Boot Sequence

Boot Sequence allows you to bypass the System Setup–dened boot device order and boot directly to a specic device (for example:

optical drive or hard drive). During the Power-on Self Test (POST), when the Dell logo appears, you can:

• Access System Setup by pressing F2 key

• Bring up the one-time boot menu by pressing F12 key

The one-time boot menu displays the devices that you can boot from including the diagnostic option. The boot menu options are:

• Removable Drive (if available)

• STXXXX Drive

NOTE

: XXX denotes the SATA drive number.

• Optical Drive (if available)

• SATA Hard Drive (if available)

• Diagnostics

NOTE

: Choosing Diagnostics, will display the ePSA diagnostics screen.

The boot sequence screen also displays the option to access the System Setup screen.

Navigation keys

: For most of the System Setup options, changes that you make are recorded but do not take eect until you restart the

system.
