Advanced BIOS Features

First /Second/Third/ Boot Device

Select the order in which devices will be searched in order to find a boot device.
Options: Floppy, LS120, HDD-0, SCSI, CDROM, HDD-1, HDD-2, HDD-3, ZIP100,
USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-HDD, LAN, Disabled.

Boot Other Device

The setting allows the system to try to boot from other devices if the system fails to boot from
the 1st/ 2nd/ 3rd boot devices. Options: Enabled (default), Disabled.

Boot Up Floppy Seek

When Enabled, the BIOS tests (seeks) floppy drives to determine whether they have 40 or 80
tracks. Only 360-KB floppy drives have 40 tracks. Drives with 720KB, 1.2MB, and 1.44MB
capacity all have 80 tracks. Because very few modern PCs have 40-track floppy drives, we
recommend that you set this field to “Disabled”. Options: Enabled, Disabled (default).
