NOTE The default Boot order is, A, C, CD-ROM, and the BIOS will start its search for a
bootable device in drive A, then C, then CD-ROM. If no bootable device is found, the
screen will display “No Bootable Device Available” and the boot process will stop,
allowing you to select from: R – for Reboot, or S – for Setup.
If you do not choose R or S, the boot process stops, until you intervene.
The Alarm or Reboot options can be used as the last boot order option, in cases where
the BIOS can't boot from any of the selected drives. The Alarm option sounds beeps on
the speaker.

∗ If [Disabled], this option selects the Parallel port instead of the Floppy Drive on the shared
connector.
♦ Floppy Swap – [Disabled] or [Enabled]
♦ Floppy Seek – [Disabled] or [Enabled]

♦ Compact Flash ATA mode – [LBA], [Physical], or [Phoenix]
This option allows you to select between the existing geometries when configuring the file
system on your compact flash card.
NOTE Always partition and format the compact flash card while attached to
the CoreModule 420. This feature allows you to use any one of the
three common geometries available for compact flash cards when
configuring the file system on compact flash card while attached to the
CoreModule 420. The LBA (Logical Block Address) is set as the
default method because it can handle larger drives and is the newest
method available. The other common methods that may be
encountered are the Physical (below 512 MB) or Phoenix (physical
above 512 MB).
