3.7 Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard
drives, CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the
first boot device, the hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD-ROM third. The fourth
device is disabled.
3.7.1 CD-ROM Boot
Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM
format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CD-ROM
is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. Accordingly, if
there is not a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot from
the next defined drive.
3.7.2 Network Boot
The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the
onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.
Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To
use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security
menu must be set to Full.
