Boot Menu

The Boot menu sets the sequence of the devices to be searched for the operating system.

Boot Sequence

Sets the first, second, third, and fourth boot device. The system will try to boot from the first device but if it is not available, will try the next boot device. If you set the first boot device to LAN Boot, the system will boot from the LAN server first. The options are Hard Disk Drive, CD-ROM Drive, Floppy Disk Drive, and LAN Boot.

NOTE: If you set all booting options to the same device, then the computer will try to boot from that device only.
