Changing

the

Startup

Sequence

with MultiBoot

When more than one drive is in the system, the computer selects

the drive to start from by searching sequenced locations for, first,

a bootable CD-ROM or DVD-ROM; second, a bootable diskette;

and third, a bootable hard drive.

NOTE:

A bootable device or medium contains files needed by the

computer to start up and operate properly.

The computer can start from

■

Any bootable hard drive or bootable drive medium, such as a

diskette, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or disk, in the computer.

■

Any bootable diskette in the external diskette drive bay.

■

Any bootable diskette (but not a SuperDisk LS-120 drive

disk) in an optional expansion base.

■

Any bootable peripheral interconnect (PCI) network adapter

board in the computer.

By default, Phoenix MultiBoot is disabled and the computer

selects the startup device by searching these locations in this

sequence:

1 External diskette drive bay 5 Docking base left MultiBay

2 Computer MultiBay 6 Docking base bottom MultiBay

3 Computer hard drive bay 7 Ethernet board in computer

4 Docking base top or right

MultiBay

8–10 Docking base PCI slots

containing Ethernet, Token

Ring, or other network boards.

NOTE:

The availability and location of docking base bays and the

availability and sequencing of docking base PCI slots varies by

model and configuration.

You can change the sequence in which the computer searches for

a startup device by enabling MultiBoot and entering a new startup

sequence. When the computer restarts after your changes and

searches for a startup drive, it will consider only the first drive of

each type. For example, in the default boot order, the computer

will not start from a bootable diskette in an expansion base if a

non-bootable diskette is in the computer MultiBay.
