attempts to boot during system startup. Available options can
include a USB diskette drive, USB DVD/CD drive, hard
drives, and USB flash drive.
NOTE:
The USB diskette and DVD/CD-ROM device will be
displayed in the boot order setup screen even if they are not
attached to the system before you run the System Setup
program
Hard-Disk Drive
Sequence Determines the order in which the BIOS will attempt to boot
from hard drives in the system during system startup.
USB Flash Drive
Emulation Type
(Auto default) Determines the emulation type for a USB flash drive. Hard
disk allows the USB flash drive to act as a hard drive. Floppy
allows the USB flash drive to act as a removable diskette drive.
Auto automatically chooses an emulation type.
Auto automatically chooses the appropriate emulation type
for the device, except for devices installed in the SD card slot.
A device installed in the SD card slot will automatically
emulate a hard drive. If you install a device in this slot that is
configured as a removable diskette drive, you must manually
set the emulation type to Floppy.

(Disabled default) If this field is enabled and the system has failed to boot, the
system will reattempt to boot after 30 seconds.
