Boot Options menu
The Boot Options menu in the Setup Utility program provides an interface to help you view or change the server startup options, including the startup sequence and boot priority for various devices. Changes in the startup options take effect when the server starts.
The startup sequence specifies the order in which the server checks devices to find a boot record. The server starts from the first boot record that it finds. For example, you can define a startup sequence that checks a disc in the optical drive, then checks the hard disk drive, and then checks a network device. For information about setting the startup sequence or selecting a startup device, see “Selecting a startup device” on page 64.
Boot Manager menu
The Boot Manager menu in the Setup Utility program lists all the bootable devices installed in your server and the listed items vary depending on your server configuration. If you select a desired device listed on this menu, the server will start from the device you select.
You can press F12 when turning on the server and select a temporary startup device from the boot device selection window. See “Selecting a startup device” on page 64.
