HDD Priority Options

If more than one hard disk drive is installed in the computer, this option

allows you to set the priority associated with hard disk drive detection - the

first hard disk drive detected that has a valid boot command on it will be the

device from which the computer will start.

■

If a Supervisor Password has been set, manual boot device selection

functions may be restricted.

■

The boot device menu will appear when the “Able to run HW Setup”

option has been configured.

■

The boot device menu will not appear when the “Unable to run HW

Setup” option has been configured.

■

If both a Supervisor Password and a User Password are set, the

following should be noted:

■

The boot device menu will appear when you use either the

Supervisor Password or the User Password to start the computer,

and the “Able to run HW Setup” option has been configured.

■

The boot device menu will not appear when you use the User

Password to start the computer and the “Unable to run HW Setup”

option has been configured.

■

The boot device menu will appear when you use the Supervisor

Password to start the computer, even if the “Unable to run HW

Setup” option has been configured.

The boot device selection methods described above will not change the

boot priority settings that have been configured in HW Setup. In addition, if

you press a key other than one of those listed, or if the selected device is

not installed, the system will continue to boot according to the current and

available settings in HW Setup.
