In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard 
drive, USB drive, USB flash drive, CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for 
the diskette drive to be the first boot device; the hard drive second; and the ATAPI 
CD-ROM third. If enabled, the last default boot device is the network.   

Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM 
format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CD-ROM 
is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. Accordingly, if 
there is not a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, the system attempts to boot from the 
next defined drive. 

You can select the network as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the 
onboard LAN or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed. 

Pressing the <F12> key during POST automatically forces booting from the LAN. To 
use this key during POST, you must set the User Access Level in the BIOS Setup 
program's Security menu to Full. 

For use in embedded applications, the BIOS was designed so that after passing the 
POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not 
present: 
  Video adapter 
  Keyboard 
  Mouse 

Pressing the <F10> key during POST causes a boot device menu to display. This menu 
displays the list of available boot devices (as set in the BIOS setup program’s Boot 
Device Priority Submenu). Table 29 lists the boot device menu options.
