Boot Setup Menu
Use this menu to configure settings related to the boot process and boot device priority.
• Boot Settings Configuration—Use this setting to access the Boot Settings Configuration
submenu. Refer to the Boot Settings Configuration Submenu section for more information.
• PXI Drive Boot—This setting specifies whether or not boot support is enabled for legacy
mass storage devices, such as SCSI drives. When enabled, legacy mass storage controllers
with boot support are displayed in the Boot Option Priorities menu. The default value is
Enabled.
• PXE Network Boot—This setting specifies whether or not the PXE network boot agent is
enabled. When enabled, the Intel Boot Agent is displayed in the Boot Option Priorities
menu, allowing you to boot from a PXE server on the local subnet. Note that the Intel Boot
Agent device names are preceded by IBA GE Slot in the Boot Option Priorities menu.
The system must be restarted for this setting to take effect. The default value is Disabled.
• Boot Option Priorities—These settings specify the order in which the BIOS checks for
bootable devices, including the local hard disk drive, removable devices such as USB flash
disk drives or USB CD-ROM drives, or the PXE network boot agent. The BIOS first
attempts to boot from the device associated with Boot Option #1, followed by Boot
Option #2, and Boot Option #3. If multiple boot devices are not present, the BIOS setup
utility does not display all of these configuration options. To select a boot device, press
<Enter> on the desired configuration option and select a boot device from the resulting
menu. You can also disable certain boot devices by selecting Disabled.
Note Only one device of a given type is shown in this list. If more than one device
of the same type exists, use the Device BBS Priorities submenus to re-order the
priority of devices of the same type.
