "Using the
	System Password" on page 36 and "Using the Setup Password" on page 38 for more
	information.
System Event Log	Select to view or clear the System Event Log (SEL). See "System Event Log" on
	page 34.
Keyboard NumLock	Determines whether your system starts up with the NumLock mode activated on
(On default)	101- or 102-key keyboards (does not apply to 84-key keyboards).
Report Keyboard Errors	Enables or disables reporting of keyboard errors during the POST. Select Report for
(Report default)	host systems that have keyboards attached. Select Do Not Report to suppress all
	error messages relating to the keyboard or keyboard controller during POST. This
	setting does not affect the operation of the keyboard itself if a keyboard is attached
	to the system.
