To change the date or time, first select the field you want to change with the cursor or the left and right arrows, then use the up and down arrows to change the contents of the field.

Click [OK] when you have finished changing the contents, or [Cancel] to save the previous contents and exit the window.

Boot Device Submenu

The Boot Device submenu of the Startup menu allows you to determine the order of devices in which your system will attempt to boot up.

Boot Device

Move between the three device windows using either the [Tab] button or the left and right arrow buttons. To change the selection within the device windows, use the up and down arrow buttons.

This submenu also allows you to enable or disable the PXE Boot option. PXE stands for Pre-boot Execution Environment, which allows a computer to be loaded and executed with a network program from a remote server before booting the OS on the local hard drive. This elim- inates the need to physically boot the computers with floppy disks, as would normally be done.

The PXE Boot option is disabled by default. To enable it, click on the field or tab to it and press the spacebar.

The Display Device submenu of the Startup menu allows you to select the device(s) you want to use when booting up the system.

Resolution below 800 x 600 will fill the screen, but due to the low resolution, may not be visually acceptable.
