Boot
Sequence
Specifies the order in which the computer attempts to find an operating system from the devices specified in this list.
Onboard or USB Floppy
HDD(will show the model currently in system)
Onboard or USB CD-Rom Drive
USB Device
Drives
Diskette drive
This field determines how the BIOS configures floppy drives, Operating Systems with USB support will recognize USB Floppy drives regardless of
this setting:
Disable - All Floppy drive are disable
Enable - All floppy drive are enable.
The "USB Controller" Setup option will affect floppy operation.
SATA
Operation
configures the operating mode of the integrated hard drive controller.
RAID Autodetect / AHCI
= RAID if signed drives, otherwise AHCI
RAID Autodetect / ATA
= RAID if signed drives, otherwise ATA
RAID On / ATA
= SATA is configured for RAID on every boot
Legacy
= The hard drive controller is configured for legacy mode
Legacy
mode provides for compatibility with some older operating systems that do not support native resources assigned to the drive controller.
RAID Mode is incompatible with ImageServer. Please disable RAID mode if enabling Image Server.
