1.

[Hard Drive]

2.

[ATAPI CD-ROM Drive]

3.

[Floppy Drive]

The Boot menu allows you to select among the three possible boot devices listed using the up and down
arrow keys . By using the [+] or [Space] keys, you can promote devices and by using the [-] key, you can
demote devices. Promotion or demotion of devices alters the priority which the system uses to search for
a boot device on system power up.

NOTE: Currently there is no option to boot from the second hard disk drive. To boot from the CD-
ROM drive, it must be inserted into the Notebook PC, not the PortDock. Removable devices cur-
rently refer to floppy disks used in the floppy drive connected to the Notebook PC, floppy drive
cable, or the PortDock.
