1 About the boot device order

As the computer starts, the system attempts to boot from enabled boot devices. The MultiBoot utility,

which is enabled at the factory, 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, and USB devices.

Boot devices contain bootable media or files that the computer needs to start and operate properly.

NOTE: Some boot devices must be enabled in Computer Setup before they can be included in the

boot order.

The factory setting is for the computer to select the boot device by searching enabled boot devices and

drive bay locations in the following order:

NOTE: Some of the boot devices and drive bay locations listed may not be supported on your

computer.

●MultiBay or optical drive

●Internal hard drive

●USB floppy

●USB diskette on key

●USB CD-ROM

●USB SuperDisk

●USB hard drive

●Network controller

You can change the order in which the computer searches for a boot device by changing the boot order

in Computer Setup. You can also press f9 while the “F9 = Boot device menu” message is displayed in

the lower-left corner of the screen when the computer starts up. Pressing f9 displays a menu that shows

the current boot devices and allows you to select a boot device. Or, you can use MultiBoot Express to

set the computer to prompt you for a boot location each time the computer turns on or restarts.

If MultiBoot is disabled, the computer uses a fixed boot order that consists of first searching for a drive

A boot device. If none is found, the computer looks for a drive C boot device. Drive A boot devices

include optical drives and diskette drives. Drive C boot devices include optical drives and hard drives.

The NIC does not have an assigned drive letter.

NOTE: An optical drive (such as a CD-ROM drive) can boot either as drive A or drive C, depending

on the format of the boot CD.

The following list describes the factory setting for boot order in which drive letters A and C are assigned

when MultiBoot is disabled. (The actual order varies by configuration.)

●Boot order for drive A boot devices:

1. Optical drive in an optional docking device or in an optional external MultiBay that contains a

disc formatted as drive A

2. Optical drive in the internal MultiBay (select models only) that contains a disc formatted as

drive A

3. Diskette drive in an optional docking device or in an optional external MultiBay

●Boot order for drive C boot devices:

1. Optical drive in an optional docking device or in an optional external MultiBay that contains a

disc formatted as drive C

2. Optical drive in the internal MultiBay (select models only) that contains a disc formatted as

drive C

3. Hard drive in the computer hard drive bay

4. Hard drive in an optional docking device or in an optional external MultiBay

NOTE: Because no drive letter is associated with the NIC, changing the boot order of a NIC does not

affect the drive letters of the other devices.

2 Enabling boot devices in Computer

Setup

The computer will boot to a USB device or a NIC device only if the device has first been enabled in

Computer Setup.

To enable a USB device or a NIC device as a boot device, follow these steps:

1. Open Computer Setup by turning on or restarting the computer, and then pressing f10 while the

"F10 = ROM Based Setup" message is displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.

2. To enable bootable media in USB drives or in drives inserted into an optional docking device (select

models only), use the arrow keys to select System Configuration > Device Configurations, and

then press enter. Use the arrow keys to select Enable in the USB legacy support field.

NOTE: The USB Port option must be enabled in order to use USB legacy support. It is enabled

at the factory. To disable or reenable this option, select System Configuration >Port Options.

– or –

To enable a NIC device, use the arrow keys to select System Configuration > Boot Options,

and then press enter. Use the arrow keys to select Enable in the Internal network adapter

boot field.

3. To save your preferences and exit Computer Setup, use the arrow keys to select File > Save

Changes and Exit. Then follow the instructions on the screen.

Your preferences go into effect when the computer restarts.

NOTE: To connect a NIC to a Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) or Remote Program Load (RPL)

server without using MultiBoot, quickly press f12 when the “Network Service Boot” message appears

in the lower-right corner of the screen (select models only).

3 Considering boot order changes

Before changing the boot order, note the following considerations:

●When the computer restarts after the boot order has been changed, the computer attempts to start

using the new boot order.

●If there is more than one type of boot device, the computer attempts to boot using the first of each

type of boot device (except for optical devices). For example, if the computer is connected to an

optional docking device (select models only) that contains a hard drive, this hard drive will be shown

in the boot order as a USB hard drive. If the system attempts to boot from this USB hard drive and

fails, it will not attempt to boot to the hard drive in the hard drive bay. Instead, it will try to boot to

the next type of device in the boot order. However, if there are 2 optical devices, and the first optical

device does not boot (either because it does not contain media or the media is not a boot disc),

the system will try to boot to the second optical device.

●Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive designations. For example, if you start up

from a CD-ROM drive with a disc formatted as drive C, that CD-ROM drive becomes drive C and

the hard drive in the hard drive bay becomes drive D.

●The computer will boot from a NIC device only if the device has been enabled in the Built-In Device

Options menu of Computer Setup and if booting from the device has been enabled in the Boot

Options menu of Computer Setup. Booting from a NIC does not affect logical drive designations

because no drive letter is associated with the NIC.

●Drives in an optional docking device (select models only) are treated like external USB devices in

the boot order.
