Computer Setup-Security

DPS Self-Test	Allows you to execute self-tests on ATA hard drives capable of performing the Drive Protection
	System (DPS) self-tests.
	NOTE: This selection will only appear when at least one drive capable of performing the DPS self-
	tests is attached to the system.

Boot Order	Allows you to:
	● Specify the order in which attached devices (such as a USB flash media device, diskette drive,
	hard drive, optical drive, or network interface card) are checked for a bootable operating system
	image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for consideration
	as a bootable operating system source.
	● Specify the order of attached hard drives. The first hard drive in the order will have priority in
	the boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C (if any devices are attached).
	NOTE: MS-DOS drive lettering assignments may not apply after a non-MS-DOS operating system
	has started.
	Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order
	To boot one time from a device other than the default device specified in Boot Order, restart the
	computer and press F9 when the monitor light turns green. After POST is completed, a list of bootable
	devices is displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the preferred bootable device and press Enter.
	The computer then boots from the selected non-default device for this one time.
