The information in this section contains instructions for changing the startup sequence.

The startup sequence

Your computer can be started from several devices including the hard disk drive, diskette drive, and CD drive or DVD drive, or from the network. The startup program looks for these devices in a specified sequence and starts the computer from the first device in the sequence that contains startable media or code. You can specify a different startup sequence for when your computer is turned on from the power button than for when it is turned on automatically, such as over a network or by a timer.

When you turn on your computer, you are prompted to press F12 to change the startup sequence temporarily for the current startup. No permanent changes are made to the computer configuration.
