Changing the startup sequence

When your computer starts up, a configured list of startup (boot) devices

determines which devices and in what sequence they are checked. If your

computer does not startup (boot) from the expected device, the Startup Device

menu or the IBM Setup Utility can be used to select which device is checked

first in the sequence.

If you need to change the first startup device and there is no F12 prompt and

no Startup Device menu, use the IBM Setup Utility

.See“Using the IBM Setup

Utility” on page 16.

Using the Startup Device menu

Some computers have a Startup Device menu from which you can choose the

startup device. To use the Startup Device menu, do the following:

1. Turn off your computer.

2. When you turn on the computer, press and hold the F12 key until the

Startup Device menu is displayed.

Note: If the Startup Device menu is not displayed, your startup device

must be changed using the IBM Setup Utility. See “Using the IBM

Setup Utility” on page 16.
