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:

 

● EFI Boot Sources: Specify the order in which EFI boot sources (such as a internal hard

 

drive, USB hard drive, USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) 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.

 

EFI boot sources always have precedence over legacy boot sources.

 

● Legacy Boot Sources: Specify the order in which legacy boot sources (such as a network

 

interface card, internal hard drive, USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) 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: To drag a device to a preferred place, press Enter. To remove the device from

 

consideration as a bootable device, press F5.

 

You can use F5 to disable individual boot items, as well as disable EFI boot and/or legacy boot.

 

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 Esc (to access the boot menu) and then F9 (Boot Order), or only F9 (skipping

 

the boot menu) 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.
