Boot Priority 
Selection

Device Based
Type Based

Select between device and type based boot pri-
ority lists. The “device based” boot priority list 
allows you to select from a list of currently 
detected devices only. The “type based” boot 
priority list allows you to select device types, 
even if a respective device is not yet present. 
Moreover, the “device based” boot priority list 
might change dynamically in cases when 
devices are physically removed or added to the 
system. The “type based” boot menu is static 
and can only be changed by the user.

control is selected. 
If “Type Based” 
priority list control 
is enabled only 8 
boot devices can 
be prioritized.)
