You can use this feature to change the current boot sequence, for example, to boot from
the optical drive to run Dell Diagnostics from the Drivers and Utilities disc. On completion
of the diagnostic tests, the previous boot sequence is restored.

appears in the lower-right corner of the

screen, press <F12>.

NOTE: If you wait too long and the operating system logo appears, continue to

wait until you see the Microsoft Windows desktop. Then shut down your
computer and try again.

The Boot Device Menu appears, listing all available boot devices.

On the Boot Device Menu choose the device you want to boot from.

For example, if you are booting to a USB memory key, highlight

device is bootable, check the device documentation.
