Boot menu

Press and hold the Volume down key to access the BIOS. Press and hold the Volume up key to access the one time boot menu with a list

of the valid boot devices for the system. Diagnostics and BIOS Setup options are also in this menu. The devices that are listed on the boot

menu depend on the bootable devices in the system. This menu is useful when you are attempting to boot to a particular device or to

bring up the diagnostics for the system. Using the boot menu does not make any changes to the boot order stored in the BIOS.

The options are:

• UEFI Boot:

• Windows Boot Manager

• Other Options:

• BIOS Setup

• Device Configuration

• BIOS Flash Update

• Diagnostics

• SupportAssist OS Recovery

• Exit Boot Menu and Continue

restart the system.
