Intel® Server Board S1200V3RP BIOS Setup Interface 9.4.2.18 Boot Options Screen (Tab) The Boot Options screen displays all bootable media encountered during POST, and allows the user to configure the desired order in which boot devices are to be tried. To access this screen from the Main screen or other top-level "Tab" screen, press the right or left arrow keys to traverse the tabs at the top of the Setup screen until the Boot Options screen is selected. The first boot device in the specified Boot Order which is present and is bootable during POST will be used to boot the system, and will continue to be used to reboot the system until the boot device configuration has changed (that is, which boot devices are present), or until the system has been powered down and booted in a "cold" power-on boot. Note: USB devices can be "hotplugged" during POST, and will be detected and "beeped". They will be enumerated and displayed on the USB Configuration Setup screen. However, they may not be enumerated as bootable devices, depending on when in POST they were hotplugged. If they were recognized before the enumeration of bootable devices, they will appear as Boot Devices if appropriate. If they were recognized after Boot Device enumeration, they will not appear as a bootable device for the Boot Options screen, the Boot Manager screen, or the F6 Boot Menu. There are two main types of boot order control, Legacy Boot and EFI Optimized boot. These are mutually exclusive - when EFI Optimized Boot is enabled, Legacy Boot (the default) is disabled. Within Legacy Boot operation, there are two further methods of ordering boot devices, Dynamic Boot Order and Static Boot Order. The default for Boot Order control is Legacy Boot, with Dynamic Boot Order. If all types of bootable devices are installed in the system, then the default Boot Order is as follows: • CD/DVD-ROM • Floppy Disk Drive • Hard Disk Drive • PXE Network Device • BEV (Boot Entry Vector) Device • EFI Shell and EFI Boot paths In this default Boot Order, a USB device may appear in any of several Device Classes, due to the flexibility of USB connections and USB emulation of various types of devices. Note: A USB Key (USB Flash Drive) can be formatted to emulate either a Floppy Drive or a Hard Drive, and will appear in that Boot Device Class. However, although it can be formatted as a CDROM Drive, it will not be detected as such. It will be treated as a Hard Disk and will appear in the list of available Hard Drives. Revision 1.0 175

Boot Options Screen (Tab)
The Boot Options screen displays all bootable media encountered during POST, and allows the
user to configure the desired order in which boot devices are to be tried.
To access this screen from the Main screen or other top-level “Tab” screen, press the right or
left arrow keys to traverse the tabs at the top of the Setup screen until the Boot Options screen
is selected.
The first boot device in the specified Boot Order which is present and is bootable during POST
will be used to boot the system, and will continue to be used to reboot the system until the boot
device configuration has changed (that is, which boot devices are present), or until the system
has been powered down and booted in a “cold” power-on boot.
Note: USB devices can be “hotplugged” during POST, and will be detected and “beeped”. They
will be enumerated and displayed on the USB Configuration Setup screen. However, they may
not be enumerated as bootable devices, depending on when in POST they were hotplugged. If
they were recognized before the enumeration of bootable devices, they will appear as Boot
Devices if appropriate. If they were recognized after Boot Device enumeration, they will not
appear as a bootable device for the Boot Options screen, the Boot Manager screen, or the F6
Boot Menu.
There are two main types of boot order control, Legacy Boot and EFI Optimized boot. These are
mutually exclusive – when EFI Optimized Boot is enabled, Legacy Boot (the default) is disabled.
Within Legacy Boot operation, there are two further methods of ordering boot devices, Dynamic
Boot Order and Static Boot Order.
The default for Boot Order control is Legacy Boot, with Dynamic Boot Order. If all types of
bootable devices are installed in the system, then the default Boot Order is as follows:
CD/DVD-ROM
Floppy Disk Drive
Hard Disk Drive
PXE Network Device
BEV (Boot Entry Vector) Device
EFI Shell and EFI Boot paths
In this default Boot Order, a USB device may appear in any of several Device Classes, due to
the flexibility of USB connections and USB emulation of various types of devices.
Note: A USB Key (USB Flash Drive) can be formatted to emulate either a Floppy Drive or a
Hard Drive, and will appear in that Boot Device Class. However, although it can be formatted as
a CDROM Drive, it will not be detected as such. It will be treated as a Hard Disk and will appear
in the list of available Hard Drives.
