Setting the Boot Options
When you select Boot Options from the Main Menu, you
see the Boot Options screen, which allows you to define the
drive boot sequence and determine which power-on diagnostic
tests the computer performs when you start your system.
The Boot sequence option determines the order in which
the computer checks the drives for an operating system when
you turn it on or reset it. The table below describes the
available options.
Boot sequence option settings
Select
To
A: then C: *
Load operating system from drive A. If it isn’t
there, load it from drive C (recommended
setting).
C: then A:
Load operating system from drive C. If it isn’t
there, load it from drive A.
C: only
Load operating system from drive C.
* Default setting
If you set the Boot sequence option to C: only, you
should disable the Floppy check option (described below)
so the system doesn’t access the diskette drive during the
startup procedure. Disabling this option decreases the time
needed to start the system.
The Floppy check option allows you to speed up the boot
process by disabling power-on diagnostic checking of the
diskette drive type. The default setting for this option is
Enabled; however you should select Disabled if you set
the Boot sequence option (described above) to C: only.
