Specifications

The boot sequence, or boot order, tells the computer where to look to find the software needed to start the operating system. You can control the boot
sequence and enable/disable devices using the Boot Order page of the system setup program.
The Boot Order page displays a general list of the bootable devices that may be installed in your computer, including but not limited to the following:
l Diskette Drive
l Modular bay HDD
l Internal HDD
l Optical Drive
During the boot routine, the computer starts at the top of the list and scans each enabled device for the operating system start-up files. When the computer
finds the files, it stops searching and starts the operating system.
To control the boot devices, select (highlight) a device by pressing the down-arrow or up-arrow key, and then enable or disable the device or change its order
in the list.
l To enable or disable a device, highlight the item and press the space bar. Enabled items appear as white and display a number next to them; disabled
items appear blue or dimmed without a number.
l To reorder a device in the list, highlight the device and then press <u> or <d>(not case-sensitive) to move the highlighted device up or down.
Boot sequence changes take effect as soon as you save the changes and exit the system setup program.

Performing a One-Time Boot
You can set a one-time-only boot sequence without entering the system setup program. (You can also use this procedure to boot the Dell Diagnostics on the
diagnostics utility partition on your hard drive.)


2. Connect the computer to an electrical outlet.

If you wait too long and the Windows logo appears, continue to wait until you see the Windows desktop. Then shut down your computer and try again.

4. When the boot device list appears, highlight the device from which you want to boot and press <Enter>.
The computer boots to the selected device.
The next time you reboot the computer, the previous boot order is restored.
