Setting the Boot Drive Sequence The Boot Drive Sequence section lists boot priorities (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th) for bootable drives in your computer. For example, the default value (1st:Floppy Disk, 2nd:Hard Disk, and 3rd: CD-ROM, 4th: Realtek PXE2.0 Boot Agent) tells the computer to first search for a bootable floppy disk in the floppy drive. If it finds one present, it boots up from that floppy disk. If not, the computer continues to search for a bootable CD-ROM in the CDROM drive. If it cannot boot up from the CD-ROM drive, it continues by booting up from the hard disk and etc... To set the boot drive sequence, use the w / y keys to select a priority level (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th), then use the z / x keys to select the device for that priority level. NOTE: When Boot on LAN is set Enabled, then the 4th option: Realtek PXE2.0 Boot Agent shows in the list. Chapter 2 39
