For example, assume that the default boot order is preserved and that seven boot devices of the following types are installed on the system: two removable devices, two hard drives, two ATAPI CD-ROMs, and an Intel UNDI (Universal Network Device Interface), PXE device. Both removable devices would appear as the first and second boot devices, the two hard drives would appear as the third and fourth, the two ATAPI CD-ROM drives would appear as the fifth and sixth, and the Intel UNDI, PXE device would appear as the seventh boot device. Notes: 1. After the predefined boot device types (removable devices, hard drives, and ATAPI CD-ROM drives), the entries in this list will reflect as many boot entry vector (BEV) boot devices (for example, Intel UNDI, PXE devices) and SCSI CD-ROM drives as are installed, up to the five BEV boot devices supported by the BIOS. 2.

Specifies the boot sequence from the available types of
boot devices.
To specify boot sequence:
1.
Select the boot device with <
> or <
>.
2.
Press <Enter> to set the selection as the intended
boot device.
The operating system assigns a drive letter to each boot
device in the order listed.
Changing the order of the
devices changes the drive lettering.
The default settings
for the first through final boot devices are, respectively,
listed below.
The BIOS supports up to sixteen total boot
devices in any combination of the boot device types
below, with respect to these maximums per type.
Removable Dev. (maximum of four)
Hard Drive (maximum of twelve)
ATAPI CD-ROM (maximum of four)

The boot devices appear in order by type.
For example,
assume that the default boot order is preserved and that
seven boot devices of the following types are installed on
the system:
two removable devices, two hard drives, two
ATAPI CD-ROMs, and an Intel UNDI (Universal Network
Device Interface), PXE device.
Both removable devices
would appear as the first and second boot devices, the
two hard drives would appear as the third and fourth, the
two ATAPI CD-ROM drives would appear as the fifth and
sixth, and the Intel UNDI, PXE device would appear as
the seventh boot device.
Notes:
1.
After the predefined boot device types (removable devices, hard drives, and ATAPI CD-ROM drives), the entries in this
list will reflect as many boot entry vector (BEV) boot devices (for example, Intel UNDI, PXE devices) and SCSI
CD-ROM drives as are installed, up to the five BEV boot devices supported by the BIOS.
