It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the
BIOS could be damaged. Table 22 lists the drives and media types that can and cannot be used
for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need to be made bootable.

3.7 Boot Options
In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a hard drive, optical drive,
removable drive, or the network. The default setting is for the optical drive to be the first boot
device, the hard drive second, removable drive third, and the network fourth.
NOTE
Optical drives are not supported by the onboard SATA connectors. Optical drives are supported
only via the USB interfaces.
3.7.1 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.
