Keyboard NumLock — Determines whether your system starts up with the NumLock mode activated on 101- or 102-

key keyboards (does not apply to 84-key keyboards).

Report Keyboard Errors — Enables or disables reporting of keyboard errors during the POST. This option is useful

when applied to self-starting or host systems that have no permanently attached keyboard. In these situations,

selecting Do Not Report suppresses all error messages relating to the keyboard or keyboard controller during POST.

This setting does not affect the operation of the keyboard itself if a keyboard is attached to the system.

assigned. You can enter an asset tag number of up to 10 characters into NVRAM.

See your Resource CD for additional information on the asset tag utility.

Boot Sequence Screen

The Boot Sequence screen options determine the order in which the system looks for boot devices that it needs to load

during system startup. Available options include the diskette drive, CD drive, network, and hard drives. You can enable or

disable a device by selecting it and pressing the spacebar. To change the order in which devices are searched, use the <+>

and <–> keys.

Hard-Disk Drive Sequence Screen

The Hard-Disk Drive Sequence screen options determine the order in which the system searches the hard drives for the

files that it needs to load during system startup. The choices depend on the particular hard drives installed in your system. To

change the order in which devices are searched, use the <+> and <–> keys. Press <Enter> to confirm your selection.

NOTE:

Although you can change the device search order in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence screen and select the boot

drive, Dell recommends that you do not change the default order in the Hard-Disk Drive Sequence screen.
