HP Z230 Workstation - Maintenance and Service Guide

Removable Media Boot
Enables/disables ability to boot the system from removable media. Default is enabled.
Max eSATA Speed
Allows you to choose 1.5 Gbps or 3.0 Gpbs as the maximum eSATA speed. By default, the speed is limited
to 1.5 Gbps for maximum reliability.
CAUTION: Consult your eSATA drive and cable manufacturer before enabling 3.0 Gpbs speed. Some
drive and cable combinations may not run reliably at 3.0 Gpbs.
Boot Order Allows you to:
●
EFI Boot Sources: Specify the order in which EFI boot sources (such as a internal hard drive, USB
hard drive, USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) are checked for a bootable operating system
image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for consideration as a
bootable operating system source.
EFI boot sources always have precedence over legacy boot sources.
●
Legacy Boot Sources: Specify the order in which legacy boot sources (such as a network interface
card, internal hard drive, USB optical drive, or internal optical drive) are checked for a bootable
operating system image. Each device on the list may be individually excluded from or included for
consideration as a bootable operating system source.
Specify the order of attached hard drives. The first hard drive in the order will have priority in the
boot sequence and will be recognized as drive C (if any devices are attached).
Shortcut to Temporarily Override Boot Order
To boot one time from a device other than the default device specified in Boot Order, restart the
computer and press esc (to access the boot menu) and then f9 (Boot Order), or press f9 (bypassing the
boot menu) when the monitor light turns green. After POST is completed, a list of bootable devices is
displayed. Use the arrow keys to select the preferred bootable device and press enter. The computer then
boots from the selected non-default device for this one time.
