Intel Desktop Board DQ43AP Technical Product Specification 3.7 BIOS Recovery It is unlikely that anything will interrupt a BIOS update; however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. Table 31 lists the drives and media types that can and cannot be used for BIOS recovery. The BIOS recovery media does not need to be made bootable. Table 31. Acceptable Drives/Media Types for BIOS Recovery Media Type Can be used for BIOS recovery? CD-ROM drive connected to the Serial ATA interface Yes USB removable drive (a USB Flash Drive, for example) Yes USB diskette drive (with a 1.44 MB diskette) No USB hard disk drive No Legacy diskette drive (with a 1.44 MB diskette) connected to the No legacy diskette drive interface For information about BIOS recovery Refer to http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/ sb/CS-023360.htm 3.8 Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard drive, USB drive, USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD--ROM third. If enabled, the last default boot device is the network. 3.8.1 CD-ROM Boot Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CDROM is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot from the next defined drive. 3.8.2 Network Boot The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed. Pressing the key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To use this key during POST, the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup program's Security menu must be set to Full. 66
