By default, Phoenix MultiBoot is disabled and the computer

selects the startup drive by searching these locations in this

sequence:

1. External diskette drive 3. Mobile expansion unit diskette

drive bay

2. Computer hard drive

bay

4. Mobile expansion unit MultiBay

To enable MultiBoot and change the sequence of the computer

drive bay locations that the computer searches during startup:

1. Restart the computer, then press

appears upper-right on the screen.

3. Toggle the MultiBoot field to Enable.

4. Toggle the Boot Order fields to the boot sequence you prefer.

5. To save your preferences and exit Boot Options, press

F10

6. To confirm saving your changes close Computer Setup, and

restart the computer, select File

Save Changes and Exit, then

press

F10

When the computer restarts and searches for a startup drive, it

considers only the first drive of each type. For example, in the

default boot order, the computer will not start from a bootable

diskette in the diskette drive bay of the mobile expansion unit if a

non-bootable diskette is in the external diskette drive connected to

the computer.

IMPORTANT:

Changing the boot order also changes the logical drive

designations. For example, if you start up from a hard drive in the

mobile expnasion base MultiBay, it becomes drive C and a hard

drive in the primary hard drive bay becomes drive D. Starting up

from a network card does not affect logical drive designations.
