Hard-Disk Drive

Selecting Hard-Disk Drive causes the system to attempt to boot first from the hard-disk drive and then from the next device in the boot sequence
list.

IDE CD-ROM Device

Selecting IDE CD-ROM Device causes the system to try booting from the CD-ROM drive first. If it does not find a CD in the drive, the system tries
to boot from the next device in the boot sequence list.

MBA

Selecting MBA causes the system to prompt you to press <Ctrl><Alt><b> at the Dell logo screen during boot. A menu then appears that allows you
to select PXE, RPL, BootP, or NetWare as the active boot mode. If a boot routine is not available from the network server, the system tries to
boot from the next device in the boot sequence list.

CPU ID

CPU ID provides the manufacturer's identification code(s) for the installed microprocessor(s). If you have two microprocessors installed, both
should have the same identification code.

CPU Speed

CPU Speed indicates the processor speed at which your system boots.

Press the left- or right-arrow key to toggle the CPU Speed option between the resident microprocessor's rated speed (the default) and a lower
compatibility speed, which lets you accommodate speed-sensitive application programs. A change to this option takes effect immediately
(rebooting the system is not required).

To toggle between the rated processor speed and the compatibility speed while the system is running in real mode, press <Ctrl><Alt><\>. (For
keyboards that do not use American English, press <Ctrl><Alt><#>.)
