MultiBoot

MultiBoot 1–1
1
Default boot device order
As the computer starts, the system attempts to boot from enabled
boot devices. The MultiBoot utility, which is enabled by
default,
controls the order in which the system selects a boot device. Boot
devices can include optical drives, diskette drives, a network
interface card (NIC), hard drives, or USB devices. Boot devices
contain bootable media or files that the computer needs to start
and operate properly.
✎
Some boot devices must be enabled in Computer Setup before
they can be included in
the boot order. For more information,
refer to “Enabling boot devices in Computer Setup.”
By default, when more than one boot device is installed in the
system, the computer selects the boot device by searching
enabled boot devices and drive bay locations in a predetermined
order. By default, the boot order is
■ MultiBay (select models only) or optical drive
■ USB CD-ROM
■ USB diskette drive
■ internal hard drive
■ USB hard drive
■ network controller
