The Storage Menu
The Storage menu is used to configure primary storage devices connected to
the system. The following is a list of selections found in this menu with an
explanation of each option:
Diskette Drives allows the selection of the type of diskette drive connected to
the diskette drive controller in the system.
Boot Order enables the user to configure the order of devices used to start an
operating system. This option can be used to prevent the system from starting
from diskette and CD and to select which device the system scans first.
Hard Drive Controller Order allows manual selection of the controller.
When the system displays the “attempting to Boot from C:” message, the
system searches the selected controller for an operating system. Whenever an
additional storage adapter is added to the system, it is recommended that you
use this selection to confirm that you are starting from the appropriate hard
drive controller.
Advanced allows the user to configure and control removable media, as well
as to control the use of the IDE controllers in the system devices. The
following is a list of selections found in this menu:
■ Removable Media allows you to select settings for removable media
devices.
■ IDE Devices allows you to observe devices connected to the primary
and secondary IDE controllers in the system.
■ IDE Drive Timing allows changes to the mechanism used for
transferring data between various IDE devices connected to the system.
■ IDE Options allows users to select whether IDE translations are
enabled.
